Like all ethnicity predictions it seems a bit of a lottery.
On my father's side his paternal line is from Berks / Oxon and his maternal line is split between Sussex and Jersey (Channel Islands). Ancestry only shows my community inherited from him as Berks / Oxon, no mention of any maternal contribution. I can understand that possibly these two further communities dilute the predictions
But, my mother's line is split between Dorset / Hampshire for her father and Yorkshire for her mother, but the only community that Ancestry shows for her side is Dorset / Hampshire. Again the paternal line only.
