Devon Cruwys, thank you, these two blogs are very helpful.
Based on the distribution of my own English Ancestry, if I was " average" I would expect about 21% West Europe DNA and 18% Irish DNA. My result of 38% West Europe helps confirm the previous well researched link back to my Huguenot ancesters. My Irish at 21% versus 18% average is probably not statistically significant and may just be down to the randomness of the percentages we inherit from each generation.
Learning all the time on DNA. At the moment I really just see it as "supporting evidence" to the real paper trail based genealogy which takes all my time! It would be good if the Ancestry DNA regions were smaller to give more granularity, maybe that is for the future.
