It could well be how you are reading the ethniity fgures. These usually come with a large  range  so 11% could be really anything between 1% - 19%  for example.   

If you click on the figure in your indivdual ethnicity results, you will see this range. An example from my results for Scotland is

7%
Your ethnicity estimate is 7%, but it can range from 0-14%  and

 Your range of 0—14% comes from making multiple comparisons of your DNA to our reference panel. It includes other possible, but less likely, percentages.

PS ethnicity estimates should be taken with a large pinch of salt at the moment. It depends on the reference group they are using.

Thank you. I just thought it was weird.
my results say that my parents are my parents, so at least I know I don't have anything to really worry about.

Hi all,
I am hoping someone can try to explain how I have 2 ethnicity regions within my DNA results that neither of my parents have in theirs. Is this possible?

Thank you

I am currently looking for any information on my 3rd great grandparents Daniel Cooney (Coony) and Julia Sulivan
The only information I know for certain is that they have a daughter named Mary 04 Apr 1849, Kinsale 1849. She later moved to Wales with her husband Henry.

I found a marriage for Daniel and Julia - 17 November 1846 In KINSALE, Ireland

On the marriage, it states the witnesses are TIMY SULLIVAN and JOANAH SULLIVAN

 I originally thought they may have been Julia’s parents, however, I haven’t been able to find any evidence of this.

If anyone can find any other information for me I would be eternally grateful. I am really struggling with this search.

Thank you

Nancy is commonly used as another name for Ann, as is Hannah 

From Wikipedia:

"The name Nancy was originally a diminutive form of Anne or Ann."

When was Henry's oldest sibling born? Was it around 1763? That would be a good way to corroborate the information. How was the mother's name listed on his/her baptism?

I am not sure about this.
I have found many baptisms in Maresfield with the father of Henry Jupp, but some of them say Nanny as the mother and others say, Nancy, none of them say Ann.

Hi,

A family tree on Ancestry has the following:

Henry JUPP m. Ann Nancy RIDLEY

11 May 1762 in St Bartholomew's Church, Maresfield, Sussex

Maybe you could try looking this up on SFHG?

I have done this already and there is a marriage in Maresfield of a Henry Jupp and an Ann Ridley but not Ann Nancy Ridley yet on the baptism it says Nancy Jupp. So there is no way of corroborating this information.
