Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA ethnicity doesn't match parents!
« on: Thursday 29 September 22 18:29 BST (UK) »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 isQuote7%
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.
