MyHeritage have a major update to their ethnicity estimates scheduled for this year.

I think they're currently  working their  way through  them now, as I  am currently getting  this  below message with my child's  DNA  :

"The ethnicity results for this kit are currently being generated. Please check back here tomorrow to see the updated results."

 My own isn't  showing  the message, and my ethnicity hasn't changed .Perhaps they're  working their way through them in batches . Anyway, it  looks as if my child's  is currently in the process of   being updated.
 
I wonder what they'll  have me as when they update it .  My ethnicity on Myheritage is absolutely comical .  According to them  I am almost 50% Scandinavian, 47% to be exact  and  15% Iberian, and  my child has 0  of these ethnicities  , go figure lol. How could I possibly not pass any  at all ( not even 1%) of that  whopping amount in me onto my child lol.

Ancestry's ethnicity  is pretty  much near to correct with both mine and my child's,  they give  a break down  for me, of half Irish and Scottish  , my mum and all her ancestors  are from  Ireland, with many of them who came to Ireland from  Scotland a few hundred years back.
And the other half  me  from my Welsh  father is  majority  Welsh with a little English 7% and 2% Denmark - don't  know where the Denmark is coming in, and probably wont ever know as too far back to trace,  that's if  it is even correct)

I can't  wait  to see what MyHeritage has in store for me with their updated version, I wonder if I'll  lose  all my  lovely Scandinavian and Iberian, or perhaps they'll   go the whole hog  and make me 100%   Scandinavian and Iberian lol ( as I am currently sitting on 62 % Scandinavian and Iberian combined with them . I do not have any ancestors from those regions at all , well not in the past few hundreds of years for 100% sure  ,and  100% DNA proven ) .

None of my full  1st cousins ( I have maternal and a paternal 1st cousin on my heritage ) ,or any other  of my cousin's  have this lovely Scandinavian and Iberian in their  ethnicities , goodness what they  have done  to mine lol . I think Myheritage's computer was  drunk as a skunk when it came to interpreting my ethnicity  
 I can't wait for their update, hopefully it will  amuse me some more .
Kind regards




 

I can't  find him either in the death registrations . Are you sure he died  in Swansea in 1972 ,and didn't  go back to Ireland ?
 Posting this one  below  with exact same name just in case:

 Dungarvan, Waterford ,St Mary's RC
Patrick Joseph Street
Died 2-5-1957 Aged 48 .
The transcript on their  page says 1987, but unless my eyes are playing up -  the stone definitely reads 1957. His wife's age would tally with that too as it's not often that a woman is decades older than her husband.
Wife's  name Johanna ( died  1983, age 80)

When was your Patrick Joseph  born?  Or his about birth year ,if the exact birth date not known. What was  his wife's  name? ( if  no longer with us of course) , or any  deceased family members names? Any extra  little info may help to track  his death down.
Kind regards

This  below is a post on their Facebook page (dated 6 Feb).
Maybe give them an email over, it's  probably teething problems with their new site and they may, or may not be aware of the problem.
Kind  regards

These are  the baptisms  results for a John steele using "exact". It's the same for the other record  sets . The search  results will only show all John Steele's
Kind regards.

What I find really annoying  ,  and have done for years( unless I am missing  the obvious and there is this feature) when you press on a said name in someone's  tree that there isn't  any function  to show the relationships to  the home person ( or how they are supposed to be connected to the home person in the tree) . Ie steps ,an obvious path  back to the home person. 

For example  I have come across many trees that have my direct  relatives  in them  such as my grandmother and her parents , siblings  and so on but  for the life of me I can not work how on earth my relatives are connected to their home  person when are there are thousands upon thousands , upon thousands of names in their  tree  and the home person is  clearly not a close relative or none of the siblings of their  ancestors of each generation marrying a sibling of my family and so on.

I would love to see some type of clearly
marked path  ( or a tag saying 6th  cousin 5 times removed  in -law 100 times removed or  something lol )  from any given name in the tree back to the home person  in the trees, if you  know what  I mean. When a person's tree has zillions  of names and there is clearly no obvious  link  to the home person no matter how you look at  all their surrounding family, up down and wide, it's very hard, if not impossible a lot of the times  trying to discover  how that person  in their  tree is  connected to their home person in the tree.

Kind regards.
