hi all
i ve just had my DNA results and it states that im 59%irish but it has highlighted in brackets (munster) , 36% english (southern ) in brackets highlighted and 5% french
even though i have pointers for other places in uk and ireland they re not down on my actual list, the reason im confused by this is because basically thats all my nan on my mums side tree, basically my great grand parents on my mums maternal line
but i thought you had half each from each parent ??, my dads side are lancashire/liverpool and most before that ireland, but much further up north not munster
my nans mum was from cork and all her family before her and cork is munster, my nans dad though born in ireland was only half irish, his mum full irish and from cork and way back, but his dad was originally from kent and i have a massive famtree of all the kent line on ancestry, branching out to 1400 s for sure, then further back to the norman invasion, tenuious though it is, but that will be the 5% french
so as you see it all fits in with my nan s line, but not with any other, just to recap, i ve copied this next bit
reland and Scotland59%
Munster, Ireland *
England, Wales & Northwestern Europe36%
Southern England*
France5%
has anyone got any ideas on this, thanks in advance, ps, no other line in my tree has any other connections with southern england
