Cornish Ancestry and 10% irish/Scottish DNA
« on: Monday 25 May 20 10:21 BST (UK) »
Having been given the Ancestry DNA test and having traced all my ancestry as far back as possible, mostly to late 17th century I have found no ancestors outside Southern England bar 1 3x great grandfather born in Walsall.

I was therefore surprised to get a DNA result of 10% Irish/Scottish DNA. However, I do have one Cornish great great grandmother. Could her Cornish ancestry account for most of this result?
