Ancestry DNA update

[Biggles50]

I had a splash banner show up this morning advising that a DNA update was coming soon.

8 new ethnicity regions.

The mind boggles at what there could possibly be different from the many permutations that there have been since we had our DNA tested.

I've now got an ethnicity inheritance as a chromosome browser.

How strange. They must be rollingout  updates in batches as my ethnicity estimate hasn't been  changed since the update earlier in the year and  the so called ''ethnicity chromosome browser'' arrived for me a few weeks ago.

I've noticed that the chromosome browser seems to be being introduced in batches but the ethnicity estimates all came together.  was rolled out at the same time.

This appeared on my Ancestry account too. I'll be interested to see what, if any, changes there will be to my ethnicity. This might be why I've had no new DNA matches for nearly a week.

I've just been in and seen about the 8 new ethniciities. I wonder what I'll be allocated now 

Phew - I had a shock and thought that my ethnicity had totally change - no Welsh or Scottish but various continental European countries.

I then realised that I was looking at the results of one of those I have access to. I'm still Welsh/Scottish/Irish

Hopefully might get some Norwegian back now

When I went in this evening, I found that quite a few new matches  - even a 33cM one!  Perhaps they've finished their ethnicity work and are getting back to the day to day processing!

Same here, 18 new ones this morning, after nothing for nearly a week

Has anyone had the update yet?
