Ancestry identifies my wife as having a strong South Australian element to her family and mine shows up as mostly Victorian that's accurate.
They pinpoint the specific area of Ireland where our relatives originated from (Galway Mayo)
On the other hand they do provide a rather broad range e.g My 39% England Northern Europe is actually a range of 30%-51%
Accuracy of ethnicity may be dependent to some extent on the volume of samples in the database.
The more folks that take the test the more dependable the database.
But as LP suggests there may be many other factors involved, so if anyone can enlighten us?
