DNA Test
A few years
ago Carol of nzolivers.com undertook a genetic
test through AncestryDNA.
A DNA test can determine a person's ancestry
or biological relationship between people.
Carol's results have identified thousands of
matches. Already communications has resulted
from these connections.
The original results for 'Ethnicity
Estimate':
- 51% Great
Britain
(Northern England,
Southern Enland)
- 35% Ireland/Scotland/Wales
- 7% Europe West (Belgium,
France, Germany, Netherlands,
Switzerland, Luxembourg,
Liechtenstein)
- 4% Scandinavia
(Primarily located in:
Sweden, Norway, Denmark)
In June 2019,
Ancestry added new regions to improve the
precision of their results for DNA tests and that
ethnicity estimate was as follows:
- 54%
Ireland and Scotland (North
East Scotland & the Northern Isles
including Banff & Buchan, Ulster,
Ireland especially South Down & North
Louth)
- 46%
England, Wales & Northwestern Europe (Devon & Cornwall, England,
especially Devon)
More recently, as at
July 2024, the ethnicity estimate on
Ancestry was further refined and now shows:
- 38% Scotland
- 31% Ireland
- 25% England
& Northwestern Europe
- 4% Germanic
