My Ancestry results are in!

According to 23andMe, I am:
56.9% British and Irish
27.5% German
1.7% Scandinavian
10.5% Broadly Northwestern European
2.2% Southern European (this was formerly Portuguese/Spanish)
1.1% Broadly European
(and before this, 0.10% Broadly Northern East African, where’d that go?)

According to Ancestry, I am:
71% from England, Wales, and Northwestern Europe
25% from Ireland and Scotland
4% from Germany

That’s quite a stretch between the two of them.

Honestly, I think my Germanic DNA and my Irish DNA are having a fistfight.

I didn’t expect them to be so vastly different in terms of feedback, but here we are, I suppose!
