Introduction

Estimates of Ethnicity are gained by the company comparing the DNA sample with a “reference group” whose heredity has been rigorously determined through documentation. As the numbers of people tested increases, the reference group is updated – which explains how the estimates can change over time.

Ethnicity: FamilyTree DNA

Using the Autosomal DNA, the “Origins 2” tool shows 75% British Isles, 24% West and Central Europe with <1% Asia Minor.

Ethnicity: Ancestry.co.uk

The estimate is 79% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe; 14% Ireland and Scotland with 7% Norway. For England & Wales – there were concentrations in Devon and “North Yorkshire, East Riding and Lincolnshire”.
