Ancestry.com's updated DNA results

My old Ancestry results were bogus, and I think the new ones are, too. I see a lot of relatives getting significant amounts of Iberian Peninsula or Italy/Greece but without any of that known ethnic background. I'm still getting too high Scandinavian, went from 37% to 30%, while in 23andMe it is just 3%. I used to have 32% Southern European, but now there is just 9% Italy/Greece, with no known ancestry from there. But the new results did pick up 2% African and 1% Native American, while before the change they had 3% Uncertain. This is consistent with 23andMe and the only improvement that I found.

Maybe your British is too similar to Scandinavian to know the difference. Do you have British ancestry on paper? For a lot of people they are probably pretty much the same.

Very interesting 20 20. This man who was found as an infant was placed with a family who's baby was stolen and has always wondered if it was true. It turns out he not their physical son. The partents refuse to give DNA to match several possible men who could be their lost son, but his dna was submitted to Ancestry's data base, and he has found a third cousin who is working with him.

I keep wondering if the other men submitted theirs to this and other data bases if it would get hits which might give them an answer. Amazing story, and I hope to hear more of it.
