Yearly AncestryDNA update, 2026 vs. 2025. Increase in overall English. Reckon a good portion of my prior Central Scotland & NI region got eaten up by Northern England, and supplanted with the 8% Ulster (unsurprising given my paternal Scots-Irish lineage).
Overall, more in line with the greater Englishness of my traceable family tree, as compared to the 2025 update.

Interesting shift. Happy that it discarded the continental regions, cleans things up nicely. I’d still say LivingDNA has been the most accurate for myself, but this is a promising update I think. Likely to improve into the future. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
@AdamPollock According to some Irish, Liam O’Malley from Boston has no legitimate claim to “Irishness,” but Adebayo Abubakar who showed up 5 minutes ago is a true son of the sod.
