I also had problems with Ancestry DNA. They show a map but used my family tree to pinpoint the locations. They also gave me many matches. None of them had any of my family names. I even contacted several of them and they were also at a loss as to how we were connected. My DNA site is now down (has been since yesterday afternoon) so cannot access any new information. Waste of money. -----Original Message----- From: irl-kerry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-kerry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of irl-kerry-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, October 18, 2013 3:00 AM To: irl-kerry@rootsweb.com Subject: IRL-KERRY Digest, Vol 8, Issue 170 Today's Topics: 1. The continuing Ancestry DNA (Lois Casson) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 22:10:20 -0500 From: Lois Casson <lcasson@cox.net> Subject: [IRL-KERRY] The continuing Ancestry DNA To: irl-kerry@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <5260A69C.30908@cox.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Okay, this one is hard to believe. Last week Ancestry told me I was 97% Scandinavian, 3% unknown. This week AncestryDNA made a big announcement that it has "evolved" and everyone gets new information. Today I am 36% Great Britain (still bogus), 25% Swedish, 23% Western European (also off), 5% Irish and 11% trace (made up of 5% Iberian Peninsula, 5% Eastern European, <1% European Jew). If they evolve enough they may get it right. I can't wait to see what FamilyTreeDNA comes up with. As far as I am concerned, Ancestry has absolutely no credibility. They gave me results in 3 weeks that they told me would take 6-8 and then change everyone's a week later.
