That's interesting.  I am currently awaiting a Family Tree DNA kit  (it was in Chicago yesterday) which I ordered specifically to double check that Irish result from AncestryDNA.   Perhaps all the different terminology used by the different companies is weakening the credibility of the results - particularly that story from Ancestry, which I was really glad to hear from Lynn's post yesterday.   Susan Saskatoon On Thu, 28 Apr 2016 06:02:28 -0500, Carolyn Harmon via wrote: Thanks for clarification. My family tree DNA did not show Irish, but ancestry DNA did which I wondered about.
