Off topic I know but anyone had this done..... had mine done recently somewhat surprised by the results comparatively to other results Ive seen...turns out im 94.8% irish scottish welsh.... who'd of guessed and 5.2% Iberian... kind of always thought I had some exotic blood in me coming from stock from down by the docks like.. nope basically im a Celt..not sure as to how I feel happy or sad..... still working it out
 


Assumed they're a bit of a con like?

5.2% Iberian? Who is going to argue...
Could well be I'm very skeptical of the thing myself my wife less so...... a friend also from Liverpool got his done he is a whole list of nationalities around Europe, most people I know who have had it done get very mixed results with numerous ethnicities I'm alone so far in having 95% of basically one type, I'm awaiting my sisters results as there is a question mark over our joint parentage to put it delicately. But still it all seems very random on a saliva sample

How can it be off topic when you introduced the topic?

The test traces Mitochondrial DNA, which only come from your mothers side, so if you - or anybody else is looking to trace their Male line, well you're out of luck...They don't actually spell this out either

What will my results tell me?
Your AncestryDNA results include information about your ethnicity across 26 regions/ethnicities and identifies potential relatives through DNA matching to others who have taken the AncestryDNA test. Your results are a great starting point for more family history research, and it can also be a way to dig even deeper into the research you've already done.
