As usual, is worth reminding those who have DNA-tested siblings that you should not expect the same regional map as they will have inherited different segments. My sister's DNA sees connections in ancestral families my DNA does not, and vice versa. These are my sister's updates, which you can compare to mine in the previous post.

Anyone who has tested with Ancestry can check their updated ethnic regions (updated October 2025). Don't forget if you are a user of DNA Painter there are guidance notes on how to copy/paste the Ancestry chromosome browser bars to your app and display against your segments.

My comments are that the regions are getting closer to my known ancestral regions.

The Geneal Geologist

Just a personal blog about research into aspect of my English family history & DNA. I am an amateur genetic genealogist (known as "The Geneal Geologist" since 1979). Why that name? It is simply because family history rocks! I collaborate with those sharing the same ancestry and matching DNA.

This is not a business and no offer of research is implied. I hope your find posts here educational and relevant to your own research, which hopefully involves families we have in common.
