  5. How odd!

    #MyHeritage #DNA says my #ethnicity has changed! (I don’t have much faith in MyHeritage)

    It previously said I had some #Baltic DNA.

    It tells me, in order of percentage, where my DNA now says my ancestors are from:

    #Scottish & #Welsh - 27.9%

    #English - 25.4%

    #Irish - 21.8%

    #Breton - 6.8%

    #Dutch - 6.4%

    #French - 6.1%

    #Danish - 3.7%

    #Germanic - 1.9%
