The Inside (DNA)
My AncestryDNA Results
An overview of my AncestryDNA ethnicity results shows my DNA inheritance as mainly England & Northwestern Europe (41%), France (26%), and Germanic Europe (18%). With the recent update to AncestryDNA's result categorization, I now also show 10% Danish and 2% Swedish (where before it was more broadly categorized as Scandinavian). And my Irish heritage is 3%.
I had 40,833 DNA matches as of 31 January 2025.
