I took a My Heritage DNA test last year which claimed I was over 96% Irish, Scots, Welsh. No English at all. I expected to be around 50% Irish from my mother but my father, whose ancestors are well documented, was from virtually all English stock. I called My Heritage to check that my result reflected both my parents and they said it did! Understandably I was somewhat shocked and asked 2 of my brothers to take the test as well. Their results were similar which was very puzzling! So... I recently took and Ancestry DNA test and the result was very different. It claimed I was just over 50% Irish, and gave the areas of Ireland that I know my mothers ancestors came from. And I was about 48% English - much more what I expected. It even put me in touch with other cousins whose DNA I share on my fathers side. What should I do? How could My Heritage be so wrong? I’m quite angry!
