This recently came up in discussion so I thought I’d post results from my DNA analysis that took place a few years ago. When it was first analysed, I had ancestry that stretched across to Western Europe and beyond. Here was my analysis from a few years ago:

Europe West
39%
Great Britain
23%
Ireland/Scotland/Wales
19%
Iberian Peninsula
6%
Scandinavia
4%
Europe East
3%
Finland/Northwest Russia
3%
Asia South
<1%
Europe South
<1%
Caucasus
<1%
However, that has now changed and vastly simplified. This happens as the science improves and their database as well. I am now pretty much British/Northwestern Europe, with a hint of Irish and Scottish. So ignore the stuff above…

Yup, just the ole:
  •  England, Wales & Northwestern Europe – 98%
    • Northern England & the Midlands
  • Ireland and Scotland – 2%
