Impressive British Isles breakdown
I was really impressed with the breakdown they provided, especially because a lot of my ancestry is UK based. The results matched up really well with my paper trails and helped confirm a few things too. I am looking forward to more updates on other regional breakdowns and finding matches.

Irish ancestry FAQs
To determine your ancestral regions from the 21 current British regions, we analyze over 700,000 areas of your DNA. We then compare your unique DNA signature to our database of thousands of people with known ancestry throughout The British Isles.
If you have purchased our full ancestry kit and have over 20% British and Irish ancestry, then your results will automatically be run on the British Isles and Ireland panel.
The science of DNA testing is constantly evolving and our estimates evolve with it. Your regional predictions are based on genetic signatures found in people historically located in that area for several generations. As more DNA is collected, more genetic signatures are found and refined.
If you purchased our full ancestry kit, then the process takes 6-8 weeks from receiving your sample. If you have uploaded and purchased the recent ancestry upgrade, you will receive results in 72 hours.
