<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I recently undertook an Ancestry DNA test and was fascinated by the ethnicity results, although not surprising knowing the history of the country of my birth, Mostly Dutch/Germanic (32%) and Scottish (32%) with English (16%), and a close 4th, Swedish (14%) and a bit of Welsh (2%) making up the European DNA. A smattering of "First Nation" Khoisan (1%) and a smattering of slaves from Northern India (2%) and Nigeria.(1%)</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I recently undertook an Ancestry DNA test and was fascinated by the ethnicity results, although not surprising knowing the history of the country of my birth, Mostly Dutch/Germanic (32%) and Scottish (32%) with English (16%), and a close 4th, Swedish (14%) and a bit of Welsh (2%) making up the European DNA. A smattering of "First Nation" Khoisan (1%) and a smattering of slaves from Northern India (2%) and Nigeria.(1%)</p>
<p>I then decided to upload my DNA on another site - Myheritage - as my original tree was created with them and may have provided a better source for relatives.</p>
<p>This is where things get confusing.</p>
<p>According to Myheritage, my ethnicity is mostly English (38%), a close second Scandinavian/Swedish (34%) and not far off, Iberian/ Spanish (22.7%) <em>(not even mentioned and not remotely close to Ancestry results - nor indicative of any ancestors in the tree)</em>. Scottish (2%) hardly gets a mention. They have similar results for Indian (2%) and there is an indication of the mixed lineage "typical of settlers to Southern Africa although they do not provide a %.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain how these results are so different using the exact same DNA results?</p>

<p>My mother's maiden name was Slavin and I can not find any information about this line beyond my great grandfather Francis Slavin who appears in the Wellington NSW Australia district to marry my great grandmother in 1875.</p>
<p>Anyone that is connected I would love to make contact with you.</p>

<p>I've just completed a study into the colonial court records of Wilkes County, NC. The search is never boring when reading these transcripts dating over 200 years ago. I've comprised a list containing 90 surnames with a brief description on how they appear in the records. Everyone is welcome to take a look. Just visit <a href="https://piedmonttrails.com/2022/06/20/colonial-court-records-wilkes-county-nc/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Piedmont Trails</a> and read the research study.</p>
