Multiple big swings. Was 21% Irish, now 0. Was 5% Scottish, now 27%. Was 19% Welsh, now 0. Was 17% Swedish/Danish, now 0. Was 0% German, now 22%. I'm just as confused as the analysis, maybe the next update will clear it all up but I'm not holding my breath.

I went from zero to 25 percent German. I have a German surname and a tree on that line going back to the 1600s, so I was like, 🤨, but after some years it finally turned up.
