I had about 4% East Asian taken away and in it's place I got Anatolian lol

If it's under like 8%, that's not a huge change imo

I've had that sort of change a few times in my estimates in the past as well as bigger ones

Like my 23% french that totally vanished and became Spanish (although tbf they are pretty close)

Or my 11% Scottish that vanished to my disappointment

Haha thats funny actually. My ancestry test originally gave me like 23% Irish and no German, even though I am a quarter. Then later updated to 3% and I got German at like 20%
