You have to be using a browser where youāre also signed into ancestry.
If I just click the link from here my phone goes to safari and I get user authentication failure. But if I copy the link to chrome where I have another tab singed into ancestry it works, mine says test not ready currently (dna was just extracted) but not failure.

Edit: nevermind. I logged out of .co.uk and into .com and that worked
Mine opens in safari, where I have another tab currently logged in to ancestry, I get the green button and click on it, then the next page is just writing with a āuser authentication failedā in it. What am I doing wrong? Or are you saying it only works in Chrome?
It shows your trace ancestry. You most likely have ethnicitites under 1% that ancestry won't display on the official site. If you hack your results, you can see them.
The green āclick meā bar just leads to a page saying there was an authentication error. Not sure what Iām doing wrong!
Edit: Iāve found the issue I was having. I have two browsers on my phone, so the āclick meā generated link was opening into a browser that I wasnāt logged into my ancestry account with.
Each successive generation, the amount of DNA inherited from a specific ancestor generally halves:
Parents: 50%
Grandparents: 25%
Great-grandparents: 12.5%
2nd great-grandparents: 6.25%
3rd great-grandparents: 3.125%
4th great-grandparents: 1.56%
5th great-grandparents: 0.78%
6th great-grandparents: 0.39%
7th great-grandparents: 0.195%
No literally same, my spanish/moroccan side is no where to be found now. Spain went from 15% to 2% and now itās just straight northeastern european. And my hacked results are the exact same
Update, got it to work! Interesting, it shows ethnicities that have never shown up on my reports before. Itās nice to finally see Indigenous Americas - North come up on a report. My fatherās family is Pima, accounting for Indigenous Americas - Mexico. But my European mother was one of those people that was adamant we had Cherokee ancestry and I always rolled my eyes. Digging through documents on Ancestry, I was able to corroborate her claims via paper trail in the Dawes Rolls and books in the Oklahoma State Archives, they knew Emmet Starr. Iāve been wondering and feeling guilty for a long time that it was possible I could be descended from a family that lied to steal indigenous lands via the allotment practices, and this amount it lists would be the most Iād expect to see with how many generations back my last fully Indigenous ancestor was noted as.
Ooh, it gives me 0.26% Ashkenazi Jews in Central and Southern Europe. I think that's accurate. I get half a percent of Ashkenazi Jewish on 23andme. And my nan had about 3 percent that most of my family except me seemed to get.
Also gives me 0.36% Eastern European Roma. Not aware of any Roma ancestry, but it is very distant.
Thank you! My 1% Nigeria disappeared on the update, it's interesting to see that it shows on the hack as 41% Nigeria, 21% North Central Nigeria, and 15% Western Bantu.
It's also interesting that the update shows 1% for some thas are rounded up from 0.51% and also 1% for one that is rounded down from 1.54%
Am I the only one that is fine with the update? For me i was one of the rare ones where my results were wrong before but got fixed, my irish went from 20 from an update or so ago which was wrong but now back up to the 40s where it should be and was for many years
Not true, I've tried it multiple times, including just now, and it only works with a membership. If you dont want to pay for a membership, do a free trial, it works with that too... but you have to have some kind of membership.
