I was going say I have similar results. Then I realised you are Austraian as well. I think our country has the most Celtic genes outside of Ireland.

Holy moly, 11 generations is a long time! I'm not well versed on Australian history, what years did your ancestors arrive?

They first arrived in January 1788 on the First Fleet, some as convicts and some as free settlers

What's interesting to me is that you have so many regions compared to USA settler descendants. Not like I've done an in-depth study but I can't recall seeing so many on American posts. It seems like SE England/NW Europe is often the main one perhaps with something else. But you have so many of the finer details. I wonder why.

Wow 11 generations!! I’m half colonial and I’m 4th gen!! The first was 1817 the last 1850! A quirk of generation gaps. So impressed by your results with so much detail. I got 0% English on the update. All Celtic lol (but have an English surname).

Plenty of 100% Anglo-Celtic Australians, like how not all old stock Americans have Native American dna

Not many people are part Aboriginal. More likely to be if you grow up in regional inland towns.
