Hmmm I donāt see this on mine. If I may ask, did you take a test with MH or upload your results from another company?
EDIT: checked back 5 minutes later and itās there! Just hold tight and itāll pop up eventually.
No, I uploaded my Ancestry DNA file to MyHeritage, and I got a message from MyHeritage that ā New, improved ethnicity estimate check back soon for your new resultsā.
So exciting! I wonder how much the results will change.
Iām at 96.2% Greek & South Italian, 2.2% Ashkenazi Jewish, and 1.6% Italian, pre-update. Wonder if those numbers will change in any way, or, if Iāll get new categories. On other dna sites, I have Middle Eastern, Levant, Eastern Europe, and Balkan, wonder if Iāll see any of these reflected in the MyHeritage update.
Yeah, mine says 49% scandinavian š¤£ so untrue! I mean, i would love to be almost half scandinavian, but i know it's not true. Im mostly Scottish and English boring but true. I wonder if they updated the scottish category š¤
23andme is WAY better than myheritage. 23andme was scarily accurate for me. Also Scottish and English ancestry isnāt boring! There are tons of interesting things about Scottish/English ancestry! In particular there are 17 distinct genetic groups in the British isles, sometimes those genetic groups are only separated by a few dozen kilometers, itās very intriguing.
Northern English are more genetically similar to Scottish than they are to the southern English. Southern English have significant Anglo Saxon admixture (around 30-40%) but some other areas of England only have like 10% Anglo Saxon admixture. Thereās also the Viking invasions that can still be seen in the genomes of British isles inhabitants, particularly in the highland Scots.
I think itās so interesting how the Angles and Saxons invaded England centuries ago but had such a massive effect that almost half of the genome of southern English is of Anglo Saxon origin. But the Romanās who invaded England had basically no effect on the genetics of the English. There are lots of interesting things about the English/Scottish you just have to look into it!
Yeah your right! I actually love my scottish ancestry! I am a decendant of somerled. My family were jacobites also my grandmother is flora mcdonald! Very cool stuff there!!
My half sister on her moms side (we have the same dad different moms) has ancestors that were apart of the Jacobite rising! The history of the lowland Scots and their immigration to America is very interesting too. My dadās side is ScotsIrish and we live in western North Carolina deep in Appalachia and have been here for hundreds of years, our ScotsIrish culture is still very much intact from the way that we speak/live/the foods we eat etc. The ScotsIrish had a massive impact on the United States. If you live in the US and you have Scottish and English ancestry in high amounts then itās very likely youāre descended from Scotsirish. My moms side is German and they ended up in Appalachia too and absorbed the Scotsirish culture
Are folks who uploaded from other companies like Ancestry and 23andMe included in this update or is it only for those who actually tested with a MyHeritage kit?
Ignore this... Yes we are, all the kits I've uploaded are now saying they're thriving the update.
I have tests uploaded from Ancestry and 23&me. They all say they are gonna get the update.
I saw in some other guys post that they will add Breton as its own ethnicity!
I just got into this stuff so donāt judge if I sound stupid, BUT does that also mean that u might get any new results or that your old ones just gets improved? I tried reading about it, but English isnāt my first language so I donāt really understandš (ofc I do understand the overall concept haha)
My initial kits (uploaded in 2020, they were 2019 test kits from Ancestry) for me and my parents are updated. My aunt's kits (Ancestry - uploaded 2022-ish, and 23AndMe in 2023-ish) are still waiting for an update. Preliminary check:
* Mine - Looks like Ancestry's 2020 update. I gained an "additional genetic group" of Baden-Wuttemberg at "low confidence". This would be my great-grandparents's ethnic group. I have it on pretty high confidence that my great-grandmother was from Baden-Wuttemberg because she told me many years ago. :)
* Eastern Europe - 82.9%
* Germanic - 11.5%
* Baltic - 4.2%
* North Italian - 1.4%
* Mom's - Her high confidence is Baden-Wuttemberg. Go figure... Anyway, this looks like a mix between Ancestry's 2021 update (that split Italy in two, with 20% actually going to Greece), and the 2023 update where Germanic was around 40%, and French was well on its' way down. So, that's an improvement.
* Germanic - 40.6%
* South Italian - 31.7%
* North Italian - 22.5%
* French - 3.9%
* Sardinian - 1.3%
* Dad's - Looks like Ancestry's 2019 estimate 100%. His Ukrainian genetic group went down to "Additional Genetic Groups" and was swapped with "Northern Germany, Poland and Czechia". He doesn't have Jewish or West Asian, but the Eastern European group seems to cover what the Balkans group used to be. At least his Baltic has Lithuania as a genetic group now.
* East Europe - 55%
* Baltic - 45%
Oh yeah, we are McDonald's through and through! My family takes pride in their heritage and name. We have lots of traditions, and im trying to keep them going through my own family! Im 50% scottish my mother is 100% the other half of me is english german finnish and baltic.
This is where the fun begins
I see this message how long will it take
It's happening?!š²
Hmmm I donāt see this on mine. If I may ask, did you take a test with MH or upload your results from another company? EDIT: checked back 5 minutes later and itās there! Just hold tight and itāll pop up eventually.
Con man!
Bankroll! Whatās up my friend?? I wanna see your updated results. Letās see if MH can get you to that 25%!
Nope 4% š³
Damn dude they hoeād you šš
Yea straight trash
MH
Gotcha. Dang. Looks like those who tested with MH might be the only ones getting the update!
Both of my kits and all of the ones I manage have this notification. All of them were uploaded to MH.
Oh good! I guess theyāre just rolling it out in waves. Thanks for the info!
All of my kits were uploaded, but I see them, too.
No. Even my uploaded kits from Ancestry have this message as well.
Nope, I uploaded mine, and it tells me its gonna get updated soon
Nope. I got an update today and my dna was imported
No, I uploaded my Ancestry DNA file to MyHeritage, and I got a message from MyHeritage that ā New, improved ethnicity estimate check back soon for your new resultsā.
Life got better

Greek and South Italian have been separated. Greek and Albanian is a new category.
I have 17% East European that isnāt real lol so hopefully mine will change pretty significantly
Yeah, mine says 49% scandinavian š¤£ so untrue! I mean, i would love to be almost half scandinavian, but i know it's not true. Im mostly Scottish and English boring but true. I wonder if they updated the scottish category š¤

Yayyyyy!!!!
Oh thanks god its Friday š«
It doesn't say anything on my upload from ancestrydna will it not be updated?
Mine says an update is coming and mine is uploaded from ancestry as well.
But mine doesn't says anything??š„
Hmm a step in the right direction by MH hopefully it happens soon
Yesss
Mine doesnāt say that
Move from Overview to Ethnicity ā¦.tabs!
I'd I don't have the message wil my results still be updated??
Likely yes, it might just be a visul bug, every single one that tested in MH Will be updated
Also uploads from AncestryDna?
I dont know, maybe tehy'll be the last ones but probably will
I don't have this message
My wife got her updated results
Today??
Yes. Her updated results make so much more sense and also align closely to her ancestry ethnicity results.
Woop woop. Only took them a decade to get their sh*t in order lol. Iām glad her results are accurate!!
Yup. Waiting for mine and my daughters now.
Fuck yes
My mom already got her updated results. They're much more consistent with what I have investigated.
Well, I hope they finally fix their amerindian samples and finally use some actual amerindians so they stop overestimating them.
How many time was there between this message and the new results?
Anyone else still waiting? Lol
Yes š
Are you still waiting almost a day later as I still haven't had my new results yet
I got the results of my 2 kits like 4-5 hours ago
Awesome! Canāt wait to get new results! They need an update badly! š
Yessssss
Mine got this tooooooo woaaaaaa
At last!
Yep, I see it too, hopefully it will be a good update lol
Are folks who uploaded from other companies like Ancestry and 23andMe included in this update or is it only for those who actually tested with a MyHeritage kit? Ignore this... Yes we are, all the kits I've uploaded are now saying they're thriving the update.
Iām hoping my son gets some Middle Eastern in the update it didnāt show up
Come on time to compete with ancestry and 23!
I have tests uploaded from Ancestry and 23&me. They all say they are gonna get the update. I saw in some other guys post that they will add Breton as its own ethnicity!
I just got into this stuff so donāt judge if I sound stupid, BUT does that also mean that u might get any new results or that your old ones just gets improved? I tried reading about it, but English isnāt my first language so I donāt really understandš (ofc I do understand the overall concept haha)
Anything is possible, yes. For example, Iām hoping it will add my Italian finally
Anyways, Iām really exited for it!
My initial kits (uploaded in 2020, they were 2019 test kits from Ancestry) for me and my parents are updated.

Iāll have to do a post about. There are too many errors and things that become less accurate to answer quickly.
Mines says still update or update on the way ughh
I posted this and mine is still on the way so donāt worry hahaha
Got my update today. Now am i 100% swedish.
Worst updatesā¦EVER!!!!!!
Oh yeah, we are McDonald's through and through! My family takes pride in their heritage and name. We have lots of traditions, and im trying to keep them going through my own family! Im 50% scottish my mother is 100% the other half of me is english german finnish and baltic.
Btw im from Southeast Ga right on the coast y family has been here for 100s of years as well
I've had this for some time now. What changes will be made? Are they adding new ethnicities?
Honestly, donāt get too excited. My update is complete crap.
What changed in your update?
