I posted my results a while back but have since learned a bit more. Instead of using the global calculator, I attached screenshots of the results set to the European calculators that gave me the closest genetic fit for each period.
1–2: AncestryDNA results (October 2025)
3: Hunter-Gatherer & Farmer
4: Bronze Age (Central Europe)
5: Iron Age (Italy North)
6: Late Antiquity (Italy North)
7: Middle Ages (Central Europe)
8: Closest modern populations
9: DIY model using modern samples roughly corresponding to current AncestryDNA regions (English [Cornwall and Kent], Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German, Austrian, Danish, Ashkenazi Jew [including East and West])
My known ancestry is English on both sides, Irish and Ashkenazi on my father’s side, and presumably Scottish and/or Scots-Irish on my mother’s side. I’m not aware of any recent German or Danish ancestry on either side but I haven’t done too much research into my family tree. My Germanic Europe and Scotland percentages tend to fluctuate fairly dramatically with every AncestryDNA update.
