When the Ancestry results came back, they were pretty much as she expected (English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish).
I had my doubts, as Ancestry's matrices have their problems.
So I uploaded her raw data to several different sites (which I had done for mine) to see what variations might be present. I was especially curious as to see what FTDNA and MyHeritage found, as they were among the most accurate for me (my Ancestry percentages were off a bit on several ethnicities, but not totally incorrect).
Surprise, surprise..! They were both very closely in agreement. In addition to Scandinavian at 15% (which is likely due to considerable Scottish ethnicity), one of them reported 4% Southern Italian/Greek and the other 5% Italian/Sardinian.
My guess is it comes in as someone's wife as there are no Italian surnames uncovered so far, although some branches in her tree are extremely short and she hasn't had time to research them yet.
It will be interesting to find the 'mystery' Italian in her woodpile..!
