Father's side: been in North America for many generations, most arrived in early 1800's, so some uncertainty of origins ethnic origins, in order of highest proportion to lowest: English, Scottish, Irish, Channel Islands (6/64), Germanic Alsatian/Swabian (2/64 or 3/64) Mother's side: parents...

Is it possible to figure out which ethnic group my paternal ancestor belonged to based on my Y-DNA haplogroup? It is downstream of I1c1a on ISOGG (I know the more recent mutations but I don’t want to post them for privacy reasons). My surname is quite rare and there is a theory that it derives...

I got partial results back. I am DF29-, if I am interpreting this correctly. I have the ancestral A allele at this marker.

I fixed part of it with image editing.

interesting

@Angela What about this data? I think it's from Lazaridis et al..

I contacted LivingDNA Helpdesk, this is the response I recieved: I am unsatisfied with the response to my questions regarding the map changing and not including regions that contribute to the admixture percentage. They just copy-pasted info I already read from the FAQs and it doesn't answer my...

I sent the following to LivingDNA Helpdesk. The response: They didn't really answer my second question. I already knew the information they wrote from reading the FAQs. I am unsatisfied.

This other version of the genetic map seems to show that Cornwall and Devon are distinguishable but the area that LivingDNA calls Southern England is part of the East and Central England cluster, so it is slightly more distant than Devon. Am I correct? I don't know how LivingDNA is able to...

Right, but why do the region boundaries on the map change to exclude some parts. For instance, in standard mode I have 16.9 NW Scotland, 6.6 Aberdeenshire, 2.3 Ireland. In cautious mode, the NW Scotland Related group doesn't include Aberdeenshire on the map but the percentage from Aberdeenshire...

I believe "cautious" mode is the least rigorous setting on LivingDNA. It is supposed to be the most certain. Whereas "complete" is less certain because the groups are smaller and less distinct.
