My DNA Results
I had
Ancestory.com test my DNA in May
2018 and April 2019 both dates look at the same DNA but the later one uses the
revised and expanded data base of results from mother people.
The quick summary is as follows:
The My Heritage results are based on the Ancestry test.
I did a Y-DNA test through
FamlyTreeDNA (On 5/27/20) to
trace my paternal ancestry and found out I am not a descendent of any
Frisinger at all but rather from William Bell 1685-1757 who immigrated to
Virginia from Northern Ireland. Either he or his parents were born in
Scotland.
This makes these results much more logical. Click

that test.

The April 2019 data also mentioned Additional Communities
New England Settlers: Massachusetts, Vermont & New Hampshire Settlers
Pennsylvania Settlers Pocono & North Jersey Settlers.
The categories have moved around so it is hard to pick out the changes but you can see that the results are broadly similar.
It is also interesting to note that 68% are from non-English speaking countries in the 2018 results. I wonder what the average is for Americans. My guess is most of us are less than 50% English Speaking.
I also had the same data analyzed by MyHeratage in 2019 and the results were similar.
This map is based on DNA day from Ancestry 2019 and shows where my ancestors were in 1750 to 1775. The New England ancestors were mostly from my mother's side and the Pennsylvania ones were my father's.
