the problem with these dna cases when it comes to nationality they work from a fairly small pool that self identifies. for example bob has markers 1, 2, 3, 17. and bob says he’s of Irish decent because that’s what mom told him. Then they use bob to identify other irish without knowing he’s really only 25% irish. the problem is they have a fairly small pool for this and they seklf identify . A relative of mine in england got the test back saying he was irish, but the family history that he traced back to the 1600’s had NO irish at all.
