Update on My Genetic Profile

 I have been following my Ancestry.com account for some years now, noting that as more data becomes available your "DNA Origins" also changes.  A few surprises have resulted.  First of all, it turns out I'm less Irish than I originally thought I was (8%).  I also have a genetic connection to the Welsh (12%), and my Scottish connection has lessened a bit (now 14%; I think it was 17% or even higher earlier).  My largest DNA genetic connection is simply listed as "England and Northwestern Europe" (60%).  I have minimal connections to Denmark and Sweden (3%), Norway (2%), and have a 1% Jewish connection.
