My DNA was very basic
My DNA was very basic and not very clear. I have seen some on youtube etc that have had a lot more detail. Mine was not worth the money. It says Scottish and Welsh 51%, these are two different countries and it's not precise. It doesn't tell you which side the Irish is on. No it was a waste of time in my opinion.

Dear Lyndsy,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand that you found your DNA results to be basic and lacking the detail you expected, especially when compared to examples you've seen elsewhere. We also understand your desire for more precision regarding specific regions and the maternal or paternal origin of your ethnicities.
MyHeritage DNA provides ethnicity estimates that group populations based on genetic similarities, and while we strive for the highest accuracy, these are estimates and may not always pinpoint exact locations within a larger region or differentiate between parental sides for each ethnicity. Your ethnicity estimate showing "Scottish and Welsh 51%" indicates a genetic connection to a population group that shares ancestry across these areas, rather than differentiating between the two countries with separate percentages. Similarly, for other ethnicities, our current results display overall percentages, not specific parental inheritance.
We are continuously working to improve our DNA analysis and the granularity of our ethnicity estimates. Updates and new features are regularly rolled out to provide more detailed insights.
If you have further questions about your DNA results or would like more clarification on how they are interpreted, please don't hesitate to contact us at **vipcare@myheritage.com**. Kindly include a link to this review for reference when you send us an email.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Chaim
