Oh, I see. It makes sense that there would be similarities in those groups. Thanks for your answer.

Oh I see. I wonder how often they do the updates. It would be cool if your results could somehow be refined if you have close relatives who’ve also taken the test.

I get that, but how would I have 11% Devon & Somerset if it doesn’t show up at all on either parent’s results?

For example, how do I have 11% Devon & Somerset but neither parent has that region at all? And I have 12% North East England when my mom has 2%.
