Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

My son got me one of those Ancestry dna kits last Christmas so I’m going off that but the only Irish person I can find is my 3rd great grandmother born in Derry in 1811.

Are those kits really accurate? I’m often curious about them although I do know quite a bit about my own heritage- Irish for generations but Viking blood way back.

I don’t know to be honest but mine says mostly northern England - Lancashire, Cheshire and Merseyside with a chunk of Swedish and Icelandic and a bit of Irish. Not found anyone remotely Swedish or Icelandic but the rest fits. As more people go onto their database it gives them the opportunity to refine it - so I’ve lost Norwegian and gained Icelandic!

Mine says Evertonian…make of that what you will…….
