Hmmm...interesting, my Dad's DNA results came back with: Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Ulster, Great Britain (isn't Great Britain also Wales, Scotland and Ireland?), Iberian Pensulia (basically Spain), Jewish, Scandinavian, Western Europe (basically France and Belgium and Germany), and the Middle East.

I'm still waiting for mine.

Great Britain is the island of England, Scotland and Wales. Isle of Ulster? Ulster is the geographic region that is roughly equivalent to political Northern Ireland. Did they say Isle of Man?

No, my mother told me it was 48% Scotland, Wales and Ireland, then 4% Great Britain, then Isle of Ulster, which she thought was an island off of Ireland (and I was thinking isn't that Ireland)....

ME: Wait, isn't Great Britain - Scotland, Wales, and England?
Mom: Look, I'm just telling you what the summary states.

I haven't looked at it myself -- my mother read it to me. I found it odd. It's like it identifies certain countries or regions, then afterwards lumps them into a general category. I'm wondering if that's the strand of DNA at the lab -- some is labeled specifically by country and some by region?
