Ancestry dna tests rely upon self reported locations which are paired to DNA results in the company’s database.

Person A said their grandparents came from Location A. Person B said their grandparents came from Location B. If your DNA mix has more DNA markers that match Location B in the company’s database, they say you came from Location B with a higher percentage.

The location percentage is in no way scientific, just entertainment.
