My Ancestry DNA results updated and my Welsh numbers jumped. So yes, I did add Welsh to my Duolingo account. 😎

@stevebrady How do these numbers update? Did they find a previously unknown ancestor?
@stevebrady its a beautiful language. I make chairs, and I follow several Welsh chairmakers on Instagram, and I’m always happy when they post in Welsh even though I have no idea what they’re saying.
@pratik I think the more people who take the DNA test in a given area the more accurate the numbers get.
@stevebrady Interesting. So it is as accurate as the people that have chosen to take the DNA test. I haven't given my data to Ancestry due to privacy concerns. I wonder how many people like me or simply those who can't afford to or don't care for it are out there.
@pratik Probably a lot. I don't assume it is super accurate, but it does confirm some of what I know of my family tree.
As for privacy, I know I'm in the minority on MB but I sort of feel like that bell can't be unrung at this point.
