Ancestry Composition to be fixed

From the explanation at the relevant thread:

As I mentioned before, they should also fix other issues. Currently, they combine France and Germany. That's about the same if not worse than combining Denmark and Hungary. Conversely, they are combining Hungary and Poland - which is not that different from combining Austria and the Ukraine...

Also, for many countries it would pay to divide them into 4-5 regions (NE, NW, SW, SE, central).

I look forward to the new results, since my first results could not be explained by my known ancestry. For example, my great-grandmother is from Finland, which shows up clearly enough in the results. But Scandinavian also shows up, even in the "conservative" interpretation, and there is no one in my family tree known to be from there. In the more speculative interpretation, Scandinavian is as prominent as Finn. So maybe there was Swedish admixture in my Finnish great grandmother. Maybe she is an "outlier" within the Finn population and this will clarify.

I show up as .2 Finnish on the speculative sub-regional estimate. I'm pretty sure that these are really Lithuanian or Belarusian genes.

Major glitches seem to accompany the recalculations. My mother-in-law has now become more than half Sub-Saharan (she had 0% initially, which is correct for her), while my wife has none whatsoever.

I see that my mother's slight Native American ancestry has returned again.
