The category is actually Irish/Brit...they also have Scotish/Brit (she registered there for about 8% or so) and just Brit. Yes, there is a lot of comingling so without a true ancestry liniage report it's impossible to know 100%. I've been able to trace back my paternal grandmothers family (with birth records..mothers and fathers of mothers and fathers..) in Ireland several hundreds of years which is how I know I'm at least 25%.

We'll never know my wifes ancestry. She was adopted back when all records were paper and the facility where the records were stored burned down in the early 80's, totalling destroying all records.
