I wonder how the Origins Report suddenly became a report on ethnicity? The help for the report says this:
"It's nice to know where we came from - where our ancestors were born. Most of us are a mixture of nationalities who have joined together and split apart for centuries. Legacy can gather all the ancestral birth places in your family file and let you know what percentage of each nationality makes up your heritage." Should this preamble be reworded to remove "nationality" since the report is only reporting based on ancestral birth places.
