Any Suprises on Ethnicity Results? Post Here and Discuss! (German, native, family tree)

Polish, English, German for me which I expected.


Only small surprises are 2% Italian, and 1.2% Spain/Portugal, .2% Scandinavian (thought maybe more?) and .1% Sub-Saharan African (interesting)...maybe all of these are just "background noise" though?


Absolutely no "Native American" or other "exotic" stuff for me other than the above.



Pretty amazing how accurate these tests are getting!

I'm the exact opposite; no surprises.

My family didn't lie to me or make up heroic stories about having "exotic" heritages. I'm half English/Irish and half Northern European (Mostly Swedish and then Norwegian, Denmark, Finland, etc). Plus 8% French/German lol.

There was .1% Native American which is insignificant noise.

As luck would have it I started tracing out my paternal line on Ancestry.com and have had a lot of success tracing it back to late 1300's England. So the family tree matches with the DNA almost spot on.

I got the health DNA add-on and that portion was weirdly accurate as well. My results also had counties where my ancestors likely were from and those match scarily close to the family tree as well.
