I wonder if some kind soul would like to look at this with me and help me figure out the common thread here in context? What I know: The paper trail of 5/8 of my great grandparents with all coming from Germany (mainly Alsace region), and the British Isles (mostly Scotland), with some Dutch and...

The African is 1.8 percent E. African. I think these numbers may be typical for someone of mixed European ancestry, because those on the forum that are similar ancestral background blends have somewhat similar numbers. Based on my family tree being mainly German/Dutch and British Isles with a...

@ Angela, no offense at all! I do love the paper trail as well. It just grows cold with poor whites and minorities in the 18th and 19th centuries. And one of my ancestors was adopted from a brothel..so..there's that. My DNA test actually gave me some insight on who shares my SSA ancestry and one...

Great explanation, Angela! It's very much how I feel. My unknown will stay unknown. My "Indian" could be anything from that SSA that does repeatedly show up to some other unknown. But almost none show me to be carrying American Indian DNA. But...I have physical characteristics that are common in...

Thank you. i am open to anything. Mom and I both have Mongolian spots that persisted into adulthood and I don't know (not even on paper) about 1/4 of my tree. So anything is possible. It's just that I was born in Appalachia which is a very insular community. But people came and went when there...

But I see members with strong British Isles ancestry as having these ratios. My primary/secondary population percentages seem odd compared to the rest of you guys as well. Any idea what that signifies?

I don't understand how I score so high in the British Isles when more of my ancestry is Dutch and German. And you're mostly British with lower scores than I have?

My attachment didn't work properly the first time but I scored a whopping 90 for both England and Wales, 89 for Ireland and 88 for Scotland. It's funny that I have 0 percent English DNA according to My Heritage Ethnicity Estimates. I guess being a mutt doesn't allow for accurate calculations.

My "hot spots" where I know I have quite a bit of ancestry are true in this calculator. Along the border of France and Germany especially. Most of my Germans came from that area.

I don't think it's surpising.
