I think that your mother might have between 1% and 4% Native American ancestry (for example in Eurogenes K13 it is 4%). But rather closer to 1% because MDLP World-22 gives 1% and it is probably the most accurate calculator for Amerindian ancestry.

Olá Pedro,
just a few thoughts from a beginner like myself:
- as far as I can tell, my family has been in Portugal since forever (kidding). My second reference group is GB and Ireland; my Y-DNA is most commonly found in Ireland. This agrees with the History books: Celtic presence in the North of Portugal thousands of years ago.
- From what I've read, there are very close genetic similarities between current English and German people: historically, the Anglo-Saxons invaded England. Maybe some of your German ancestors did cross the Strait and that's why your German heritage appears as British Isles.
Hope it helps!
P.S. - Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho de pesquisa feito! Muitas horas de trabalho!
