The first of my DNA tests are done. Oddly, I didn't get an email and it's not showing matches so it must still be processing but there is a map that according to their FAQ gives me a rough combination of 50% from each parent. How not a shock that I'm 100% European lol

One thing that I am surprised about is that the percentage of British Isles is so low since most of my work on fleshing out Dad's side shows that most of the ancestors go back to the UK. I'm interested in the 7% Sothern Europe and WOW at 26% Scandinavian with another 5% in Finland and Northern SIberia?

Hopefully ancestry.com comes through with their testing so I can compare the two.

Did all your British ancestors come from either the north or the east?

When I zoom in to the map, it looks definitely more north

Northern Britain is likely to get you a higher Scandinavian makeup cause of the Viking control of the north of Britain before the 10th century, whereas obviously the "English" is also really not native, so being "English" genetically gives you western and central continental Europe DNA not British.
