I think you guys maybe slightly misunderstanding how genetics works. You may for example have 50% British DNA but that does not mean 50% of your DNA is actually from Britain. The test shows that you share 50% of your DNA markers with people living in Brirtain today but Britain has had inward geneflow from the Vikings and the Saxons within the last 2,000 years and thus there is a significant Germanic and Scandinavian admixture in the British DNA profile. This is what probably accounts for the differences in British, German and Scandinavian percentages amongst family members.

North Americans have more fun with these tests, so much variation. European ancestry DNA results are more predictable, my test result was 98% Finnish... ;)

Umm, don't they teach geography and history in the US? The sheer ignorance of what seem to be otherwise intelligent people is astounding. And it's a similar issue in most DNA results videos from the US that I have watched. Just incredible.

Don't be too surprised. Actually your father got Iberian (Spain) and your sister Italian. Both groups are very close. I am from South America and considered white. From MyHeritage I got 60% European, 34% Central American and 6% others. Actually, I uploaded the results onto GedMatch which is free, but somewhat of a public DNA Genealogy research site. There, you can do all kinds of tests on your DNA results which are fascinating. Using the Eurogenes kit 13 I got a higher European of 73.6 % and lower Amerindian 21.5% and others 5%. The nice feature of GedMatch is that you can do a lot of research and they also predict eye color, but remember it is open source so not too sure how confidential it is.

I am sure that you did not know how to indicate iberia on a map, and what countries formed the old iberia. And most Americans do not know that most of the USA was Spanish territory, normal for Americans to have blood from iberia or from Spain.

People should study basic geography before they look at the results of these tests. North & west Europe would include Germany.

Upload your results for FREE to gedmatch, dnaland and wegene to get more information. Remember people migrated and traveled in the past. So, keep that in mind when thinking about how groups met up and mated.

No clue how the Iberian got to an American, are you guys from the west of the US, because that was occupied by Spain for several centuries.

With your father having DNA from the Iberian peninsula this is likely where much of your Ashkenazi and Sephardi jewish ancestry comes from. There was a very large population of jewish people's living in and around the Spanish/Portuguese Peninsula. Then in the late 1300s through the beginning of the 1500s Jews were persecuted during the Spanish Inquisition by orders of the very Catholic Monarchs. Many Jews opted to embrace Catholicism to not be persecuted or exiled (some still practiced Judaism in secret). Many left to Northern Africa such as Morocco, other regions of Europe such as Italy, France, England, Germany, etc. Jewish life started returning to the Iberian peninsula around 1858 onwards. So it is likely your German ancestors were Jewish people who long ago fled persecution and/or converted to christianity, and through the years married non-jewish people's. Hope that gives a little possible historical background on your DNA results, if you watch other videos of people on youtube many are surprised to see the Ashkenazi jewish pop up, but it isn't all that surprising due to historical events in Europe.

One more thing, apparently in Germany it is illegal to do DNA testing. It is outlawed for historical reasons. So, that may be why there is no German results. I think the population size in these tests that the commercial Genealogy sites are using is relatively small. I just signed up for the National Geographic Geno 2.0 test which is actually scientific and will contribute to the research. So far the different Admixture Utilities I have tried on Gedmatch are consistent. The geno groups don't vary much, only the percentages. I still get the same ones. Slavic, Southern Europe, Northern Africa and Amerindian :-)
