I Received My Ancestry.com DNA Results

My Grandmother bought me the Ancestry.com DNA test for Christmas, I sent the test out months ago. I finally got the test back. I was curious as to exactly what my ethnicity breakdown is. I was wondering if there could be anything I'm not expecting to see in there. As far as I knew I had Italian (Southern Italian/Sicilian), some German, some French on my moms side and Italian (Sicilian), French, Polish, Irish, Scottish, and English (relative came over on the mayflower) on my Dads side.

So the end result was

46% Italy/Greece
36% Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales)
10% Eastern Europe (Poland from my Father's side)
1% Iberian Peninsula
1% Northern Russia or Finland
5% Caucasus (Iran, Armenia, Syria)
Under 1% Ireland
Under 1% Middle East (Iraq)

So in the end I'm 95% European and 100% Caucasian. The thing that really threw me off is my moms grandfather on her fathers side was supposed to be half German and half French, we even have family buried in German cemeteries and I am not German or French at all according to the test. So my great Grandfathers German and French relatives most have came from somewhere else.

Also I'm not Irish apparently when I thought I would be somewhere in the 12% range, so I ended up finding out that my relatives with Irish last name came her from Glasgow as it says on their immigration papers, and my other Irish ancestor was Scotch Irish which are Irish people of Scottish ancestry. So no Irish blood just Scottish which I thought I was only a little of.

The 5% Arabic blood is no surprise its gotta be from the Islamic invasion of Sicily and Southern Italy. But in the end I'm basically half Italian and half British. I believe this test goes back 500 or 1000 years I've heard both. I thought I would post this because I thought it was pretty cool, and I made a thread months ago about the test asking questions and some people told me to let them know how it goes.

Yes it got my 10% Polish that I knew was gonna be there, it got the 1% Iberian (Spanish) that my grandma said I'd have (she said exactly 1%), and it got my large amount of Italian ancestry. Its legit.

Yeah I think it costs like 100$, its a good felling to know exactly what you are. No more wondering if there might be anything unexpected.

No Ancestry.com's test does not, it specifies that on the website that it is more recent ancestry then the tests that go back thousands of years because its more important to know where your family has lived in more recent times. Most research I have come up with says it goes back 500 years.

I believe they claimed Northern Irish, but their immigration papers state the came from Scotland. But yeah no Irish blood so they must have come from somewhere in Britain originally whether it be Scotland, England, or Wales.

Haha yep, people on here were trying to tell me that as a Sicilian I'd have like at least 5% black ancestry, I knew they were wrong and the test proved it.

Interesting..Been keen to do this for a while. Do they only test one side of the family? and to get the other side will cost the same price again?
