Interesting. I'm trying to determine my ancestry. Specifically whether it's Anglo-Canadian or French-Canadian at this point. My percentage of French and German is about 16%, otherwise my results look typically Anglo

A full Englishman from East Anglia:

100% European: 94% NW European. 3% Southern European. 3% Broadly European.

Broken down to:

32% British & Irish

27% French & German
7% Scandinavian

29% Broadly NW European

2% Broadly Southern European (including 0.5% Iberian)

A full Englishman from East Anglia:

That's much higher French and German (and lower British and Irish) than even I have

"British and Irish" is represented by the Irish, so for English this is their Celtic ancestry.

My friend who is half English, 1/4 Welsh, 1/4 Irish got 72% British and Irish.
