Wouldn't results like this suggest the two are connected?

Yes, that is more based on particular individuals and may show much more variations per person. The Genographic Project is greater, because it shows the overall genetic affinity of populations, that's where the difference lies. For example for France it shows the overall French DNA not just Northern French or Provençal or Breton, etc... and links it directly to biogeographic regions of the world to which they show affinity to. Eurogenes, I guess goes into more details which is irrelevant when comparing entire countries. The reason why you are genetically close to the North Dutch, is because the Dutch as a whole are the closest population in Europe to the British and Irish as shown by the National Geographic Genographic Project 2.0 Next Generation.
