I agree, especially for Americans. Even though I'm in a relatively homogenous part of the USA, I'm a mix of northern european populations. Mostly Danish, northern German and Norwegian.

It is coincidence between those North European groups, because their results are based on randomly survived IBD-segmens and distandes between ancient samples of low quality. Particularly, if your family is of mixed North European ancestry, your family will get imprecise results.

Yeah, I consider it inaccurate for people of mixed European ancestry. Even my mom had weird results for being fully Irish. Had her closest to Danish Vikings and Danes for modern populations.

They have not proper Irish samples. Another thing is that so called Jutes, despite the fact that they are considered as a Germanic tribe, had Celtic background. We can't straightforwardly equate ancient and modern people.

Highest closeness to an ancient sample I've ever seen.

This is amazing, but more meaningful would be to know two things: sample quality and your distance to it.

How do I do that?

DNA Spotlight
Hrafna-Flóki's Vilgerðarson's Expedition

excerpt:
located in Vatnsdalur (VDP) near Flóki's first settlement Vatnsfjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland and date to this early settlement period. A wealthy Nordic Viking woman (VDP-A5) was buried with her boat and later six more individuals were buried alongside her. The others were typical Icelandic males being part Norse and part Gaelic. The gravesite included a silver Thor's hammer, jewelry, 30 beads, a knife and a near eastern coin dating from as early as 870 AD. The items seen here from this boat burial can be seen in the National Museum in Reykjavik. Not far to the south in Öndverðarnes the last sample shown DKS-A1 was found buried with a sword, a spearhead, a knife, shield-boss, bone-pin and fragments of iron.
