Fathers Side
White Southerner with mostly English, but also some Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and Portuguese ancestry. It might be that he’s not actually native English since around one-third to one-half of the last names on his tree are Norman French in origin.
Mothers Side
My mother’s father is half French Canadian, one-fourth Irish, and one-fourth English (could be original Norman, I don’t know). Mother’s mother is half-Polish, three-sixteenth Irish, one-sixteenth English (might be originally Norman), one-sixteenth Ulster Scots (might be originally Norman), and one thirty-second French Canadian.
That’s my known ancestry on paper.

Honestly, I find this inaccurate. There’s no way I can be that Germanic, plus I don’t know how I could get these populations.

I don’t know how to get a good fit, but I think it’s inaccurate considering I don’t have any known Norwegian, Slovakian, or Spanish ancestry. As for the ancient, I was more looking for Germanic, Celtic, etc.
Questions
1. Is there any test, model, or tool that can fairly accurately explain my recent ancestry? Most of these don’t seem accurate, at least for me
2. Is there any test, model, or tool that can fairly accurately guess what % of my genome is Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, etc.?
3. What should I consider myself genetically, both recent and ancient?
