Did you learn anything unexpected by doing a dna test?

[ShieldWolf]

My test didn't reveal any unexpected exotic ancestry, but I did inherit less German autosomal DNA from my ancestors than expected and a northwest German line on my maternal side turned out to be more Scandinavian with deep clade matches in Norway, the British Isles, Switzerland, and northern Italy.

I learned that Im 1/32-1/64 or less "but it is still visibly there in the DNA" - jewish. I didnt know that nor expected it.

How can such low amount be detectable? How much jewish did 23andme give you?

23andme gave me 1.4% ancestry gave me 4% ftdna gave me 4%

Oh well, seriously speaking, I didn´t expect to be R1a being Spanish, and even less Z282.

Apart from the fact that I have a funny maternal haplogroup for my background, nothing really.
But I learned interesting facts about DNA in general and found the whole experience enriching.

I did not know I have Sephardic Jewish great great grandparent to be honest. Confirmed it by matches and 4 tests I done

It strikes me more that you get 7% Basque than less than 3% Jewish from the Middle East
