I have a close 'acquaintance' shall we say who recently did a DNA test with MyHeritage (which I know is pretty iffy). However, the results he got back were not too 'iffy'. He lives in England, but his mother is almost entirely Welsh (with a small amount of English) ancestry, whilst his father is of mostly English ancestry (but he is also around 1/3rd Scottish, with the remainder of his ancestry being distant amounts of Irish and Welsh). My friend is approximately
48.4375% Welsh
35.9375% English
14.0625% Scottish
1.5625% Irish
He put his results into Gedmatch and was a tad confused, and in fairness, I still can't quite get my head around some of the results.
These are his K13 results. He is under the impression that he has an eerily high amount of 'East Med'. They do seem a bit 'iffy' in some ways. Almost as if he has some ancestry he doesn't know about? Fun-fact, his father also took a DNA test, and although he had a smaller amount of 'North_Atlantic' he also had a bigger distance between himself and 'SE England'.

In this context does that 'Southeast_England' cluster refer to pre-Germanic times? If so that could make sense?
