Frisians

Is there a difference between the Ostfrisians and Frisians? I have a lot of Ostfrisian, Danish and Schleswig Holstein ancestry.

When it comes to the "Proto-Germanic" source, Swedes and Norwegians are closer to it, therefor they have more of it than all other germanic countries. Danes have stronger Paleo-European influences, which will be labeled also as "germanic" even though its technically just germanized population, so its an easier choice as they have less Baltic, Saami etc. influences.
I wonder why Dutch are not on the list, they are propably 4th, if we go by countries as a whole. I think North Germans are very germanic, regions like Ostfriesland will be more germanic than Denmark as a whole.

Frisians are almost identical to Danes, northwest Germans, south Swedes and south Norwegians genetically. They all cluster with each other.

English of Saxon stock

Nope, simply false. Even in SE England Anglo-Saxon input is less than 50% if I remember well.
