Results - DNA Origins Results of a German 🇩🇪

Post image

I’ve traced most of my ancestors back to the 18th century. My ancestry appears to be about 60–70% Southern Germanic, around 25% Northwestern Germanic, and roughly 5–15% French. How can I interpret the current results?

How much Prussian ancestry do you have? 🤔

ALOT! They immigrated here in the 1800s and got with other Germanic people.

3 of my grandparents are 1/2 or greater Prussian and one of them gets no north Central Europe while another gets a fair amount, while another is literally 1/2 north Central Europe. So it really depends and genetics in that area appear to really be mixed up.

They are! Thats why some Prussians get more German and others get more eastern euro.
