Guess my ethnicity according to 23 & me and Ancestry.com

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases: I jumped the band wagon and took one of those DNA test, not one but two. Let's have fun. Guess my ethnicity. I think it is fun to guess other people's ethnicity.  I'm obviously European but from what part? Guess what kind of breakdown of regions. I'll post my ancestry test in a few days and let you all guess. Growing up I was told German, German, German. My Great Grandma's parents were from Germany and everyone else as far back as I know we're American.  I'll put some pictures of me below so you can guess.


 Ok so this is what some people have guessed. 
  • Syria (according to one test maybe .1 %
  • Japan ( nope, although 23&me used to say 1% East Asian and Native American)
  • South African (no only . 2 Subsaharan African. 
  • Scandinavian (yes 1-4 % Swedish)
  • Irish (yes! 12% according to ancestry.) 
  • Cherokee Indian ( .2 % Native American which is cool but I'd like more)
So what am I? A Brit, British. Not supposed but I didn't expect it because I was told I was German. Here's my test results:
 99.6 European. Big surprise! 98% Northwest European. Which it looks like these regions all share DNA. See below.
I like this part. I'm very cultured. My grandpa told me Native American. Only .2% but from where. It's such a tiny percentage. Some people don't count these percentages, but it's in your DNA. It's so small is it really there. 
.2% Subsaharan African. 



 Region breakdowns. Cool! I'm pretty much from London, the UK and part of Ireland.
Breakdown of where my ancestors are from and time range. Even cooler. 
 This is ancestry.com. more than half of my DNA is from England/Wales. My family is very American and have been here for 200-300 years. My maiden name is Miller.  Then German. My great great grandparents, we're from Germany. Then Ireland. My great great grandpa (Jemison) immigrated from Ireland. Then Sweden. No idea where or from whom I inherited this from. Then Eastern Europe. Maybe Polish because my Aunt's DNA test says Poland. Then France my 3rd great grandparents we're from France and also Italy.
 Communities. I guess this is spot on my parents and ancestors are definitely from the Midwest generations back.
Ancestry says that I am native to England ok I'll take it. Makes sense I'm an englishman. The English immigrated here years ago to escape the English government. Kings and Queens. Do I have royal blood? Maybe one day I'll find out, if I have the money to renew my ancestry membership. 
 Above is my heritage. Says I'm mostly Irish, Scottish, Welsh. It's different.
 There's that Siberian that someone predicted.
 This is my orgins. Mostly west and central Europe.
This is DNA. Northwest European again.
Which DNA test do I recommend? I like both 23& me and ancestry.com, but I think I pick 23&me because it has my haplogroup, more breakdown of regions, health reports, research, and I found my adopted cousin through 23 and me. 
Was I surprised? I recommend DNA tests if you have the money it is fun and educational to me. I thought I was German. I guess I'm English but if you look at the reports all these regions share DNA and I also read that Germany and England share 30% DNA. I don't know if this is true or nor do I have time to research. I think it is cool to have Native American and African. Even if the percentages are minute. I didn't have Native American on my ancestry.com test, but my Uncle did. You can also upload your DNA to other sites like GED.com, and other sites. Just endless discoveries and education. Oh how far along we have advanced scientifically. My husband's Mom is from Germany so he is 70% German and my girls are 50%. America is the melting pot. I have more diversity than my husband because his family immigrated sooner than my family. I think when you're family has been in the United States longer there's a chance for more diversity, but I don't know. Until next time. I'm going to be late for work.
