I'm adopted too! I'm more interested in your matches. Are you interested in figuring out who your biological parents are? It's fun looking at all the matches. I've got mine all figured out. Good luck!
People take the numbers to literally. Having my mother take the test showed that I was more diverse than previously thought when I took the test first (Ancestry.com). I am more African than my mother. However, my mother had DNA that I did not have which was Irish 8%, Iberian 2%. I had more Finland Russia than my mother 6% vs 2%. So the amount means nothing as stated by an Author For Ancestry who did the test with 3 other siblings and the results varied widely. I did MyHeritage, DNA.land, Wegene, and got similar African DNA but was labeled Iberian, etc on others. DNA.Land is the most precise as they will list every tribe etc.
It still seems maybe a bit informative since the tests have trouble specifically telling Irish from English from Germanic and people tend to get ratios of components from those regions instead all one thing. Irish get the higher B&I, English in between and Germans the least, but if you know nothing at all about your background it can be hard to guess what it means since you don't know if you are likely to mostly be one thing or some mix. Anyway the dots hint that you do have a lot of English rather than it being almost all Irish even though you have a fairly high B&I score and even though you have only a little bit of German which might not necessarily imply any recent German ancestors but often just means shared related ancestry from like 1000 years ago or something, getting a dot for F&G German category does make it more likely that some of the German is real in a somewhat more recent time frame, within the last few generations (either that or a lot of your English ancestors ended up moving to Germany way back, but that is probably less likely in this case).
I helped my mother-in-law find her father's side of her family. She had earlier found her mother's side using ancestry.com DNA and building trees based on the results. She is now friends with cousins and even a couple of aunts. It is an amazing tool.
Sean Kelly: Absolutely not. It has indeed been proven through DNA testing that they do have Middle Eastern ancestry, albeit a bit mixed with European ancestry.
Did you look at your DNA relatives?
Many people in the smaller regions haven't taken the test therefore the data isn't there to get any more specific with matches

Siblings can vary.Tjats normal it's not an error or inaccurate
The British and Irish part of your DNA Before 1921 Ireland was part of the UK
So The irish part would be all Ireland
uploaded your your raw DNA to Myheritage for a second opinion
Part 3

Also there's no hard genetic difference between people of n Ireland and S Ireland. DNA doesn't care about your politics.

Askenazi Jews are actually not Jews but Khazars.They took a Jewish religion in IXth century,they were a Turkish tribe living in the area of Black Sea.
Michal Kowalski DNA has disproven the Khazar myth.
Michał Kowalski Correct. Thanks for the detail. Indeed, askenazi jews should genetically be called Khazars.
Sean Kelly: Absolutely not. It has indeed been proven through DNA testing that they do have Middle Eastern ancestry, albeit a bit mixed with European ancestry.
Furienna ok. Do you have a link ? Or else where it shows that study ?
Why are they called Askenazi Jews ? And not just Ashkenazis or just Khazarians ? Judaïsm is not a genetic marker. It is a religion, a set of beliefs.
Focus is on non relevant things, everbody is from every were, The importent is matchning to relativs.
If life begins in Africa why wouldn't you have some kind of African blood in you unless you are a complete mutant
Out Of Africa theory Is just that...a theory. It's slowly being disproven.
