Found it up in the woods under some leaves.

A big majority of my father’s family is from Tennessee, while my mother’s family is from Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I had a lot more French than I expected. My great grandmother immigrated from Poland around 1915, which explains my percentage.

I’m a guy who was born in Tennessee, but currently live in Ohio with some of my family. My French was pretty surprising, didn’t know too much other than my dad telling me when I was little that some of my ancestors came from French Canada. My Polish percentage was also higher than I expected, but I discovered my great grandmother immigrated from Poland around 1912.

It seems on my ancestry test, my French was merged with my British. I have family members from French Canada so it didn’t make much sense. It seems my Polish stayed about the same. In my opinion, with my results, my 23andme results are more accurate. I am from Ohio.

On my historical matches, I seem to have a decent bit from the St. Brice’s Day Massacre. My first one says I share more DNA with them than 96% of people so that’s something. Just thought it was kinda interesting.

For context, I was born in Ohio but currently live in Tennessee where most of my father’s family is from. I was really surprised by my amount of French, but it makes sense as I have family from French Canada. I also didn’t expect my Polish to be that high.

For me, my 23andme results were more accurate. They properly identified my French better, which makes sense I have more than ancestry says because I have multiple ancestors from French Canada. My Polish seemed to stay about the same. I feel like 23andme also found smaller regions ancestry didn’t.

In my opinion, 23andme did a way better job. Ancestry barely gave me any French, even though I have close ancestors from French Canada. 23andme also got way more specific on my smaller regions. My Polish from my mother stayed about the same.

I forgot to include my generations photo on my last post. Polish was pretty expected, along with French. I’ve recently taken an AncestryDNA test, but they lumped my French in with my British. I also like how specific 23andme was able to get.

My Polish was pretty expected, along with my French. I’ve also taken an AncestryDNA test, but they lumped my French in with British. It makes sense for me to have more French than ancestry said due to having Family from French Canada.

The first 2 images are my 23andme results, and the last 2 are my ancestry results. I was very surprised on the difference between my French percentages.
