Mystery Kentucky matches ?

Hi everyone !

I finally got my full results and I got this group match which I do NOT understand. I have no known family in the US. What could this mean ?

Thanks in avance !

I don’t even know what I expected

Not sure if my heritage is a good ancestry website or not since this was just done very last minute but I think my results are pretty cool!

I really didn’t expect Egyptian since I heard my grandmother was from Yemen and all my family on my dad’s side lives in Israel.

I kind of want to feel more connected to a part of my race but I don’t know if it would be appropriate because of how little I am of everything, I’m like a mutt lol!

Inaccurate results ?

I just got back my ethnicity estimate preview (i have no idea when i'll get the full one, anyday soon, I guess).

Anyway, my results seem weird in some ways. I have a high % of british DNA (14.4%) and my "other ethnicities" map preview shows Britany and Scotland, and I feel like it's oddly specific.

Could these things be mistakes ? I'm from Northern France and my family tree shows I have no ancestor from the British Isles, all from northern France/Flanders on that side of the family (the rest is Italian/Greek, that much I was aware of, and the % is consistent).

So, what am i looking at, here ? Could there be mistakes, or do I have an affair baby ancestor somewhere up the family tree ?

So I was recently gifted a DNA test to find out my ethnicity as I have had suspicions for some time that I am not half British half Chinese but in-fact fully Chinese or some sort of Asian. My mother is Chinese and my supposed father is British but he passed in 2018, so I wanted to do a DNA test to see a rough gauge of what my ethnicity may be to see if I had good reason for these doubts. I just received the results today and they showed me as being 97% Chinese and 3% south East Asian. However all my DNA matches appear to be from Europe? I doubt the test could be this inaccurate but any advice would be appreciated as I don’t want to confront my mother unless I am more than 90% sure that he was not my father. I can’t attach photos here but I’ll try and add them in the comments if that’s possible!
