Most of mine were what I thought it would be. For my mother's side, there was a couple of areas of very low percent. Knowing the history of Europe and how boundaries shifted, they made sense and because of the very low percentage, would go far back in my ancestry.

Never investigated.... simply because I don't care much.

I know my "roots" are in Germany, Denmark and England (but going back to the Garden of Eden, LOL). I'm sure all those - going back to Adam and Eve - had names, they all had successes and failures, but ultimately, I can't take any "credit" for their good or "blame" for their bad. I'm thankful to them (or I wouldn't be here) and in a sense, they (like most people on Earth before me) impacted me and the culture in which I live and I acknowledge that impact. But I just don't need to know their names or the details of their specific, unique, individual lives.

But hey, I have NOTHING against those who are interested.

None at all, I never did the test. I'm not sufficiently interested in DNA ancestry to hand over DNA samples to a corporation with no control over what they might do with that information.

I did it but did not "discover" anything really. I discovered more interesting facts about my family past via genealogical research.
