DNA test

Our kids gave me the gift of an Ancestry DNA test for Mothers Day.   It's very simple - you just spit in a tiny test tube and send it in.  Then you wait for about 6 weeks, and your results are e-mailed to you.
I have relatives who are very interested in genealogy who have traced my family, both on my Dad and my Moms side so I had an idea of what they would find, but I was kind of hoping for a little surprise of some sort.  They say most everyone has maybe 1% African American, or maybe American Indian or even a little Jewish blood.  That being said, from what I knew, most of my ancestors were from the Netherlands, with just a few from England and Germany.
Last week my results came back.

Here is my map:
48% Great Britain
28% West Europe
25% Scandinavia
1% Finland
That is the report from thousands of years back.  They say the Scandinavian part is because of the Vikings who conquered Europe and Britain, then people migrated from there.  Those areas are represented by the larger circles.
The smaller section that is orange is where my ancestors were hundreds of years ago.  Guess where they were?  You got it - the Netherlands!
The report also gives you links to others who have done the testing who you are related to.  I got 50 matches, 2 are second cousins, 4 are third cousins and the rest of 4th cousins.  There is a link that you can send them a message.  When you send your sample in you can choose if you want to be part of this, so if you choose not to, others would not receive your link.
I didn't get any surprises, except for the Scandinavian link from way back.  It's very interesting though!
