My ancestors are what they call the "Germans from Russia"
All my known names are German except for one which is Polish. All my grandparents and great grandparents spoke German.
so I would have expected a very high Central Europe.

What I got from Ancestry


31% eastern Europe,
27% B.I.
22% Scandinavian
13 Finish/Volga-Ural
7% Central Europe.

I ran all of the eurogenes at GED match . The big surprise was that all of them gave me between 25%-10.52% Mediterranean.
This really doesn't match up to Ancestry.

Eurogene 12

South Asia 0.80%
Caucasus 6.96%
S.W.Asia 0.25%
Med. 10.52%
Volga-Ural 15.73%
South Baltic 20.43%
West Europe 18.68%
North Sea 26.62%

Eurogene 9 gave me

South Asia 1.58%
Caucasus 8.02%
East Asian 0.21%
S.W.Asia .83%
Siberia 0.34
Mediterranean 19.06%
Northern Europe 69.51%
Amerindian + arctic.0.48%
