RWL Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The DNA reports in the UK seem to give more specific data than what my sister obtained here in the USA. Hers reported 62% Western Europe which is pretty broad. Genealogically we're German with a little Swiss, going back into early 1600s and late 1500s. I didn't feel the report gave her / us much information. I would have been happier if it had specified which countries in Western Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
