LOL! Nah, I’m a female version of my dad, so not likely. I know for an absolute fact that my mom’s side is as Greek as its possible to get, and my dad’s side proudly British for generations. Those two countries didn’t even show up in the testing. From what I understand, they can’t actually tell your ancestral background from DNA, they juat use algorithyms based on genome tyoes of other submissions. They missed me completely...big waste of moolah.

I noted your comment on the use of algorithms. I had to some hasty checking. This seems to be a general application of what one's ancestry is likely to be. This, if one gives information as to one's general background.

It stuck in my mind when I saw someone elses DNA readout by Ancestry.com. The only one I have seen, gave their British Isles ancestry as exactly 58%. The same as mine. I look forward to trying to find out if others with my background are given 58% British, 22% West Europe. If these figures are used consistently, then it is a bit deflating.
