Mine came out Irish, Italian, and Spanish (Iberian Peninsula?), along with a smattering of Swedish (2-3%) and other little chunks of DNA. 2-3 percent Arab, which I suppose makes me slightly crazy. Weirdly, the Spanish DNA was only 12 percent, even though I have a Spanish surname, and we all thought we were just European Spanish because the family is from Monterrey, Mexico, and of all the blondies and red heads in the family. It turns out we’re more Italian and Irish than Spanish.

Those Celts got around. (Wikipedia):
