Those default reports from the genealogy sites only look back may be 400 years. They are good for genealogy, but not for true ancestry. But they also provide raw genetic data, which you can use in other ancestral services to get a more accurate picture. Some calculators look far back up to thousands of years. Basically, they look at ancestral populations before the era of constant mass migrations that started around 400 years ago.

Run your genetic data against those services (most are free) and you might see what percentage of your ancestry originated with the aboriginal Europeans and what percentage was from the neolithic Middle Easterners and the Central Asian steppe nomads. There might even be ancestral South Eurasian in you.

Working from memory but I do recall a small amount in Western Turkey. My guess is some of my Viking ancestors ventured that far but that’s about as much “ethnic” blood in my veins.

As for accuracy, I consider it a fun lark that’s great for party chitchat but that’s about it.

Harmless diversion from the real world angst.
