i'm mostly swedish. my grandmother is finnish, though, and her husband, my grandfather, was sami (for those of you who don't know, the native people of scandinavia and western russia). i also have some distant ancestors in germany, the netherlands and belgium, but that's centuries back.

75% Polish (due to the changing border, technically could be considered other things I guess - when one great-grandma came to the US her ship record claimed that she hailed from Libusza, Austria, though nowadays Libusza is in Poland. But anyway they'd always identified as Polish). Also about 1/8 German and 1/8 I'm-not-sure-but-I-think-English.
The Polish parts (my mom's entire side, and my grandma on my dad's side) are pretty clear, they came directly from Poland/Austria/whatever it was at that point. The ancestry of my grandpa on my dad's side is where it's less clear: I know my grandpa's dad's side is all German, but his mom's side seems to have been in the US since the late 1600s, so it's harder to trace the ancestry with any clarity (sure, there's trees, but no solid documents linking it and different trees say different things).
I did the Ancestry DNA test, and genetically - as in, the actual genes I inherited; even siblings will have slightly different results with this - I'm estimated to be about 59% Eastern European (range it could actually be is 45-70%) (so that includes Poland) and 39% Western European (range 23-55%) (which includes Germany). For "trace regions" - there's a bit of evidence, but small enough it could be a false positive - there's Irish (1%; range 0-6%), European Jewish (less than 1%; range 0-2%), and British (less than 1%; range 0-2%).
