Anthony S, Since you joined this list only a couple of days ago, you did not see my post from a couple of weeks ago.
On the PF section, under the percentages and your map, there is a FAQ link. Click it. You will see the pitiful references samples that they used. It was the best available about 3 years ago, when they started doing the ethnicity testing. So they put you in what is supposed to be the closest category. If there is no closest category, there has to be a default setting. That's Orcadian. PF is being revised. They have 50 samples from Europe now! They have Portugal and it's working. They are having a problem with Russia and Poland misidentifying each other. And France is gobbling up the other nationalities. Once they get these issues fixed, the new Population Finder will be rolled out. They did not set a date. They want it to be right and much, much better than their old PF. (If it makes you feel any better, my dad, who is 1/2 Portuguese came out 99.9% Western European and they typed him as French. His other 1/2 has no French whatsoever (it's English, Irish, Scottish).
