Plus you can’t be 33% of your dad is only 12% Iberian, lol. Your chart is crazy.
Is the French possibly because of the Flemish? Jesse had previously been tagged as more French. All 4 of his own grandparents immigrated to Hawaii from either São Miguel or Madeira, yet he is about 15-20% other. He has shown to be 3-5% Ashkenazi on several estimates with Ancestry and FTDNA.
