  1. I have one Germanic ancestor (from Baden, born in 1840), a 3rd great grandfather. I grew up with a German maiden name. I even took German in College! Then my tests came back and I traced my paper trail… No German 😂 Thanks for this video. My dad, a direct ancestor, had his haplo come back as R-Z253, which is downstream of R-M269 (Irish type 3) and it’s always thrown me off. His results do not say German; he comes back as 1.3 Scandinavian and 1.4 Eastern European (specifically from his paternal side) I guess the haplo could indeed fit? Help me make sense of this 😅
