A bit of a warning here. When analyzing the genome of a person like me, it helps to realize that this is not the genetic analysis of a single person but the combination of everyone I’m related to for several hundred years. Everyone..even the ones I don’t know about.

23 and me provides some of this. My Y is R1b-U106 which we’ve discussed at length here. My MTDNA (super ancient all-mother stuff) is T2a. Wide spread in the old world but not very prolific. It appears to offer some protection against alzheimer’s but comes with a downgrade in fertility.

They also provide some broad generalizations. Like the major category of your ancestry:

 

Northern European. Okay that’s probably what anyone could expect.

They also have an Ancestry finder, which is based on the responses of other people to a general ancestry survey. These results represent the people who are related to me who have all four grandparents from the same country. I made the amount of DNA necessary smaller to get the most results.
