It is interesting though when my sister did it, we didn't get any surprises, she came back mostly Czech, a little German. We knew 3 of our grandparents were Czech & one German, though we did find my German grandfather had ties to a German community in the U.S. Midwest, which we didn't know. Nearly all of my Czech ancestors immigrated to the U.S. fairly recently by ancestry standards, around 1900 and my paternal grandfather in the 1940s, after WWII. We don't know my husband's ancestry but think it is likely English.
