That is petty much spot on, invaders settled into the West European countries many hundreds of years ago. Scotland, Ireland, France, UK and Germany. Eventually migrating in to America, Canada and Australia. Jane or Jock could absolutely be of French Canadian origin however the Gedmatch pie charts are so broad and goes back thousands of years its hard to determine. Ancestry has a more definitive breakdown into the specific regions will pinpoint down to the areas that one shares the most DNA with. All thou I look at those regions and ultimately think ... isotope ..lol and we know how well those have worked in the past 50/50 shot.
From various pie charts out there, it seems that German ancestry would be labeled North-Central Europe instead of North Atlantic. So British Isles, Ireland, and Normandy would be more likely for North Atlantic.
