One aunt had already done it, and while we had parallels, her lineage leaned heavily towards one region, while mine had its emphasis distributed in places geographically different, but similar in the environment.

But one set of grandparents of hers emigrated from Germany in the 1920s, while that’s my great-grandparents. (And I have lovely memories of them from when I was small.) But that generational difference would be all over Northen Europe if it were not for the regional distinctions the test can make, now.

Like I don’t make the mistake of thinking all of Italy is like Sicily, which is an impression from the areas where the US drew the most Italian immigrants.

But the further North we go, the more the environment, cooking, and culture changes into something else. Until we reach the Swiss border.

It’s more precise. Though my aunt and I both love dairy and get along with it That matches both our main regions.
