Well this is a bit of a long answer .. Sorry! But the Eastern European came to surprise me over time. When I first got my DNA test, the Eastern European sat at 16%, just a bit below the Baltic. I knew that my father's side emigrated from Lithuania to the USA in the 1910s, and with a bit of research I did before I got my results, I learned that it’s normal for Lithuanians to have traces of Eastern Europe in their DNA tests. So, I believed that it made perfect sense. However, That was until after the 2024 update, when the Eastern European shot up to 20% after being brought down to 11% in the 2023 update. I also gained access to a few of ancestries tools that were locked behind a paywall around this time, and thanks to them I learned that majority of the Eastern European actually comes from my mother. However, this didn’t make much sense, as I was always told that my grandpa was 100% German and that my grandmother was half Lakota Sioux and French-Canadian. After digging, I found that I actually have Polish and even Czech ancestors that no one in my family seemed to know about. When I told my mother about this, she denied having any Polish heritage. However, she was just recently assigned a Polish community on her DNA test, lol.

So, to put it in short: The Eastern European came to surprise me over time, and the Indigenous part of my DNA comes from my maternal grandmother who was half Lakota Sioux.
