I've got a significant amount of Western Mediterranean DNA in my European ancestry. I probably get it from both parents. The Western Mediterranean is a higher percentage than most in the British Isles. It is more aligned with a French/German ancestry. (Even though I do not have any French/German/Italian or Spanish ancestry)
