Pennsylvania Deitsch(so the Rhineland part of Germany and some of Switzerland), France(Bretagne, Languedoc, Corsica, some other regions), Spain(Andalusia, Galicia, Asturias), and England. I also have diluted Amerindian and African mixture judging from an ancestral DNA test(called 23andme) that I bought. So chances are I have an Amerindian(probably Taino although Native American from the U.S is possible) and African(probably from somewhere in West-Africa) ancestor or two somewhere down the line.

Where do you find such tests?

Very expensive, but they have regular discounts. Two months ago when I bought mine there was a -$200 discount, which made the complete edition $300. A month ago, on DNA day it was $99 for the complete edition, which usually is $500. You get a ton of information though, and furthermore, if you buy the complete edition you can download your raw snp data and use it in other programs/sites or search for a specific SNP of data that may be related to a phenotypical trait. It isn't only ancestry either, well if you buy the Complete Edition that is, you also get Health Data and Trait studies. For example, I have an elevated risk for Type I Diabetes, which makes sense considering that my Grandmother suffered from diabetes and eventually died from it.
