After considering the research I have done so far I am only certain I am a German, Polish, Irish, and Russian American.
There are websites that specialize in that. One of them asks you to smear some saliva on a little stick, then they'll analyze it and tell you where your ancestors came from.
And then there are others that will simply examine your family tree, looking up public records. Of course the two kinds of research give you two kinds of answers. The one will tell you where your family came from, going back quite a few generations, whereas the other will tell you who your more recent ancestors were and where they lived.
But with a lot of investigation, you can get both. My in-laws have a family tree that goes back to when the Romans abandoned what is now England, leaving it wide open for the Germanic tribes to conquer the original Celtic population. They turned the country into "Angle Land," named after the Angles, one of those German tribes. The in-laws even have the names of many of those ancient ancestors.
"England" and "English" are simply phonetic variations of "Angle Land" and "Anglisc," as the language twisted and turned over the centuries.
I have heard of DNA tests like Ancestry DNA and 23 and Me but I have never used them myself. I would be interested in knowing everything I am. Do you happen to know if those tests are accurate?

I would pile up Polish and Russian into one.

Poland and Russia are both Slavic countries but I do believe they each have their own distinct histories and cultures.

Actually the two cultures are very similar so I guess you could pile the two into one.
If you want to push the issue . German Teutonic knights invaded northern part of poland and some Germanic culture was left in poland and Silesia. Irish are GaulsActually the two cultures are very similar so I guess you could pile the two into one.

I believe some Irish may also have some Norse ancestry because the Vikings settled in Ireland twice during the First and Second Viking Ages.

My research on my last name suggests I may have some English, Dutch, and Jewish ancestry too but I am not certain of it.

Well Jewish is universal, they have been all over the world. You must forget about the IRISH, English German,Russian , Pole, Dutch. The only walid is Jewish , they dropped their semen all over. The name will be adaptable for each country to avoid persecution. Same way religion Jews were forced to accept Christianism to survive , Jews come to America ( 1500 ) with Spanish names to the promised land to avoid persecution as they started into Judaism , they were persecuted again.

So to sum up my ancestry I am an American with German, Polish, Irish, and Russian ancestry.

I just wanted to apologize for repeating myself so many times about my ancestry. I was insecure in not knowing exactly where I come from. I wanted to put my best most accurate self forward.
So in conclusion concerning my ancestry I am an American who has German, Polish, Irish, and Russian ancestry. I do not believe I have any English, Dutch, or Jewish ancestry.
Thank you!
