My test says I’m only 6% Scandinavian. But I have 630+ matches from Finland and Sweden (mostly Finnish surnames) on MyHeritage. How is this possible?

Finland is my number 2 nation for matches (400+) after the UK (1,000+). I’m also a quarter German so those matches make sense (350+), so it’s odd that Finland would be near the top of the list.

Honestly I’m just fascinated to discover this previously unknown part of my ancestry. With that many matches, you would think I would have more than 6% Scandinavian.

How do you guys interpret this?
