DC Native & Portugal/ Spain History Question
Hello everyone, I have a question for those from the DMV, especially natives of the Washington, DC area. I took my AncestryDNA test for the first time, and the results were what I expected, but I was shocked to see Spanish. I was shocked to even see that pop up in my results because I don't have a direct link to Cerole Heritage or a community sticker saying that I have lineage. When I saw Portugal for the updated results, it threw me off because I knew from the American colonial map that only the English/ Great Britain had full control over the land. So my question is: does anyone know any history of the Portuguese and/or Spaniards in the DC area beyond the first discovery of the United States? Or should I take another DNA test like 23andMe to find better community and ethnicity matches?
I will attach my results in this post. Thank y'all for the help.
