My one surprise is that there seems to be no Dutch in my ancestry. I knew from historical records that my ancestors were predominantly early American colonists, but my grandmother’s side were all Dutch colonists——Schenectady NY. Our family name was Heemstra.

I’m wondering if the Scandinavian is indicative of Dutch colonists? Especially because the highlighted region os Jutland (Denmark). I was not expecting Scandinavian at all.
