French from Alsace with Polish/Ukrainian roots

The population from Alsace severely suffered from the 30 years war (1618-1648) and once the region taken by the French, it had been offered that catholic Swiss people could populate the empty spaces. I know all my Alsacian branches of the genealogy tree and nearly all point to Switzerland.

So from a genetic mix, it’s logical that the genes are the South German/Swiss ones.

Added some Polish (Prussia) and West Ukrainian (Galicia) that I already knew in my tree, and a complete surprise with some Scottish/Irish genes.

Finally I’m a French guy with no “French genes”
