So my girlfriend hasn't received her results yet... But I did, even though my sample went out two weeks after hers.
The results put me in maternal haplogroup H7 and paternal haplogroup N-M46 - the latter is said to be quite rare amongst 23andme testees (1:130000).
Unsurprisingly, my heritage is 49% northwestern European (with British/Irish, French/German, and Scandinavian components, along with "broadly northwestern European), and 48.1% eastern European - unsurprising because our family history is said to be British/Welsh on my mother's side, and Lithuanian/Polish on my father's side.
Add to that a smattering of "broadly southern European", "broadly European", Ashkenazi Jewish, and Oceanian. WTF on those last two? It's a tiny contribution but it came out of left field. The report claims that those contributions date back to the 18th century and prior.
