Keep in mind, you only get 50% of your father's and 50% of your mother's genes. You are quite literally only getting half the picture with these results. So, it's possible you are as German as you thought, just that by pure chance you didn't inherit many of your father and/or mother's "German genes". Having other family members do the test, including brothers and sisters (unless they are identical twins), would help give a more clear picture overall.

DT, I've seen "Native American" on some of the sample results I've seen, but I don't know if it goes any deeper than that.
