If I am 38 percent German is that a lot?
Well I took a dna test and it says I am 38 percent German. I don’t know where that came from, maybe my dads side. Is that a lot or no?

Despite my having an ancient English last name, 3 of 4 of my grandparents had German last names and their ancestors came from Germany. Not sure how many of my father's father's father had Germans in his line. Can trace it back 9 generations into 16th Century English countryside so far, seems mostly English but I guess some Germans are in that line also. I might be over 75% German.
So your 38 percent (about 3/8ths) shows 3 of your 8 great grandparents were of German lineage.
