re: Genealogy DNA Tests: Best Kits?

I did my Ancestry.com one and got:
-34% English
-34% Irish
-17% Scandinavian
My question is what is the timeline for this? I mean the Vikings invaded England (after it was invaded by the modern day French and earlier the Romans) and the English and Irish have been at each others' throats and crotches for millenia; so how is DNA determined to be "English" or "Scandinavian"?
I do think it "proves" my kids can't claim any sort of minority status and I'll be 100% on the hook for reparations...

Shoot, Vikings invaded England, Ireland, France(Normandy), Germany, Denmark, Russia, America. Those dudes spread their seed across many continents and modern countries. You have to read the spiel on how they make whatever determination. There was so much migration in and around Europe from the neo-lithic onward, who knows whether their determination is accurate?
