My surname is only a quarter of my ancestry.

---

My surname is French but the majority of my ancestry is Scottish.

---

According to this:
English, German, Danish, Swedish, Jewish, Irish and French
Mostly found in England, Germany and United States

It's not wrong as my last name does originate from Germany. I've only a Uncle I know of that lived over there though.

Hunh, neat.

1 English: occupational name for a gamekeeper employed in a medieval park, from an agent derivative of Middle English parc park ( see Park 1). This surname is also found in Ireland.

mindblowing

---

My last name is a bit unusual so I'm not surprised it was able to pin down the origin.

---

We are not all immigrants. My whole family tree has been from Dutch Germanic tribes and being living in the lands of those tribes for at least 600 years.

Ireland

Mexico, Argentina and USA.

Instead of using my actual last name I used my great great grandfather's instead. Unsurprisingly it traces back to England. Most black people in the West shouldn't bother with this exercise since their original names were changed. I can trace mine because this guy was a plantation owning aristocrat.

---

Old French occupational name, or German variant of another name. I'm pretty sure my earliest ancestors in the US came from Germany.

---

Norway, England. Possibly just the former.

---

It says El Salvador and Mexico, but I know we're from the Philippines.

Same.

Mine says Italy, Mexico, and El Salvador; born in the Philippines.

Which is not totally surprising given that long history of being a spanish colony.


---

It says Japan, Nigeria, or Hungary which is wrong. My ancestors were from India.

---

I never would have guessed that I would have an English last name.

/Sarcasm

Nice try duckbear, secretly uncovering my identity.

... JK no one cares who any of us are. Cappel means church and is German, I already knew this, my family is from an extremely religious group of Germans who fled WWI to America. To this day I don't think anyone in my family would look twice at joining an army.

I'm athiest though, so it's a misnomer.

Ich bin ein berliner. Well, descended from one anyway.

My surname changed twice. Not as in "somebody had a girl who took a husband's name" but like was literally turned from one thing into another on two occasions for different reasons.

Oops... to answer the question: this got it right. It's from Germany. But the weird part is that to a lesser extent it's also in Slovakia...
