Of my three most recent immigrant ancestors (all great-great-great grandparents), two were from Germany, one was Swiss. Ancestry shows very little German ancestry for me at all, it comes up 77% British Isles. I know a lot of my ancestors were of British origin, but there are Dutch, French and other Germans besides the ones I mentioned.
