Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Mam's Welsh back into the 1600s. Ancestry says I'm 55% Irish?

Very interesting about the Iberian DNA being connected to Cornwall - i live in Cornwall and it is really obvious with dark colouring being very common, my future Son-in-Law a classic example (very handsome!). Also some names survive today like Jose. I however am Essex born and bred so it's would be really interesting to find out the Iberian connection. A friend thought it may be mixed in with the Irish because of the Spanish Civil War?
Thank you Spike H for explaining about the Celtic DNA.

I have a similar quandry - I am aware of German/Scottish/Irish Ancestry on Maternal and Paternal lines but i came out as 33% West European, 30% Irish, 8% British, 10% Scandinavian, 14% Iberian and trace West Asia? I am assuming the Scottish part comes under British? Also assuming the German is West Europe? Does DNA go missing and does that explain why i have fair freckly skin/blue eyes and my brother is dark skin/hair/eyes? And no, I am def not the Milkman's! ;)
