GPS origins results: When a grandparent originated from 2 countries

The test works best for individuals that have each parent originating from a single country and father and/or mother are not of mixed origin. If any of your parents originated from 2 countries (meaning that they had one parent from one country and another parent from another country), the GPS Origins™ test will take a midway point for their ancestral migration path. This means that if, for example, your father is half Greek and half English the test would trace the middle migration path which in this particular example would be Hungary.
