I did the same and got a story about soda bread in Ireland after they took most of my Irish away. Very odd.

It does appear to be LCD. The one I clicked on had a comic witch with an enormous wart on her nose. It doesn't seem aimed at the serious researcher.

My husband has stolen my Scottish and gained more German. He lost some of his Danish. I don’t know enough about European history to argue that, but there is no way he has 30% Scottish and I have 6%. I have proof of my lot back centuries. He has some but not as much.
