Thanks all.

I'm not going to probably come back to the conversation again.  I think I know how to proceed now.

For those who don't understand how/why Ancestry.com excludes France, Spain, Italy, England, Greece, Switzerland from "Europe", it's hard to explain it.  But they kind of show you the boundaries in Europe of where your DNA is from and for my "Western European" DNA, the farthest west is Germany (it's actually on a map and highlighted).  For my "Eastern European" DNA, the farthest east is Poland/Ukraine.  You really need to see the map to understand.

If my DNA had come back as European, I would have got it because it would have included Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, too -- but it specifically excluded those areas for me.  That's what was confusing.

From my experience, I would highly caution against these DNA tests.  I think they are emotional rollercoasters and I do think just the tree would be better.[/quote]

Ancestry.com lists France as part of it's Western European category: https://www.ancestry.com/dna/ethnicity/europe-west.[/quote]
