OP - Do you have any corroborating evidence that the DNA tests were accurate? Did any of your other siblings have similar results or did you also do other DNA testing that confirmed through the other main company (23 & Me plus ancestry.com)

I am skeptical that your 99% Ashkenazi Jewish descent results are accurate given that neither side of your family claims any Jewish connections.

I would definitely want this result corroborated by siblings or the other DNA testing company

However, if it is accurate you may wish to get tested for carrying genes that greatly increase your risk for developing certain types of cancer. People of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, are known to have a higher risk of certain cancers due to genetic mutations, particularly in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which significantly increase the likelihood of developing breast, ovarian, and sometimes prostate cancer. This  is linked to their unique genetic history stemming from a relatively isolated population in Eastern Europe.
