Genographic 2.0

I did the National Geographic's second part of their Genographic Project.  I took the original test about 2008 and transferred the results to Family Tree DNA.  I recently took the second phase in August 2012 and I received the results late December - early January 2013.  According to the results I'm 42% Northern European, 39 % Mediterranean and 17% southwest Asian.  When I saw in my family tree that my paternal 11th great grandfather came from Perigueux, France, the genetic evidence my suggest that although, I would like to verify it with paper records if possible.
