    DNA-tests don't find your longdeceased ancestors. they find people with bundles of DNA (you have 47 of those) almost identical to yours - your (distant) cousins.

    The Antarctic ones are kept secret. Neuschwabbenland isn't officially acknowledged.

    There have been 10 people born in or very close to Antarctica, according to this Wikipedia article:

    So, while it is physically possible, it would be highly improbable.

    Unless there has been extreme miscegenation with penguins in Antarctica, no.

    Since Antarctica is a continent, that would not be possible unless your ancestors included penguins.
