Your DNA

I am waiting for my DNA results to arrive, still have 3 weeks to wait. I am quite excited, maybe I will have some exotic heritage.:D Has anyone on the forum had their DNA tested, how did you react to what you were finding?

85% Scandinavian Expected, but still excited. I’m visiting Sweden May, 2023. No big delve into ancestry, just want to be and walk where my Grandparents walked.
 
MY DNA results are back, my heritage is 73% Scotland, 19% Irish and 1% Welsh. It's no wonder all things Scottish gives me the tingles.:D
I am directly linked, so far, to 690 families overseas, I am following up on them, so far a first cousin has come forward, I had no knowledge of her. She is over the moon , so we are exchanging photos and family info.
 

I'm probably 80% French/European and 10% Native American. It's well documented that my French ancestors marriage Indians. I'd get the DNA test, but I worried about giving up some future right my yet unborn relatives might have. Do you think that's too weird?
 
I don't know the percentage numbers exactly. Nevertheless, it means a variety of roots into Celtic and Wicca heritage, native Indians, French, English, Netherlands and more. Hey, I maybe a mixed bag, but at the end of the day, we're all blended, one way or another.

I'm very proud of my roots...and have shades of darker beige than most just as my Papa's side of the family.

Some people have discovered their ancestry by pure accident. In some nown and sometimes unknown ways. A couple I knew in the 80s were both in the white category, but gave birth to a child completely black. In their ancestry , they discovered African ancestors during the slavery era.

We're a race who loves to move around the Earth and find love wherever we find it. We've got multitude of cultural heritage and languages.

At the end of the day, we should be able to cohabit anywhere on this blue planet of ours in peace and harmony.

Blessed be!
 
Most of these DNA websites have a varying degree of sameness or disparity. This is creating the notion that many are just scams. Not so, each has its own unique testing algorithms, and this is one of the causes of so many variables.

Also, since we all are sprung from one mother whose subsequent generations of offspring began moving about, it isn't uncommon for seeds to have been left all over the globe.

I have been researching DNA and its origins since it became so useful in a variety of disciplines. It's a fascinating subject and I love studying about it.

I got the test. Ain't got no American Indian in me. Mostly French/English. And some East Asian somehow snuck in. My relatives got around. And judging by the results, chastity wasn't a big thing in my family tree. I must have had fast talking ancestors, because within 10 years of Columbus' discovery, I was part Mexican.
