You joke but honestly it might be true since I got a stem cell transplant lol. If I ever wanted one I’d just have to go through my siblings I think just to be sure.

BayRaider Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 So apparently I’m: 24% French and German (apparently almost impossible to tell the difference between the two, French/German DNA looks identical) 17% Scottish 16% Italian 5% Armenian 4% Norwegian 3% Portuguese 1% Balkan 0.1% Chinese (random) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDrew Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The thing that's always made me skeptical about these tests is that each company has its own parameters for the markings. I've read a few reports that had the same person send samples to 3 of the companies, and come back with 3 results. For example, say you could trace family history back hundreds of years to northern Italy. You could send the test off to 3 companies, and have them come back as French, German, and Swiss. Since there's no real standards, each company looks at the same thing differently, and comes up with different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read a few reports that had the same person send samples to 3 of the companies, and come back with 3 results. I believe that's because they base results on their own databases. So there will be some variation between them, but I don't think it's as extreme as all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
