Hunter2_1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Does everybody know theirs? I got mine done recently with one of those spit-kits from ancestry.com. You spit in a tube, send it back and they supposedly can identify your ancestry and trace the paths etc using halpogroup and mitochondria data. Some question it's validity, but I think it's legit. I came back as; 74% Western Europe (So, France, Germany etc) 17% Irish 8% British 1% Russian (....woo) trace of Caucaus mountain region. (Hi Genghis).

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Never done it but it seems interesting. I'm just lazy about actually doing stuff like that. I'd need like a kiosk in shopping mall with a pushy salesman to actually get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDLefebvre Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Maternal grandparents immigrated from Italy so 50% Italian. Fathers family is Belgiumand scotc-irish but don't know exactly how much of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My last name has Scottish origins, I had a really red beard when I was younger but it’s more brown now. My great grandparents on my moms side are German immigrants. Pretty vague, I definitely want to follow up and learn more some day I want to do one of those spit kits, was actually gonna get one for my wife for Christmas this year since she’s got a pretty unique makeup (Vietnamese/Native American/Italian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonka Trucks Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Majority Scottish and Irish. Have some other European countries in my DNA too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm a child of immigrants so my immediate ancestry is clear: 3/4 German, 1/4 American White Mutt. I'd be curious what the unknown 25% would be comprised of. If some of my family is to be believed, it's a lot of Nordic, some French, with a splash of Asian steppe conqueror mixed in via ma boi 3 hours ago, Hunter2_1 said: Genghis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I can believe that, but if that IS true, then....he got threw a serious amount of work on his quest..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetfan66 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 50% Italian 25% Irish 12.5% German 12.5% Dutch But I am curious what ethnicities a DNA test would show. I am 100% Sicilian on my dads side. Sicily had many different inhabitors as they would stop on the island while traveling. Wouldn't surprise me if I had some African or Spanish influence from that.
