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). I'm dark haired and can tan, so I was expecting Spanish or Italian or something, but no such luck... Caucaus mountain region is Georgia. Not Mongolia.

Hunter2_1 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 I thought there would be more English in the US, considering most of the surnames and town names (oh and language) are English. Is it just that the English were THAT imperialistic that it didn't actually need that many to spread the culture like wildfire? hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
