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).

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.

Plenty of us Europeans had a great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother who shacked up with a Mongol somewhere down the line.

True. haven't done the spit test yet, myself. But have traced my family lineage back to specific cities:

 

Kobrin, Ukraine (12.5%) Maternal Grandmother's father

Warsaw, Poland (25%) Maternal Grandfather

Riga, Latvia (12.5%) Maternal Grandmother's mother

Minsk, Belarus (12.5%) Paternal Grandfather's Mother

Moscow, Russia (12.5%) Paternal Grandfather's Father.

Tblisi, Georgia (25%) Paternal Grandmother

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.
