Has anyone checked their lineage through DNA?

[Scamp]

I used ancestry.com/dna. I also had my daughter checked and that way I could figure out my wife and son's lineage.

I was very much surprised at the results.

I knew I was Irish Scot, my name is Campbell.

Found out I was 39% Irish descent. There is no distinction of Scottish, it's all Ireland DNA.
Great Britain 16%
And the big surprise... I'm 26% Scandinavian. Did not know that.

The rest is Iberian peninsula and some east and west Europe even Finland and NW Russia. It's amazing that it breaks your lineage down to less than 1%.

I'm as white as the driven snow. Lol.

I know very well that the Vikings invaded and conquered the UK. Just didn't know I was 1/4 Scandinavian.

Sometimes people doing their ancestry trace the male line (it's a lot easier) and forget the women ancestors' genes that contribute half but no names.
Cool beans, anyway.

No, that's how they gitcha.

No one in my family ever said anything about us being Vikings. But actually like everyone with England or Ireland lineage is going to have some Scandinavian blood.

 

[Scamp]

No, that's how they gitcha.

Anyone who has been in the military, they have your DNA. If anyone has been to the Dr, and they took blood, they might have your DNA. And your DNA is in your trash.

Exactly. That's okay, I'm a mutt, a Heinz 57......... No one in my family ever said anything about us being Injun till I was in my thirties.

Very few people with European ancestry are going to be like 100% the same lineage. But its cool to know what you really are.

 

[OldLady]

No, that's how they gitcha.

You might find out you're related to the Queen or something, Marion.
Or John Quincy Adams. Something cool.

I know who I'm related to. None of those. Impossible.

The DNA test does not have names, it just breaks down your lineage/ethnicity all the way down to <1%. But they do help you trace your family tree.

23&Me is much better; my wife and I have done both. I'm 99.9% European: French, German, Romanian and Italian of which I was aware, my surprise came when I learned I am 27.9% Ashkenazi Jewish (my paternal Grandmother from Romania was Jewish). All the rest of my family on both sides were Catholic, as am I.

23&Me linked me to 895 DNA relatives in the US, and 424 in other countries - only those who took the 23&Me test are included. One interesting note from the test: the Ice Man who died 5,000 years ago in the Mts. of Europe and recently discovered and I belong to the same Haplogroup.
