Have you taken your ancestry test?

[Anonymous]

I haven't but from what I know I have Argentinean, Italian, probably some Ukrainian and Venezuelan I just don't know the exact percentages.

[purplepoppy]

No, I might find out I'm part English and I don't know if I could handle that.

Generally in the UK the further west you go the more French/Spanish DNA and the further east the more German DNA as a percentage. Scottish DNA tends to have a big dollop of Irish and Scandinavian mixed in. In fact if you live anywhere down the west coast you've probably got some Irish in you.

If you live close to any major port you'll probably have DNA from who your town mostly traded with in the past. Quite often local slang words and dialect will point you in the right direction as will regional delicacies.

[Asker]

You scared to find out? Lol

[purplepoppy]

It would shattered my illusion of perfection

[Asker]

So why does it matter if you more than likely already know lol

[Vevv123]

I have. 50% European, 40% African the rest is indigenous with some Asian. 😆

[Asker]

So you took it? 40% African? I never would've guessed lol

[Vevv123]

Wait I just checked 😆 It’s not 40% African, it’s 40% indigenous. And it’s 50% European, and the remaining is a small bit of African and Asian.

[Vevv123]

But I think in general, I think everyone’s somewhat mixed.

[Asker]

Yea I think with 40% African you wouldn't be so pale 😂

[Vevv123]

True.. my memory mixed it up slightly 😆 I think I’m just a little light looking from staying inside all the time 😆 I need sun

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Why will somebody care?
Especialy if you never grow in such a country or don't even talk the language.
If its to look back to our all origins, on witch one do e belong if a person finde out he is from 100 countrys?

You are what you are, depand on the place you had been born.

[DryGermanGuy]

Forget these silly percentages, they mean little to nothing. Talk to your grandparents and check the church/civil registers for your actual family tree.

[Asker]

Dude that shit doesn't exist here, if anyone has all that stuff it's the government that has it for leverage, you can't just wonder into a church here and stuff and leech on information without possibly being flagged or something lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Here you have to make an appointment with the registrar or archivist as well. I'm also pretty sure that the churches on the East Coast continued the same practices like they knew in the old world:

[Asker]

I don't know anymore, here illusion and delusion is what people are focused on, I'm exhausted of seeking for truth in a civilization that wants to hide it all behind lies, if I was mixed they would lie to me just to feel powerful here lol

[DryGermanGuy]

I’m not sure I follow… 🤔

[Lliam]

Yes. I did Ancestry. com.

71% Ireland
20% England
3% France
6% Northwestern Europe (Viking)

Both sides of my family emigrated from Ireland to the U. S. around 1850. They were Irish Catholics.

[exitseven]

No, I do not need to have the government to have access to my DNA/ Besides I know where all my ancestors came from.

[Asker]

Lucky you, you even know the 1 percent African 😂

[msc545]

Yes, I have. I am Sicilian and Greek and probably a little bit of Finnish.

[Asker]

Interesting lol

[msc545]

Yeah very odd actually. As far as I know, my mother and father met one afternoon in a park where they were both hanging out and strolling. I guess one thing after another happened and I'm the result.

[msc545]

They were never married and I don't think after I was conceived they spent much time together and another result of that is that years later I am teaching myself genealogy, which turns out to be far more complex than I ever dreamed. I have learned to have the utmost respect for the art and science of genealogy as I construct my own heritage with a help of a very useful AI to crunch a mountain of data. I cannot imagine what it would be like to do this sort of thing by hand and yet people for many years did just that I haven't the patience to do it by hand. So I appreciate the help of the AI and also be very critical assistance of very precise DNA testing.

[msc545]

I am now awaiting receipt of my father's death certificate, which according to my AI will be the key to a lot of things. We don't know at this point. Enough that that seems a bit Grimm but it turns out the death certificates usually contain a lot of data that is important to genealogists.

[douride2]

I have no need to. I know I am of Norwegian & Scottish ancestry,.

[ODC2112]

I don't need it. I have a complete family tree spanning half a millennium, and all my ancestors are concentrated within a 42-kilometre area in an Alpine valley in northern Italy.

[CubaPirate]

No but I think I ought to

[Asker]

Just to see what's there

[CubaPirate]

Yes true

[loveyouoak]

I haven't because I don't care.

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, never, but I would.

[Mike_Hum]

I have.

[Asker]

What you get?

[Mike_Hum]

[sage2021]

Nope!

[Anonymous]

Nope. I know enough from my own family trees 📜

[strateguy632]

Nope
