Lounge

My mom did it after doing ancestry dna. She did 23 and me too.

Only surprise she got “Greek/Baltic” instead of middle eastern.

Were the two test results the same?

It said Greek instead of middle eastern but other than that it was pretty much very similar.

I really wanna do this. Maybe after I move I’ll check it out. All I know is that I’m white, no idea anything beyond that. Really curious. Other people get to be proud of who they are because of culture, that sounds fun, I wanna try it. I hope I’m Irish.

I would guess that mine would be very similar. Italian/Irish, a little English and German. Interesting!

I’ve never done a dna heritage but I know most of my family history. Dads family Scottish irish and native american. My moms is a little more complex. One of my great grandmothers was Apache but was taken away as a baby and given to a white family. Her 5th husband my great grandpa was German/Dutch. My grandma’s family is Jewish from Poland and they came before Hitler invaded poland. But my great grandmother converted to catholic so she can marry my great grandpa who was irish
