I took an ethnicity DNA test

According to my results I am 11% Native American, and about 24% Spanish area descent.

Cool, thank you for the info :slight_smile:

I got 15% for Ireland on my test. I am really happy about that. I have always felt a certain affinity for that culture and part of the world.

That seems like it adds up to way more than a hundred %. Are you really 3 different people in one? Hahahahaha…sry couldnt help it…it was too easy.

Do you mean the dna land results? If so 100.4, 100.1 and 99.8 % - all separate.

You have a very cool mixture of ethnicities firemonkey.

I think I’m 3/8 italian 1/4 russian (jewish) 1/8th latvian (jewish) 1/8th polish (jewish) 1/16th irish 1/16th scottish

at least that’s based on where my family immigrated from, i dunno if a DNA test would do me differently

maybe some israeli if it were a DNA test

One point to note is that results 2% or under are often but not always “noise”. I am waiting on my dad’s results to see what he gets and to upload his data to dna land etc. It will be interesting to see if he gets any North African or Amazonian.

What a COOL mixture! My test said I had a similar ethnicity to Italian. I could have it in me I suppose. I do know for a fact I have Scottish, Irish, American Indian, and Mexican in me.

Yeah I understand firemonkey.

I got 1% Middle Eastern on mine. Nothing significant.

Full Jewish get a lot of matches due to endogamy
http://isogg.org/wiki/Endogamy Not sure about 1/2 Jewish

Without the aid of a DNA test, I know that I am of Irish, German, English, and Scottish descent.

My grandpa is from Ukraine, my grandma is from Poland. On my mom’s side. I don’t know my dad’s side, since I never knew him very well. All I know is he carries a bit of Irish.
