DNA results show big surprises–not!

Well, I certainly need to be posting more often, eh? Hey, at least I finally put new quotes in the sidebar.

Now that the temperatures are really heating up, it’s time to do indoor stuff instead of outdoor stuff. So I’m back to diligently working on the new family tree database. I haven’t found very much that is new, I’m mostly verifying previous data and sources, to make sure that what I have so far is correct. Also, I have taken the time to update these pages on this site to conform to the new information I have found.

The 23andMe results are in, and I’m 100.0% European. No surprise there! At least that tells me that my research is accurate. 58% is Northwestern European (French, German, British, Irish, etc) and the rest Eastern/Southern and “Broadly” European. Which means the Northwestern European is from my mom (British & German) and the rest from my dad (Hungarian). And 65% of other customers have more Neanderthal ancestry than me. Can’t get much more lily-white that I am, hah 🙂

Tom is only 99.8% European. Somewhere something else crept in there, lol. But he has more Neanderthal ancestry than 91% of other customers, so maybe that tells you something, I don’t know.

Time to get back to the research. After I get all the branches of the tree set, then I’m going to subscribe to some newspaper sites and see what kind of information and stories I can find that will help bring those branches to life!
