I saw a video today where they took a group of people if different nationalities and ethnic groups, and by the magic of DNA profiling, gave them a percentage of what country their genes came from.
One bloke said that he didn't like Germans and that he was 100% British, he was 30% German lol
Would you be imntrested enough to take such a test? I'd love to know what is in my profile,I know there is Caribbean, Irish, and some German and Dutch, but the Caribbean bit and to some degree the Irish bit, that is what interests me most, there was a lot of foreign raiders happened upon the shoires of Ireland, and the Caribbean, held slaves from all over Africa and not to mention the native people of the islands
I just think it would be interesting, and even more so I'd love to have the test done on my kids, and see how the landscape changes between kids who only share one common parent |

I'd be curious. Though my mum's traced our family tree to my great grandma's dad on my grandma's side and it's just Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield. Not very exotic I'm afraid  |

I've done both sides of my tree back to the 1500's (I have quite a rare surname so it was relatively easy) and both sides of my family come from Wootton Bassett yet my mum's family moved to Wales and my dad's to London. Even more strangely both families had married into each other before. |

"Apparently according to the Math, we are descended from Charlemagne.....
I always knew I had royal blood in me.....  "
.
If you do the math.... Were actually pretty much guaranteed to be fifth cousins!.
And that goes for everybody else |

I am 100% French from a small village generation by generation. Maybe I will find out that actually I am completely wrong, It would be very interesting...

Basically the nearer you get to a port the more genetic diversity you see, hence the saying any port in a storm, the more in land the less genetic diversity, hence the inbred farmers comments.
None of it actually matters as you don't really need that much genetic diversity to keep it healthy. |

"I am 50% Swedish from my fathers side and some of my mothers, she is mostly german, swedish and some polish, so I am 25% german and 25% polish  "
.
Surely she's 50% German 25%Swedish and 25% polish.
So you can't be 25% as well or can you? |

Well worth a visit, East Coast, Norfolk |
Right, where do I (B) begin? My mother's German, father's from St. Vincent. His mother was Arawak Indian, his Grandfather Scottish (from the original slave owners family) and there's Chinese in there somewhere from 'back in the day' on the island. No wonder I'm mixed up lol! |

My dad's mum's grandad came from Italy that's all I know |

Surely she's 50% German 25%Swedish and 25% polish.
So you can't be 25% as well or can you?"
Not sure, but she was born in sweden with german/polish parents and yeah its abit tricky to calculate the percentages that way isn't it? |

I guess that's the problem with ethnicity and nationality.... It doest really tell us much about either.
Unless your Polynesian or similar your likely to have a lot of genetic diversity |

I'd be interested to do this
I'm Sicilian by birth but over the decades Sicily had been at war with and run by many countries including the Greeks, Phoenician and The Roman empire so who the heck knows what's been thrown in there |

Anglo Saxon and Norman: Traced back as far as to know that I had ancestors fighting on both sides of the Battle of Hastings.
Plus some more recent French and German from the 1800s; and some Hungarian from the 1860s .

My basic elements are mostly Irish with a bit of Italian thrown in for flavor (like most people from NYC). I was made in Brooklyn, though, and that's the part that matters  |

according to a statistician at Yale University, not only are we all related to Charlemagne going back 600 years but by expanding the timeframe by 1000 years, our first common ancestor is Nefertiti...  |

Not actually done a family tree so can't be certain but my dad thought given his unusual surname that we originate from France. By searching Facebook I've found some in Australia and there's a group that I belong to.
By googling my surname I've found some in America who were imprisoned for being a single mother
My mothers surname is also unusual but I've not yet found anyone further than Stroud  |

I'm from Winchester. Although my biological parents were from Plymouth and .....actually I have no idea where my Father was from. Met him once and never asked. So yes Winchester the home town of my late mum and dad. Not only the people who adopted me as a baby but the kindest must generous people you could ever meet. |
