AncestryDNA - NewYorkjoe - 01-18-2018
I received my DNA results via email the other day, after waiting nearly two months (they are seriously backed up).
I was curious since I've never met my actual, biological father.
Results:
Great Britain: 33%
Ireland/Scotland/Wales: 25%
Scandinavia: 22%
Europe East: 13%
European Jewish: 3%
No German or Cherokee at all! Also, they tell me I have a first cousin who also had his DNA tested.
All this info from a small vial of spit!

That is really very interesting. So one parent from the UK. Scandinavia and East Europe seem close to each other so there must be lots of mixtures like that.

The Vikings from Scandinavia spread their genes from Norway, Sweden, Denmark , and Finland to Britain, Ireland, France (Normandy), Iceland, Greenland, the Faroes, and even to Russia. You could say they got around!

I wound up
69% Ireland/Scotland/Wales (no surprise)
15% Iberian (I'm betting some shipwrecked survivor from the Armada)
4% Scandinavian (a lot of them settled in Orkney and Shetland in the Olden Days)
