I was alway curious as to what I am. I knew where many of my relatives came from, except my Grandpa on my Mom's side. He swears he's English, but he has dark skin, and a wide nose. I thought for sure he had Native American or African in him.
Here were my results:
I guess I'll never know what my Grandpa is. He's 91 and still kicking, but would have no desire to do a DNA test. Maybe I get my 1.1% Middle Eastern from him.
It didn't really matter to me where I came from other than the fact that I was curious. I kind of wanted to figure my Grandpa out through my test. Ha!

Do you know where your relatives come from? Would you take a DNA test? Does it matter to you where you come from?
I'd love to do a DNA test. It would be fun to know where I come from though it doesn't really matter. I am just curious like you.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW, A!
I always wanted to do one of those DNA tests too. I'm really a mixed bag, so it would be nice to narrow it down a bit. That's cool that you had yours done and were able to get more clarity about your ancestry.
ReplyDeleteAs far as a DNA Test.. we have done a family tree and that's all I really need to know. It's really no biggy to me. We've gone all the way back to my great-grandparents and our family is HUGE! Have a great week my friend and I hope you had a great Easter! hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea. I would like to try one of these tests too :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to try it myself! it looks super interesting
ReplyDeleteYour quite a mix heheh! I have never done one after seeing this it could be interesting :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a DNAtastic week :-)
The stuff they can figure out through DNA is so fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty connected with my family history, and I'm pretty happy with what I know. My grandfather just hit his 100th birthday, and most my grandparents have made it well into their 90's, so at least I know what to expect on length of life, eh? There's definitely value in knowing where you come from.
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting. Thanks for sharing it. I really need to it.
ReplyDeleteI should try this as well. I have heard what my lineage is but I wonder if it would be reflected that way or not. Pretty neat!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I couldn't care less but for my mum and my husband, they go on and on about it, so it's clearly a thing of interest for most people....
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting! I've never really know where I am from, it's really cool that you found out.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool. I am mostly English as well. I would love to have this done someday. I have my family tree on Ancestry.com.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your grandpa would let you do a dna test. You never know. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to have a DNA test to find out where all ancestors come from.
ReplyDeleteInteresting science.
That's really interesting to find out and what a unique gift! :) I'd never think of giving that haha..
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
We got a DNA test of some sort for my mom as part of her gifts...
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what her results were, but I think it is neat :)
I'm not too interested in giving anyone a sample of my DNA. And can you really trust the results? I bet it was fun getting them, though. It's a shame you are no closer to figuring out your grandfather though…
