Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sent out 23 & me today...

Curious as to what they will find. Know about 3/4 of my genetic background. The other 1/4 has at least one ancestor that came over on the Mayflower and two or three that married woman that nobody really has any idea about the backgrounds of. Could have a little bit of just about anywhere in my genes.

Mutt of the planet myself.
AKA: American......

Haha

You gonna find out you got 12% Nubian negro in there.

Hope you don't have any outstanding warrants, past crimes, or illegitimate children.

You'll find out if you do.

Turns out your second cousin is going to jail

I wonder how many people do those tests and find out that the mailman or the preacher is actually their Daddy?

Now the .gov knows where to find you.

I resemble that remark.

I thought I was about half German and half British Isles. 38% Scandinavian, 28% Scot/Irish/Welsch plus a little German, Iberian Peninsula, and a touch First Nation.

One of thoes is possible I guess...and in that case, I would want to know anyway.

After the back child support issue comes up thru the court
You might regret wanting to know.
Lol!!!

I might bribe the Mormons to make me 1/2 Cherokee so I can get a Gubmint check.

You’re just mad because yours came back “78% Ugly”.....

They will send you a full refund if they decide to use your DNA in their cloning project. It's a one in a million shot though.

On ancestry.com mine came back 80% Irish. On the Irish ones they could nail it down to a surprisingly small area, mine came down to the very southwest corner of the coast of Ireland.

Later the news got out that they could get so specific in Ireland because of the degree of inbreeding during the 60 years prior to the famine when a person might have fifty to one hundred first cousins living in the immediate area.

So now when I check they took that narrow specification away. I’m glad I saw it before they did.

I was happy to get it done, it was a gift for my whole family and dinged known relatives with the correct degree of relatedness.

Funniest was my mom, raised inEngland, who always disparaged the Irish. For me to be 80%, she hadda be at least 60%

This is more true than people realize.

LOL.

They like to add a little Ashkenazi and Sub Saharan African in there just to mess with you. I think someone there even admitted it, at one point.

I know a guy that this happened to just a few months ago.

An orphan saw what he believed could be his cousin. He reached out to her and after a bit of research discovered a 99% possibility that they were half-siblings.

Yada, yada, yada. The father's high school sweetheart was pregnant when he left for bootcamp. This was in the sixties. They sent her away to have the kid and give it up for adoption and the family never told him. The orphan located the mother as well.

Pretty wild stuff.

I won't be participating.

Schit like this is made up to make people like JamesJr feel better after he discovers that he's part eggplant.

I don't know what's going to turn up. I can trace the lines of 3 of my Grandparents since they got off the boat, AND my 1st cousin on Mom's side has had this done(90+% Irish ia what he got). My Grandfather on Dad's side can trace EVERYONE in his lineage back to Bohemia(now Czech Republic), doesn't necessarily mean there isn't some other DNA, but should be mostly central Europe. My Grandmother on Dad's side...hard to say. I've heard that that branch originally came over on the Mayflower, but an ancestor lied about his age and changed his name to enlist in the Civil War where he fought in the "Iron Brigade" at 14. Dad told me once that there was good possibility of a very small percentage of either Native or African in there, I believe from sometime in the Colonial times, but no one is really sure.

I'm just curious myself.
