I Have a Story to Tell

I took a DNA test from 23andMe thinking I would get ancestory results of mostly French, British and German. (which I did). BUT I also found out I'm almost 5 percent Spanish. I realize that's a super small percentage, but still, I had no idea! I would have never known had I not taken that test. I thought it was super cool... and spicy. 😏😁 💃🏻

The problem with these DNA tests is a lot of people find out the person they think is their father, isn't
eli1601 · 70-79, M
I read somewhere that the estimate is about 10% of people are unknowingly being brought up by a man who is not their biological father, even though everyone, with the possible (probable?) exception of mom, think he is.

@eli1601 that's only possible if they have his sample as well

I also happen to have French, British and German. Besides that, Scandinavian, and maybe some Jewish.

But wow, that's interesting--23andMe. Think I might try that. 🤔

I just reassembled and uploaded my branch of the family tree to Ancestry. Hopefully I can get more connections to it and trace it back to Europe.
So yeah, I have a bit of Cherokee and I would love to have that confirmed

Perhaps that explains my fondness for Mexican food .., I'm genetically predisposed ! 😉

@TheotherAndy I thought it was really neat. I always thought I was partly Italian, but it turns out I'm not at all. That was another surprise. I want to take the health/heredity portion too. 😁
