So I found out I'm 12.5% Kraut!

[Jadow]

I've always thought I was 50% Norwegian, 50% Irish, my wife signs up for Ancestry.com and we learn that my maternal grandma's mom was german!

Ever since then I've been all like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpBkUY62TtM

Do you have a sudden urge to conquer 12.5% of Europe?

 

[brianmanahan]

im basically half german and half british

its like ww2 erry day in my dna

 

[Ken g6]

So are you 87.5% sour?

I supposedly have a Native American in my ancestry, but I don't even know how to begin to figure out what her tribe was.

I thought maybe you found yourself marching in goose step fashion.

3/4 of my grandparents were 100% German. The other 1/4 was all kinds of stuff. Welcome to the club!

I'm mostly not German, but the German ancestry I do have is all patrilinear so I have an obviously German last name.

Is the 0.5% part significant enough to warrant the extra time spent to calculate and post about?

I'm also 12.5% German, even though I carry a German last name.

The rest is Irish. How pure of Irish I'm not sure. I've heard there may be more Scottish than we thought. Should totally get one of those DNA tests. Even my German side may actually have more Norwegian than German in it.

 

[Centauri]

An American who has some German blood... how incredibly rare.

 

[Geosurface]

I recently sent in a mouth swab to 23andme.com and these were my results:

In terms of family tree, my understanding based on my parents' knowledge of their respective sides of the family, is that I'm almost entirely Irish with a little bit of German possibly on my mother's side.

.125 is an eighth, bro.

He doesn't know anything about drugs.

 

[Fritzo]

[Brigandier]

Er, if I knew about drugs I'd have said 3.5 grams.

If you're talking politics, maybe, but those square heads make some fine engineers.

If you listed European countries in order of "stupid politics", it'd be a long time before you got to Germany.

That is, modern politics. And historically, if you go back 125 years or so, Bismarck was one of the greatest political statesmen in European history. Gotta say there are a couple of decades in the early-mid 20th century that bring their average down though.
