Just got my DNA stuff back two days ago, little bit of a surprise in there.

 

[ElFenix]

mostly german, a little english (which is still mostly german), and some scottish.

 

[stargazr]

Mostly German I think, also some Scottish or Irish because I have red hair.

 

[sdifox]

100 percent Taiwanese

 

[soulcougher73]

According to my recent 23andme I’m 75% English and 25% German. With a few less than 1%s of various other things.

 

[thebestMAX]

Askenazi so dont really know but probably Austria-Poland-Hungary-Lithuania and Germany.

 

[Chaotic42]

British/French/Scottish/Scandinavian with ~0.2% of Middle Eastern/African/South Asian according to 23 and Me. I should do Ancestry.com and see if they concur.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'm not 100% sure but I do know there is a mixture, but it's most likely on the Celtic side, probably Irish. At least from my mom/grandma's side.

There's also a bit of native on my dad's side. I think I could in theory apply for my status card if I wanted to do the leg work. It's harder when you're only slightly native though.

I've always been curious to do one of those tests to get a more scientific result, but don't like the privacy concerns.

newfie/scottich/canadian indian.

 

[bigboxes]

Mostly German I think, also some Scottish or Irish because I have red hair.

Red hair is a recessive trait found throughout northern Europe, albeit more prominent in Ireland and Scotland.

Mostly German and some Scots

Western Euro and some trash.

 

[Jon-T]

50% Italian, both grandparents from my fathers side
25% German, Mom's Dad came over.
Rest said to be English, Irish, Scotch, Spanish and Americana Indian. Oh lord, grandma was from West Virginia God only knows what happened there. been thinking about a DNA test to find the truth about that one.

One odd thing about the German granddad is that he came over just after WW1. In his basement was a painting of the Lusitania sinking. Little me thought nothing of it, but, older me wonders if it was a joke or did I have an Great Uncle who was on a U Boat.

 

[William Gaatjes]

I have no idea. European, a bit slavic maybe.
Funny thing is that although i am dutch, some dutch people seem to think i am from Poland or Russia or somewhere in between because of the way i speak, act and look (In their view). Even foreigners sometimes ask if i can speak English or dutch...
