For Christmas last year, I gave myself and my husband a gift. It was to find out what ethnicity our ancestors were. So we took the DNA test through Ancestry.com. I think it was around $100 each.
A couple of weeks later I got my results, and a week later I got his.
Marv's ethnicity results are as follow:
45% Great Britain
26% Ireland
Then there's some other ethnicities but just traces , among them:
13% Europe West
7% Scandinavia
2% Italy/Greece
2% Europe East
1% Iberian Peninsula
1% Northwest Russia/Finland
1% European Jewish 1% Africa North
My brother in law has been researching their family tree for a long time, and he was surprised it didn't show any Native American DNA since doing his research he found out there might have been some Cherokee/Choctaw ancestors.
My ethnicity results:
61% Iberian Peninsula
And traces from
14% Great Britain
12% Italy/Greece
4% European Jewish
3% Europe East
2% Middle East
1% Africa North
According to the DNA information given:
Marv's ethnicity is English and Irish
My ethnicity is Iberian Peninsula (Spanish and Portugal)
And we both have traces from other world regions.
I guess if I want to know more about our ancestors, we'd have to make a family tree. But I am not sure how to go about it.
My sister Mia has made a family tree from Heritage, and also a 3rd cousin of mine in Spain also has a family tree in Heritage. I may have to ask them how to go about it.
I could make one in Ancestry that way it can link to the DNA.
The DNA test said if you are 51% of any ethnicity, that's what you are. So no surprises here for me :)
