DNA Test

Anyone done one? Very interesting. My siblings did one so I thought that I would as well to compare the results - mainly to discount it being a load of old shit.
Turns out I’m almost 10% West African! That was the same for my siblings too! Our results were fairly similar. Predominantly Irish and then Spanish and not Italian as we had thought. No English blood in any of us, apparently!

Traced my paternal ancestry back to a chap who would possibly have seen the glow in the night sky from the Great Fire of London in 1666.
He lived in Cuxham, Oxfordshire, as did several of his descendants ; one descendent branch, however shows up as "Caribbean" at about the peak of the slave trade.
I'm obviously from a family of bad 'uns.

To be fair to our hedgehog-chomping friends, this sort of thing would be less likely to happen in their families. They chain their women to the stove, don't they?

Are you talking families that mainly live in caravans?
Yes, I've heard of lots of people getting unwanted suprises.

I'm bumping this because I like to recycle and keep WHO tidy. So hold your whisht.
If any of you are thinking of giving this as a gift to a loved one for Christmas or a birthday, I advise you to be very sure the recipient is someone who potentially handle unexpected news well.
I did the test out of curiosity expecting 50/50 that my biological father was my 'dad' or a family friend suspected by my siblings of being my father (I knew him and he was a lovely man) Either way I'd be happy.
Turns out it was almost certainly neither. I've been closely matched to a family of people whose previous generation lived very close to where my parents lived at the time I was conceived
We've been in touch and worked through the logistics.
Seems my mum had a highly developed sense of fun.

It's certainly true people have moved around.
The French are more German than their leftist nationalists care to admit, and the Eastern bit of the Germans more Polish than their rightist nationalist care to admit.
Of course, we're pretty German ourselves. When we're not Celts.

True. After all, most countries have been invaded and occupied by different people - including the Anglo-Saxons settling here after the Romans left and their Empire collapsed.
