Apparently a lot of white supremacists are finding out they aren't as 'white' as they thought they were. :lol1:

Seriously?  :D:D 

Yes, it was in the news. I didn't read the whole article so I'm not going to post a link but the knuckleheads said if they are part African it just meant there were white people in that part of Africa. ..:nope:

I've always been very pale but after watching the PBS show Finding Your Roots, I had hoped I too would have an interesting mix of ethnicities, but it turns out I am 99.8% european/white with the other 0.2%  "indeterminate."  At least now when I just tell ppl that I'm white Canadian and they say "no but really, what's your background?"  I can prove with numbers that my ethnicity is in fact as boring as it sounds.

Jack,

 

I used ancestry.com   site   it was on sale this past summer.

On the website you can see specifics like what the other regions are. I had to wait like 2 years before they updated their data base before they could tell me what the other regions are. The way they redesigned the site is a little bite confusing when you try to see your results but you can see those specifics.

I watched the program, Finding Your Roots, last night on PBS, and it was a real revelation for the singer Carly Simon to find out that her DNA is 10% sub-Saharan African through her great grandmother who was brought to Cuba as a slave.

 

On the flip side, the host Henry Louis Gates Jr. said that it's a surprise to many African-Americans that most of them have as much as 20% European ancestry.

My mother was adopted so we knew nothing about her biological family so I had a dna test.  (went through myheritage as it was on sale for $69).If you order from amazon, prime, you get free 2 day shipping also.    Myheritage also accepts free uploads from my ancestry and 23&me.  A nice way to get additional info free.  I also uploaded mine to dna.land.  ( free).  The results were similar to myheritage.

So I bought one of those ancestry DNA kits and had my DNA tested. Unlike other tests which just test your DNA from your mother or fathers side, this test tests your DNA from both your maternal and fraternal side, so it's thorough. I was so excited to get my results! Turns out I'm 90% African, 7% European, 2% Asian and -1% Pacific Islander. Of my African DNA, I'm 47% Benin/Togo, 26% Cameroon/Congo, 11% Senegal, 3% South African central hunter gatherers, 2% North African, -1% Ivory Coast/Ghana. My European Ancestry is from 5% Iberian Peninsula,  1% Scandinavia, 1% Great Britain. My Asian ancestry is from Central Asia and my Pacific Islander ancestry is from Melanesia. Here's a pic of me. The first pic is me with my dad when I was younger. If you guys have taken DNA results before post your ancestry info :)

One day I may get to do a blood test. but I do love family history.

My Grandfather traced his family back to the First Fleet when he was alive. Owen Cavanough was my Many Greats back. He discovered The Cavanoughs had fled persecution From France.

They were the Heugonauts..So this is my Mums side. then from France to England. then in 1788 Owen Cavanough he as a Royal Able Seaman who married a convict.

But was in charge of looking after Governor Phillip aboard the Sirius. till It reached Australian shores. I recently discovered His daughter was Grace married a Turnbull. So I am related to the present Prime Minister. So guess you could say he is my distant cousin.

Then my Nana on my Mums side she was also from France.

then My Dad's side His Dad was from Scottland,  My Nana's family her dad was German came straight out after the war to start a new life. Changed his name. He married an Irish girl.

So I am a good mixture.
