My ancestry DNA results!


Recommended Posts

Spoke to my Auntie today because I wanted to look at my fathers side of the family on Ancestor.com, I really don't know anything about my mom's side. 

She told me we came from Germany and from Poland. I knew about Germany but not Poland.

In my initial, very primitive, look I found we are mostly in Illinois (Chicago) from late 1800's on and Pennsylvania. My family name is Hecker (there is a Hecker Illinois, curious) And my  G grand Father came from Greidz, Germany. Auntie also told me we come from Poland from GG Grand father, but I have yet to confirm that. 

I did message a man, who turned out to be my GGG uncle, and that was fun.

 

I ordered the DNA tests for both of us. Looking forward to the results.

The cost of the DNA ancestry testing is $235

In the Bible I have read for free I come from Noah

What happened between then and now, is it worth $235?

Hmmm..need to think about it.

Nope, I paid 49.00 US dollars for the test so Lew got to have a test for free.

And I also got the 'traits' results with it too.

I live in Australia, and that's the price I saw being advertised, not sure if I can get this done cheaper?

Did not shop for comparison price yet.

Just in case you were wondering, big brother is watching. We talk about DNA tests, and look at my 'sponsored' ad on my forum! 689aed181f1b52f6bc94839d30318559.jpg

It won’t show up as American Indian. I’m a member of a tribe, and I have blood  from about  11 different areas on this continent. North, south, and inbetween. I know the south are South Americans, and even Mexicans. I wonder if the north are from Mongolia. Over the Bering Strait. 

We are, for the most part, mutts. And I love it.

We must be related!😊

or would it show up any way

Those of us today who have Native American in them show up as being ancestors of indigenous people from this continent. Where we settled ended up being tribes. I’m a member of the Yurok tribe, but Yurok sure didn’t show up. Just numerous groups from this continent.

Now special test. We are who we are.

but lowered to 49.00 during a holiday.

Just ordered mine last night.  The lower price was definitely a draw.  Have been wanting to do this for a few years. Although both sets of my  grandparents parents immigrated from Mexico, family lore has it there is Mexican Indian (Aztec on Mom's side) , Spanish, Italian and from Dads side Philippino mixed in.  Will be interesting to see the results.

Cool, let's share our results? I'm so excited to learn if I have Polish roots.

Well I got my results. Amazes me. I feel more of a closeness toward my Germanic roots. But then again I'm drawn to Quebec and England. IK, weird. 

My Auntie was wrong, no Polish in my blood. My Dad's mom was from Quebec so this shows those origins.
