Nearly half Eastern EU (Polish, Slovac, German) and nearly half Western EU (English, Scottish, Irish) with 2% Bantu.

My daughter got back the same 2% Bantu.

Bantu would be the tribe from which the largest number of slaves were taken to the US. For you to have Bantu, it most likely means that there were slaves in your US ancestry.

I also have some Bantu.

The majority of my genetic background is British, Irish, Scandanavian, Iberian, the "-stan" area of Eurasia, and a bit from India.

I'd always heard that we are part Indian... but we always thought it was Native American, and not actual Indian.

I'd like to do the 23andme test for comparison.

My genealogy is interesting, too. The majority of my ancestors came here as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Some ancestors were part of the Connecticut colony. Either way, the American part of my family tree goes back to the mid 1600s, and there are no immigrants for the last couple of hundred years. So I can call my husband one of those danged newcomers, since his ancestors immigrated in the 1800s.

[Alas Babylon!]

you wouldn’t happen to have a Roger Tyrrell in you past, would you? My ancestor; came it Boston in 1632, and then moved down to found Milford, Connecticut.

My ancestors originally settled what today is Hardwick, Massachutts. Before the name was changed to Hardwick, it was named Lambstown Plantation. My Family name is Lamb.
