[Little Bill]

My YDNA is I M253, the Viking gene. This kinda confirms that my family were Norman oppressors, Family lore and the fact that my family name originated in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales from a Norman family.

The interesting part is that I got a +/- 2% African I assume from old Ma. Old Ma was of Irish descent and had a rare AB blood type common only in the Basques and the Moors of North Africa, got offered a lot of $$$ for pint of blood, had to turn down because of age.

The only reason I noticed is that my Aunt lost one kid and each of her others had birth problems because of blood type mismatch.

My type is AB2neg. Maybe I can get reparations after all.

Me too Little Bill, I was I1a then reclassified as I-M253 a few years ago thru FTdna.
