The use of DNA testing to attribute ethnic background is subject to dispute and uncertainty. The genetic markers relied on are rarely unique to one group or another and yield only a range of probabilities. The leading test services also tend to be opaque as to precisely what markers they use, and the selection of markers is changed frequently based on new population studies.

All said though, how does it feel now being one of the Norman overlords? I hope that you do not attempt to take up the exercise of droit du seigneur on the local maidens. The times being what they are, that could set the local gendarmes and outraged and armed male kinfolk after you.

My God man if you had a lot of Zeta Jones running around what would do?
