Genealogy and DNA: Odd things discovered
Self | 10/8/2017 | madison10

Posted on 10/08/2017 1:10:31 PM PDT by madison10

I happen to be a member of one of the genealogical sites. Currently my DNA profile is 78% Western European and a typical native Western European is 48%. Which means 30% more of MY DNA came from the region than that of a native.

Thank God I am not in Europe welcoming the Muslim hordes.

More Euro-man than Euro-men.

I had mine done and I am almost all British Isles.

Not unexpected.

I’d be interested in the genealogical sites you refer to.

Cheers, ‘Pod

My brother and his wife took that test, no surprises"We" are 100% western European while his wife is a mix of American Indian, Africa and Eastern European(Polish))Again, nothing we didn't already know.

And welcoming Moooolims isn't the only thing I'm glad my ancestors turned their buttcheeks west and crossed the big pond!

The percentage of whites in the entire world... 5 to 6%
The most hated people.
The most successful.
And the only endangered race.
Embrace reality, or die.

Those default reports from the genealogy sites only look back may be 400 years. They are good for genealogy, but not for true ancestry. But they also provide raw genetic data, which you can use in other ancestral services to get a more accurate picture. Some calculators look far back up to thousands of years. Basically, they look at ancestral populations before the era of constant mass migrations that started around 400 years ago.

Run your genetic data against those services (most are free) and you might see what percentage of your ancestry originated with the aboriginal Europeans and what percentage was from the neolithic Middle Easterners and the Central Asian steppe nomads. There might even be ancestral South Eurasian in you.

Interesting, but see my #9 for a more accurate ancestry. PM me if you need more info.

I catch those commercials from time to time. I’ve yet to see ANYONE that is more than 50%, of ‘anything.’ I wonder what the real percentages are and why they’re so selective in not showing people that are basically of one ethnicity?

And nobody is showing up Jewish at ALL in these commercials. Oy! *SMIRK*

I think this DNA testing smacks of Globalism and making us all One Worlders. See? See? We’re all ALIKE! You’re NO more special than anyone else!

But then, in the SAME breath we’re told to, ‘check our privilege’ and that being white is now the most AWFUL thing you could possibly be! You’re a BORN Racist! It’s in your DNA!

*Rolleyes*

Just an observation; not picking on you specifically. You SAID you wanted to ‘chat’ about it, LOL!

Ok. I have a tree on Ancestry. Actually 3 trees. Need to combine them.

You put it much more eloquently than I! :)

Years ago, I did a DNA check. The surprising results: I’m a duke on my father’s side, and an earl on my mother’s side. So yes, I’m a duke, and an earl. I’m the Duke of Earl.

As I said to my current wife (and previously, to all of my ex-wives):

And when I hold you
You’ll be my Duchess, Duchess of Earl
We’ll walk through my dukedom
And a paradise we will share...

I did the spit test and got back my results:

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.

Don't know what to think about that, not that I mind but we can't figure out where the ancestors are in our line and why would both of us have the same percentage.

On another note - I am cousins to both Patton and the guy who played him in the movie.

I have four for myself and three for my husband. We each have a main tree and one specific to maternal lines.

One of mine is the Southern branch of my paternal line. One son went north and one son went south. Different mothers. Boring to most. LOL

it's that ≈1.2% Neanderthal DNA that needs to be exterminated...

I just checked mine. Great Britain 58%. Western Europe 21%. The test was done through Ancestry.

“I think this DNA testing smacks of Globalism and making us all One Worlders.”

Lol, how you seem to be triggered by genetics.
