Alright now, just logged on to Ancestry.Com and I was wrong about who might have Turkish blood(Italian/Greek 8% including Turkish) and it was my brother’s wife, not my brother and me. She has the “colorful” family tree while we as as”WASPy” as any white man can get! 38 percent from Great Britain, 27 Ireland, 19% from Scandinavia, and 15 Western Europe. White, very white.

As for my Scots ancestry, looked over my notes and we, if the research can be believed, had an ancestor that was an Earl and married Matilda, sister of Robert I “the Bruce”, King of Scots(Yes, the very one from “BraveHeart)(I’d rather be related to William, oh well...)

Later his descendants fought and lost the Battle of Breton and as punishment was sent over to America.

Don’t know if all is true and correct but that what “seems” to be. Frankly, I don’t trust any “copy” of documents other than the dates and names from my granny’family Bible and it only goes as early as the early 1880’s.

If you want to go beyond the standard 400 year window, you need to run your raw DNA data against one of many ancestry calculator services out there. The standard reports are pretty much meaningless for true ancestry.
