Blah, blah, blah...DNA stuff...~snip
(This is in the conclusion)
But to say that you are 20 percent Irish, 4 percent Native American or 12 percent Scandinavian is fun, trivial and has very little scientific meaning.

Just think how we’ve all been saying lately, ‘where is the evidence?’
Justice Kavanaugh could have been successfully framed given a well-planned scenario, as could any one of us.

Good enough to get you or a relative thrown in prison. How much better does The Almighty State need them to be?
Wow, you must be ooooollllllddddd!
I hope they use it for good.
I quit Scientific American way back when they fired Forrest Mimms for his Christian Beliefs.
Well, a few years ago I got one done and found out I was 2% Jewish. Ok but they updated it a few months ago and my Jewish heritage has been replaced with 1% sub-Saharan African
So I want my reparations.
My grandfather was olive skinned, brown eyes and jet black hair.
Norwegian.
My dad figured he was from some slave girl brought home on a raid. Until dad visited relatives up in northern Norway. Lapland - the Sami are very much like American Eskimos, and they all looked like his dad!
I am not an alleged right winger; I'm a die-hard conservative. What I think is cool is that, because I was adopted as a very small child, I have been able to find my biological father's side of the family and have had a lot of questions answered. I don't see how that affects you at all.

2 years ago, a sibling and a daughter bribed me to get back into Genealogy to firm up our UK and Scottish research. They paid for a year’s membership in AC and a DNA test. They wanted me to see if we had native American ancestors and in particular Cherokee as per family legends.
The first DNA test came back with no Native American DNA, and some excellent UK/Scot/Iris DNA that fit with our family tree research. We discovered relatives in the Iberian peninsula, that we didn’t know about.
AC re jiggled their DNA, and we lost the Iberian relatives re DNA and reaffirmed our UK trees and found more. My total tree is over 27,000 documented ancestors. 97% are UK/Scot/Irish and some western Europe.
Again, there was zero native American data.
However, we now have a measurable West African % and zero names to back up that %.
Old fashioned Genealogy research has recently found, supposedly, about 300+ Cherokees and other Native Americans. Our DNA again shows nothing.
An unnamed expert a few years ago said there was no native Cherokees, they were mixture of humans from both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
He felt that one of the biggest con jobs in history, science and genealogy was the creation of so called Native Americans.
Below are some DNA studies on these Native American questions:

Hey - Grandpa John!!
I’m a DNA geek and use it for genealogy. Highly accurate.
It’s a joke for the ethnic part however.
WTF and I don’t GAF.
The poster to whom I responded several months ago got it.
I'm amazed so many "alleged right wingers" are so foul mouthed and rude.
marketing profile constructed about “you” from data used on whitepages.com etc?
Since the internet site know peoples’ families, addresses, phone numbers, and birth certificate data (just from public information), a corporation data punching it into the professional geneology sites doesn’t seem like such a stretch.
Wow, who knew leftist freaks from months ago would suddenly find it attractive to attack me.
Guess things aren’t looking so well for their babe after all.
Have an amazing day!
The tests, in general, are quite good.
I have been unraveling some previously unknown/hidden family history by finding matches in large databases and comparing stories.
But, of course, the claim, pioneered by Ancestry and now taken up as a matter of survival by FTDNA and 23andMe that you have “Swedish DNA” or “Irish DNA” is foolishness.
After all, even in the old days, those pesky Y chromosomes did get around.
Lot of the genealogy stuff is run by Mormons. They gather family data and then baptize their “customers” posthumously into their kingdom.
