It will be interesting to see how your report compares to your brothers. My sister has done a lot of research and she told me that it doesn't necessarily work exact with the percentages - i.e. if you have a grandparent who is 100% something doesn't mean you will be 25% of the same.

You may just inherit 10% of that grandparent's DNA or you may inherit 30% or a bunch of other combinations.

I think it is all fascinating. But I am a little freaked out about it and I have not been tested.

Here is a fun comparison. These results are from 2 full siblings who are relative of mine.

#1 Europe-West 16%, Ireland 35%, Scandinavia 24%, Europe-East 8%, Great Britain 9%, Eastern Europe/Jewish 0%, West Asia/Middle East 0% South Asia/India 0% Iberian Peninsula 5% Caucasis 3% Italian/Greek 0% Africa 0%

#2 Europe-West 36%, Ireland 27%, Scandinavia 13%, Europe-East 12%, Great Britain 6%, Eastern Europe/Jewish 0%, West Asia/Middle East 3% South Asia/India 0% Iberian Peninsula 0% Caucasis 0% Italian/Greek 0% Africa 1%

Oh and I should add we have researched the family tree for those two siblings extensively and there is no one from Scandinavia that we are aware of. Even though it shows up in their results as 24% / 13%.
