The majority of my DNA comes from England, Wales and Northwest Europe, including parts of France, Spain and Holland. That’s where my father was born. I didn’t know anything about my family history, or about the possible connection to Marshall and the Plantagenets until many years after my two trips there. Wish there was a way to confirm it all.
Thanks to my northern Euro origins, I have a pretty good chunk of Scandinavian DNA, which has been rolling along since the Vikings were running and sailing around. That’s just *some* of my ‘woodpile DNA’. 😊
England, Scotland, Ireland and a smidge of Alsace-Lorraine on my mom’s side. My mom’s maternal grandparent’s family were from villages about 20 miles from one another, but they didn’t meet until they got to Cincinnati.Things were a little more parochial back then.
I think the villages are on opposite sides of the French/German border now but were both in Germany at the time of their emigration. Of course, they had both also been in France at one time. Both family names are solidly Kraut though.
