Give him a good haircut and wire rimmed glasses, and he'd be a dead ringer for my husband.

BTW, my husband's Y-chromosome DNA results came back from National Geographic -- I can't remember the exact haplogroup, but basically he's "generic white guy."

My mom's mito DNA came back as A2, basically North American Native American, which only confirms what I knew from family history and genealogy and census reports, that great-grandma was 1/2 Chippewa. I guess this means that her mother was Chippewa, and so forth.

I have a hard time getting these people, both extremely intelligent and well educated, to understand about the limitations of this type of DNA testing. They don't really understand why there's not more of all the others thrown into the mix showing up in the results.
