BTW, where did they get his DNA? Did I miss something?

Maybe I should get tested to find out why I’m so darned lazy.
My brother did the DNA kit. We thought we were half German and half Macedonian, although my mom thought grandma was part Turkish. Turns out we are half German, and half “southeastern European.” In other words, Macedonian.
The interesting thing is that the kit he used will find genetic matches for family members who have also used the same kit. It accurately identified some distant cousins.
I was born and raised in Grand Forks. I know this to be true.
I don't believe that for a minute! I'll bet everyone she does genealogical searches for turns out to be descended from someone famous.
I don’t think they mean Dutch, or Belgian.
Sub Saharan is about as black as you are going to get.
My grandmother was Dutch....
Those genealogical searches always try to get you hooked up with someone “famous.” Mrs. henkster’s family had one done that supposedly showed they were descended from William the Conqueror. Yeah, right...
I think my brother got the better deal. Half-German/Half Macedonian is scientific confirmation of why I am logical and methodical about nursing my grudges.
LOL! Maybe there is a little truth to the Lady Godiva thingy. I had a horse and rode it all over what is now west Houston........... but I always kept my clothes on....... so we probably aren’t closely related.
10 to 1 they share it with NSA.
I am Scots-Irish and Ani-Yun-Wiya (Cherokee for those in Rio Linda). I am sure some Ani-Yun-Wiya and blacks intermarried back in the 1700’s and early 1800’a, so I probably have some African blood in me....
“So what...” is the way I look at it....

‘I know this to be true. ‘
How do you know? Were you there?
Yes, I was there in Grand Forks, from 1948 to 1967, when I joined the Air Force. That is how I know about North Dakota.
I find it a bit odd that my MIL “heard” her grandma was Indian, but doesn’t KNOW that for absolute certain. Geesh, I know exactly what my grandparents were.
Pernicious amalgamation!
Doing genuine research finding certificates of life stages, references to people in muster rolls, etc, is wrought with fraud?
Lots of people simply hear they are descended from some royalty and run with it, spreading the lie, but that doesn’t mean finding legitimate primary sources is fraudulent.
In the same way, most Eastern or Central Europeans may have a little East Asian left over from Genghiz Khan, while Southern Europeans may have some African or Middle Eastern ancestry from the days of Muslim expansion a millennium ago.
But I'm skeptical about these DNA tests -- a lot depends on how you define the categories and how you test for them.
I'm even more skeptical about that website a few years back that presumed to tell how much of each ancestry group celebrities had based on how they looked.
And he only has Caucasian and African ancestry? They'd have sounded more authoritative if they listed any other ancestry groups with small percentages.
Supposedly Hitler forbade digging by Nazi race researchers into his past fearing he was “tainted” with Jewish ancestry. Which, of course, wouldn’t have done much to promote his Aryan/Master Race theory,
