LOL, my DNA heritage came back as originally Scottish/Welsh/Irish that later moved into France and Germany so I’m in trouble. The bloodline goes back to Normans that earned land in Scotland for fighting with King David in the 12th century. I don't know if my original ancestors were French Normans or a handful of English Normans. I don't have much ancestry from England, only 9%. The DNA test showed I originated from only five genetic areas.

My more recent Scottish ancestor came here in the mid-1700’s and fought in the Revolution. Sometime during the Scottish clearances my ancestors moved into America and back to France and Germany. According to the DNA map, my ancestors that are still in Europe are in France and Germany.

I had a blast with the DNA search and it proved all of my information that has been researched by me and my family. I'm also proud to have something in common with President Trump. Most of the people on my Scottish side of the family are blunt and outspoken like he is. We just temper it a bit with our Southern manners. I guess that's why I'm not bothered by the most of the things he says.

Years ago I read an article that suggested that one of the primary reasons for the Civil War was a continuation of the animosity between the English and the Scots. The South had a larger settlement of Scottish than did the North, and the North had a larger settlement of English than did the South.

Coincidence? I don't think so.
