That's like yesterday in DNA terms. But I encourage you to skip it.

Yes you don't ever know. That's why many societies traced lineage through the female line as that's the only part of the coupling that could be proven before blood tests.

I wonder just how accurate the DNA test really are? Anyone know?

I saw a test somewhere where identical twins sent their samples in to several of the testing places. Every time their results came back different - it varied from slight to significant differences. So I guess the answer is that they are not perfect. Maybe the results should be considered an educated guess at best.

I have never had it done, but, would like to send samples to two or best three testing firms to see how close their analysis match.

I had mine checked early in December. And the results pretty much showed what I expected; British, Irish and French ancestry make up almost 80% of my genetic DNA. My wife has some Native American in her though, as she had a great grandmother that came from a Louisiana/Texas based tribe.

I know a guy that divorced his good looking wife and married an Indian in Oklahoma so he wouldn't have to work.

Wow! I'll bet you were devastated when you found out that you have no American Indian blood.
Both my Dad and my Uncle Roy told me that we're Blackfoot. They taught me some phrases, words and a few stories.
It had been a family secret since both of them could pass for what was known as "Black Irish." Even though the Irish were discriminated against back in my Dad's generation, it still wasn't as back as being an Injun.
I'm not sure why but I show my Injuness more than they did.

I like that new word, "injuness",

I am 100% Arkie since 1953. Beyond that I really don't much care.

I had always been told that my great grandfather emigrated from Ireland and that I had a lot of Irish in me. Plus my last name, Lawler is an Irish surname. Did the DNA test with ancestrydotcom and lo and behold, I’m less than 1% Irish! I came in at over 60% Scandinavian, with about equal portions a little less than 10% of Great Britain, Italy/Greece, and East & West European. It’s evidently accurate, because it identified several first cousins that I’ve been in contact with who definitely share ancestors with me.

I sent my test off, it came back as I knew it would, I am poor white trash in all areas. I nice to know I am from a long line of poor white people.

 

[carpriver]

For the folks that come up Scandinavian but thought you were Scotch or Irish the Vikings were in the British Isles way before the Romans. Being from Britannia you could be all the above.

 

[LostintheOzone]

My wife had her DNA tested. I used to kid her all the time about being a hard headed Norwegian. Her mom has some Scandinavian ancestry.

Her DNA came back and she was really disappointed. Not as much Scandinavian as she thought. Seems there is some Scot and German in there also. She hasn't said too much about it since.

She wanted me to have mine done and I told her I already knew what it was and it wasn't good. I'm related to an Irishman from Ulster that hit these shores in 1750. DNR certified. The DHS knows I'm here.

"They found out I was the sap". Thanks Rodney, RIP. "THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD" on his tombstone. TRUE.

 

[Roadtrash]

Mine says 100% European and so far it is proving right as I am working on my family tree. Although I do have less German than I thought, it's mostly Scotland, England, Ireland and Welsh. But I knew about some of it from stories I heard as a child. So yeah, I'm just an ordinary white guy.
