Back in November Pat bought me a DNA test from Ancestry.com. I did my part and sent it in. The results came in today. And it is interesting. Now when I received the test I said I would be mad if I was not a quarter Dutch and a quarter Polish. I certainly did not expect that to happen.
I am a quarter Dutch, although you have to find it. It is part of my 49% English/north Europe. It is about the only thing that was as I expected. My personal makeup shows no Irish and no Polish. I am 28% Finnish and I have no idea where that comes from. I think to get that number I would have to have a full blooded Finnish grandparent.
Pat was kind of excited by the fact that we are from Sweden, Norway and Finland which means we were Vikings.
I did pay for a membership on Ancestry.com so that I have access to all the information. A lot of it is just fascinating. I love looking at the manifests from when great-grandparents came across and came through New York. History.
