Interesting DNA results, Chad— mine were similar and strange. I came out 60% English, which wasn’t surprising on my mother’s side. But my father’s side is almost entirely German for several generations, and that didn’t show up at all. What did show up, though, and is totally mystifying, is 20-some% Eastern Jewish!!???

And I would have thought they had the wrong sample, except that, when I looked briefly at the ancestry website, which teases you into subscribing (I haven’t yet), the very first names that popped up were a first cousin and his two daughters! Blew me away...

No desire (nor talent) for religious artistry - my sister got that instead. My DNA info came from 23&me, and my dear wife "instructed" me to get the Nat. Geo. (Helix) ancestry stuff for Christmas - it arrived just a couple of days ago. We'll see what that shows - 23&me claims I'm just under 50% British & Irish, even tho both paternal grandparents were born in Germany, and a good proportion of my maternal ancestry is also German.
