After a month of waiting i finally got my Dna test results back and they are really intresting.
I used the my heritage Dna kit it took just over a month to get the results back to me there wasn’t really huge shocks although I was supised by some of the findings.
Like i’ve always thought I was 8th irish and 8th Scottish but the test results show i’m more than that.
It’s showed i’ve 41.9% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh so maybe i’m 8th Irish, 8th Scottish and 8th Welsh which would make up the amount or maybe I just have more Irish and Scottish in me than I thought.
44.7% English which yeah no surpise there although i did think it would be higher than that i was thinking more 70% 80% in a way i’m actully glad it’s less has it mean i’m more diverse.
Now this is the surpise 13.4% 2 other ethnicities which are 12.5% Scandinavian which I did kind of think there would be being from the North West of England, how ever what surpised me was that i’ve 0.9% Middle Eastern DNA.
I can only think this is one of two things, I do have a 3rd cousin whose dad is from the united arab emirates I know her personally and met her a few times, So it’s possible that is her fathers line, i’m still not sure how this works.
A other idea I have is that we always thought my dad had Mediterranean in him, he was very olive skin tonned specially when out in the sun so maybe thats where the middle easten comes from.
I’m in two minds if i should contact the people who i’ve been matched with has what do I say to them?
“Hi i’m your 3rd cousin from England” Once I’ve gone has far has I can with my family tree then maybe I will has it will fill in some of the blanks specially on the Irish side and some of the scottish.
It’s a long process but I would recommend people to do it has it is really intresting.
