Ancestry/Genealogy

I figured it might help me break through on some of my brick walls and I was right. I thought it was totally worth the cost though maybe others might not have as much luck with their results.

The thing that made it all worthwhile was to find proof that I am, indeed, my father's daughter, despite what my sisters say! (Linked with 95% accuracy as a cousin to other DNA members linking to his lines.)

I'm 82% British Aisles, which is no surprise. Most of it is probably Scottish. A little surprising is the 5% Scandinavian and a bigger surprise is the 5% Finnish/Volga-Ural. I have zero people in my tree from Scandinavia or Finland/Russia. They probably migrated to Europe earlier than my tree goes back. And what happened to my German lines? I guess DNA doesn't always pass down. Maybe I lost my German DNA.

Aside from confirming a lot of lines I had in the tree with my DNA results, I was able to find a link to a line I'd been researching for years. Info on them was really sparse. I had put together a theoretical tree with all the little scraps of info I found. I had with tons of evidence but no proof, which was really frustrating. The test connected me to a predicted 4th to 8th cousin who tied into my theoretical tree perfectly! That was pretty exciting to find.

I'm enjoying the DNA test results. I'd pretty much run out of places to look on the lines I'm interested in, so it's great to have a lot of new clues to investigate.
