I have invested hundreds of hours and get great joy from it.

I’m of mostly Scottish and Viking type decent. Its under DNA Communities, hope this helps. Prior to my DNA results, verified family records show us in this country since the 1400’s on some lines but that community out west is pure connection to an uncle that married into the community. I guess it’s entirely possible in a round about way I’m genetically kin to my aunt that my uncle married but direct linage wise, I can trace my line way back. Funny how it works.

So if it helps you any to find this info, scroll down the part under your “ethnicity estimate”



My ole lady:

I don’t know what report on ancestryDNA you’re referring to. All I’ve seen is geographic areas of the world where there are common segments of DNA. My wife’s said 100% Irish, nothing about Irish immigrants during the great famine, etc.

Thanks. I only see the European communities. Interesting you see where people immigrated-to in the USA.

I found that my grandfather’s (who I knew as a child) uncle came to the USA. Digging deeper I found my g-grandfather joined his brother in Chicago from 1909-12, then returned home to Moravia.

From ancestry.com I found the names in Chicago and using Google found a 2nd cousin with my grandfather’s last name. I called him and we’ve been in communication.

The funny thing is my Mom and Aunt never heard their grandfather had been in the USA!

Already have documented lineage all the way back to the US 1650’s. Came over from England. Pretty cool,

Bill, its only communities, yours just happen to be in Europe. I don’t think any outside blood married my american blood after the 1700’s.

I’ve got a photo of most of my relatives headstones since the 1400’s, deeds, history books,and birth records. My family has been here so long its not even worth my time other than a “what for” to know where they came from before hitting North America. Even had a relative on the Mayflower that married a dude from a whaling colony that was here well before the pilgrims.

I actually did my dna first because my great grandmother was a whore and DNA established a positive connection of my grandfather’s real dad which matched claims and ended rumors,now verified.

I also believe firmly North America wasn’t “discovered”, people already knew it was here.
