At a family gathering over christmas my eldest sister suddenly announced that she'd had her dna profiled by one of those packs you send in the post. Not sure how accurate they are, but as she's my sister i figured my dna must be similar.
Anyhow, i was quite shocked at how very white we are. Normally you get a bit of your make-up from far away places, but we are pretty much your typical wasp.
30% British (i gather this is an island identity that contains enough unique dna markers to identify as from the modern UK).
29% Western European (this counts as Poland/Germany/Belgium/Netherlands/France)
28% Celtic (bit surprised by having ancient British/Gaulish blood and a lot of it)
10% Scandanavian (big surprise here)
1% Portugese (Why Portugal is different to Iberian dna not sure)
1% Finnish (Different racial group to scandanavia as language buffs will have it)
1% Turkish/Georgian/Persian (as far from europeans as we can be traced)
The mind kinda makes up stories as to how you get that particular mix of profile.
Anyone else done it?
