Have you done a DNA test?

It’s been very interesting GrowStuff. My Aberdeenshire cousins and I have done a lot of research over the years. We spent a lot of time in records offices and university collections, going back to the source, as it where. The DNA results have fitted in well with what we found. I’m very interested in the lives of the ordinary men and women, and the social history behind it all.

I did mine and confirmed rumours which I was unable to do any other way
My DGF was brought up by his DGP because his own parents, his big sister and her boyfriend, were young and unmarred.
They subsequently married but he remained with his DGP. (His birth certificate lies!)
His biological father came from the Scottish Borders where I now live.
Ancestry put me in contact with hordes of cousins from the Scottish Borders.
I'm a mix too. Mostly Irish and Scottish but with additions of Jewish, and SE Asia. No English at all which I find odd.

My results are English Irish Scottish Welsh and Central Asia. Surprised about the Central Asian result.

I was amazed by mine. I am only 6% British. Mostly Scandinavian. No idea where that came from. My maiden name is a variation of a French name. Very much a Heinz 57.
