My DNA

If a test was done through Ancestry DNA then it should show a list of relatives too BlueBelle ranging from possible first cousins down to more obscure relatives.

Then you can link in with other family trees through this.

The more people who get tested then the more links there can be.

My brother never knew his father and suffered terrible bullying at school for being a “bastard” . He took a DNA test and coupled with a little bit of info left by mum he traced his father (deceased) he also had siblings. They did not want a relationship but provided photos. He also found out he has distant royal relations. He said he that would be a poke in the eye for the boys who bullied him!
My brother never spoke much of his youth (he is older than me) but at 70 years old has a new found confidence and identity!

BlueBell it only give north Western Europe

Never had this done, is that all the information you got ? The bit you posted last evening 78% England wales and north west Europe which doesn’t tell you a lot really Does it give you percentages for those different catergaries I suppose north west Europe could be Iceland or could it be all the Nordic countries ?

Hang on Annie. It might be that some time in the future other relatives take a DNA test and provide the link you’re looking for.

I am so disappointed, linked with only one branch of my family, my fathers maternal line, all from South Wales, nothing from my North Wales family and it was in hope of contact with this line that I had the DNA tested. I was linked with 1 second cousin and he and I have been working together on the South Wales line for years .
One line out of four.

It is very accurate. I found a woman living in Canada and we had a grandmother in common. My mother and her mother were half-sisters and neither knew the other existed ?

Lazigirl if you have half siblings who have also had their DNA analysed by the same company you could well find links. Same with half cousins etc.

You're Welsh.

The world has been going a long while so I suppose everybody's ancestors come from somewhere different if you go back far enough.

I am toying with having this done too but I have some reservations. I fear I will turn out to be very Welsh with some Scottish blood in the mix . I have no information about my birth father because my mother wasn't willing to talk about him. Is it possible that I will find out that I may have close relatives ie half siblings that I don't know about? I don't know what sort of information you receive or how accurate it is. Perhaps those that have had it done can say?

Jalima. ?

and breathe a bit of fire

Mine's half English, half Welsh
no wonder I feel a bit disjointed

Don’t forget - English men place their wives on a pedestal,
Welsh men place their wives on their flag . ?

No, those doughty Welsh women probably repelled them!
or fed them on laverbread

Elegran interesting, I bet Jemima Fawr was a descendent of Vikings

Jelima so they didn’t get into the Welsh valleys ?

I'm sure the Welsh ladies were more than a match for any Viking too !
That's why they only left their mark on the fringes, eg Skomer, Skokholm, Worms Head, Swansea

The Viking ladies were probably more than a match for mere Baptists and Calvinists. Any raping may not have been a male to female affair.

True Cherry so true ?

Ah but the Welsh spirit -and bloody mindedess meant that you got straight back on again

Cherry proof I am not Viking thank you . I did keep falling of my bicycle, and the first was a three wheeler ?

Cherry

The land of our Fathers ???????

Elegran please, I come from quite a long line of Welsh Baptist ministers

And my Anglesey lot were Calvanists

?

And ,The Viking ladies should have stayed at home not coming to Wales and seducing my Male ancestors

Annie we are related!!

You are as Welsh as your beautiful hills and valleys and arias ?

But, Annie, maybe it was wicked Welshmen raping innocent Viking maidens?
