Update on my 23 and me

Aug 15, 2018 21:50

I went on the 23 and me website and I found out that my results had another breakdown. So it specifically broken down some broadly areas to different areas of Asia and Europe. I now know I have Japanese, French, German, British, Irish, and South Asia. This just blows my mind because I literally thought my ancestors were from Europe, China and the ( Read more... )

So interesting! How much did it cost?

I think I spent around $60 to $70 on it. You could shop around you may find something cheaper.

Wow! Very interesting. :)

Not quite sure why they throw Germans and French together there, though....

I think they threw the French and Germans together because they are right next to each other. They could possibly have the same blood line. The same with British and Irish.

I wonder back in the era that they started interracial married at the same time between 5 to 8 generations ago. They were all pure blood at that time. Also wondered if there was a war. I wish I knew....

If you asked some Germans and French, I'm quite sure they would not agree, but of course it's true. ;)

Hmm. That would be very interesting to know indeed. :)

I'd really be interested in such a test as well. As far as I know I'm "100%" German, but I totally don't look like it. A lot of people ask me if I'm Spanish or Italian. ;) Would be interesting to know indeed.

WHOA!!!! Now that is really interesting and specific!!

Yeah they really broke it down even to the generation to when the person who was 100% was living. Most of them were between the 5 to 8 generation. That was between the 1700s to 1850s. So I wonder what was going on in life back then. Maybe a lot of interracial marriage or wars. They were all at the same time. I wish I knew their story.

I also want to know what the heck is broadly Chinese and Southeast Asian and broadly Japanese and Korean. I mean I definitely know I have Japanese because it’s a category in itself. So does it mean I have Chinese and Korean too but it says broadly? The broadly throws me off that one day I will have to call them and ask them what the heck is broadly? Is it a yes or no? I’m guessing yes I am.
