The ethnicity estimates are about 50% accurate, but your matches are nearly 100% accurate

I had the same thing. Was told my whole life that we had a Native American ancestor, yet the test came back 0%. Same for Irish. Not a drop.

My mom did a DNA test, she was 70 Scottish, 20 percent German, and rest European after being told her entire life she was native American


Well, if she was born in America she is in fact 100% native American.

Back in elementary, I remember all of the white boys that hunted always claimed they were part indian. I doubt any of them were.

I had no idea about the Russian and Scandinavian ancestry and I don't know where the hell that came from


I'm no expert on genetics but I'd guess it came from one of your ancestors fricking someone from Russia or Scandinavia.

Our big sister used to tell our baby sister she was adopted. Saying she was native american is similar. Not one of us.
On the other hand she could have run for us senate.

Sounds like a bunch of ghetto people were fricking back in the day. Congrats



lol... .ok i guess... must've been one diverse ghetto.

Seriously though, one of my great great grandparents was probably Russian, but I've never seen any Vladimir in all the research my mom has done.

But for the concern about cloning and other nefarious shite being done with my DNA, I would like to give this a shot. I know I have two full blooded Indians in my family tree (Cherokee and Choctaw great-great grandmothers)

jewish and black! I realize it's a small percentage, but there's a joke in there somewhere. Did you know there was any African in your ancestry?

The mailman isn't listed in the family tree.


Seriously, though, I wonder how many siblings have done this and all had similar results... except that one that doesn't look like the others. It should lead to interesting conversations with mom.

Jewish is a religion. Not a race. Any black person could be a black Jew simply by converting to Judaism.

Seriously, why does every brotha and sista think this?



man, I don't know! But you're right, pretty much every black person I knew growing up knew there was some indian in the family tree.

My only guess is or one or both of their parents were slaves and they didn't actually know for sure.

Not necessarily, could still depend on the father's contributions.
