General Wife got me an Ancestry DNA test for Xmas

Let's not forget the 3% Welsh!
Mine are pretty boring, too. I was hoping to get something I didn’t know - the biggest surprise was that they even split Italy.
The real surprise was finding a mutual relative with my sister on our maternal side because we don’t have the same mother. We thought maybe but still were shocked to find a few.

Have you rechecked it recently?
Are you suggesting her DNA may have changed?
As more people do tests they can further refine results. I don't know about ancestry, but 23 and me changes frequently.
That’s from this morning and I just did the test a few weeks back. My 23&Me has changed a few times, though.
That's a pretty big chunk of land, do you know more personally?
One thinks of Italy as a long standing nation with a long history, but it ain't so.
When the western Roman empire went belly up around 476, AFAIK what is now Italy wasn't unified up until 1870.
The North was part of the German Holy Roman empire for a long long time, while the south wasn't. And it was and still is heavily influenced by France and Germany later.
My sister does, I’ll have to check the actual chart. That’s the side we share. She also had our grandma test at the same time she did.
High school Kathryn passed world history only because my teacher’s idea of teacher was having us outline whole chapters and I was not about that back then so I just used OCR to scan my boyfriend’s outlines and change them. I definitely wish I had paid attention, though, for stuff like this. I am going to take world history in the fall, though, so I’m excited to actually retain knowledge.
I identify as Dutch with a little Eskimo and Polynesian as my dwarf friends
Holy fuck. You are white.
And we have the peanut gallery chiming in
Word, I was just making jokes
My old man used ancestory he never knew who his biological father was. He was pretty lucky to have matched with a sibling, she actually reached out to him, it was really great it was something that had bothered him his entire life and he got to learn about it before he passed
23&Me offers a lot of health related genetic traits and reports. It’s really interesting - for example, macular degeneration runs in my family and it was something 23&Me found and reported to me. I haven’t gotten the Ancestry traits yet but it appears they’re not as expanded as 23.
Ancestry had a hard split down the center and no fraction of percentages, whereas 23&Me does.
