A couple months ago I decided to find out what ethnicity I may be made from. This morning I opened my email and there were the results. Staring me straight in the face. I didn’t have any huge surprises but there were a couple countries listed that I didn’t expect.
I grew up knowing I was about half German and half Swedish. For the most part that is how the test came out. But I had a few little surprises.
Here are the results
Europe West 42%- This is comprised of France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.
Scandinavia 42%- This is comprised of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Baltic States
Europe East 8%- This is a surprise to me. Countries comprised of Poland, Slovakia, Czech, Austria, Russia, Hungry, Slovenia, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Bosnia, Croatia
Then the little percentages come- as little as they are they still fascinate me.
Ireland 3%- I was always told I was a small part of Irish. So this was a good confirmation.
Italy/Greece 2%- Surprise
Northwest Russia 1%- Surprise
Great Britain 1%- This was a surprise I thought it would have been higher.
Caucasus 1%- This was a surprise. Countries comprised of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Jordan, Kuwait, Palestine and Romania.
So over all I knew the big amounts. I had a friend in high school that always said I had gyspy eyes. So when Romania showed up a couple times maybe that is true. It is fascinating and I am so glad I did this test.
