The first of my DNA tests are done. Oddly, I didn't get an email and it's not showing matches so it must still be processing but there is a map that according to their FAQ gives me a rough combination of 50% from each parent. How not a shock that I'm 100% European lol

One thing that I am surprised about is that the percentage of British Isles is so low since most of my work on fleshing out Dad's side shows that most of the ancestors go back to the UK. I'm interested in the 7% Sothern Europe and WOW at 26% Scandinavian with another 5% in Finland and Northern SIberia?

Hopefully ancestry.com comes through with their testing so I can compare the two.

Did all your British ancestors come from either the north or the east?

Also aren't you British royalty? And your surname is French? So your arrival on British soil is likely to be 1066 and probably be FrenchNorman and FrenchNorman is basically Scandinavian, at which point in 1066 your lot will have married the existing aristocracy in England, who are very Scandi themselves. British royalty is never really ethnic originally British, the Royal households of Britain have a tendency to be Nordic hostile takeovers.

Fascinating. Do the percentages have anything to do with how recently that DNA entered the bloodline? It will be interesting to see what Ancestry comes up with.

Very interesting. At least it's that mystery solved!
