Hi Ladies
Genealogy is one of my hobbies and also involves attending Celtic/Irish and Scottish Highland events. My dad's paternal line is Scottish. they came over from Port on Monteith Scotland in 1821 to Renfrew County Ontario. I sponsored my youngest brother in the Family DNA testing. We came back with one really close match who was from the Ft Williams area of Scotland back in mid 1700's. the furthest I can go back on that line is about mid to late 1700s in Port on Monteith. I cant find the connection to this match or to Dr David Livingston(e) whom we're suppose to be related
www.clanlivingstone.info Clan MacLea (Livingstone). at Highland Games I've attended I've sponsored a clan tent for this line. We're a small clan but one of the oldest
for my other family lines...mom's paternal line cant get much of anywhere, its Ukrainian and very hard to trace. Cant get past my great grandparents, maybe a little but not much. her maternal line a little further. dad's maternal line not very far. I currently use Family Tree Maker and Ancestry. and instead of just having my direct lines and blood relations the tree is extended family and their extended families, etc. so its a never ending project. I think its currently at 70,000 entries or more. Although just getting my current living members to provide their info would be a big help.
My boyfriend tried out the 23 and me one... and it's awesome.
I want to do it one day.. maybe for the holidays. It is kind of pricy, but it gives a good amount of information. The only thing is, though, you won't get to see your father's side of things in detail if you are a female... lol
I'm about 43% Ashkenazi. I didn't really consider my "Jewishness" to be similar to my being German and Irish lol however, when I say I am part Austrian (Austrian Jews) it's part of being Ashkenazi, I guess =p Interesting...
But yeah.. I'm 99.7% European! I have DNA from all over Europe.
Yes, quite a bit. It works better if you can get your dad to also do it.. if you are a female (I didn't do that). I am missing extra details from his side, but nothing I can't live without lol other than that... it's fun. It told me I was likely to be lactose intolerant and that I have neanderthal traits for less hair on the back xD And the DNA from my mom's side goes back 35k years ago... at least that's what they know for now based on the comparisons they have available so far.
It goes on sale during the holidays, if you want to try it out... that's when I bought it.
