Weird News

My grandfather wrote in his autobiography that my grandmothers family had Jewish blood that made her family angry. My sample showed he was right, he picked the wrong country - he said Germany - the test said Netherlands, and my father brought me Jewish genes from Belgium. And from someone somewhere 1% Middle-Eastern/Jewish blood.

I think these tests are a good way to help some of us come to terms with identity and race.

My father's family had detailed stories of our native American ancestors, that we were Cherokee. I remember telling a Navajo man I worked with in Phoenix that I was part Cherokee and he started laughing, "All you white people are part Cherokee!"

The test said: Not a drop of any native/American blood..
