What's your ancestry

I actually took a dna test it came back 56% Norwegian, 23% Swede and then in graduating order Scottish, French, and small whole percents of English, and Native American. Obviously those percents are estimated. I did do a decent family tree build and it seems to reflect fairly accurately on the percents.

Half Irish and half Italian through both of my parents; my great-grandparents were part of the first waves of immigrants that sailed to Ellis Island! I also recently found out that I may or may not be a señorita with a tiny drop of (European) Spanish blood. ¡Olé!

Western African (Not sure where, specifically) and some Puerto-Rican(Indigenous). I have little Cherokee and even smaller English ancestry(Thanks Masa). I do get confused a lot with Polynesians due to my features and build. One Hawaiian guy spoke to me in his native language and I told him I didn't understand haha.

TL;DR: Nigger mutt with a surfboard

Genetically, Scottish from my dad's side and Irish from my mother's.
Although thanks to a weird mix of accents, I've had people ask me what country I'm from, even though I've lived here pretty much all my life. My dad has a hybrid Scottish/New Zealand accent that got morphed into an English one in the army, my mother has an Irish accent that, again, turned English through exposure, and I've ended up with a mix of all those, as well as a little bit of German from the years my parents were stationed there.

Took a 23andMe test years ago (had a friend who worked at the company when it was still a startup). ~84% European (a TON of subgroups), ~13% Native American (my decently-sized Hispanic/Latino background accounts for this), the remainder "other". Absolutely 0% Jew, which is really funny to me (racist Asian immigrants thought I was a Jew based on my hair/beard in the past).

There is a small 1-2% Nig-nog DNA depending on the test, which actually makes sense (part of the "white" part of my 'fam did have connections in the Southern USA, so you get the whole "Nigger in the woodpile" thing). I believe that 1-2% explains my love of malt liquor and larger women. 😎

My last name is Irish but I also have English, Scottish, German, and supposedly Cherokee. I probably have more than that. Being a history nerd I have put some thought into 23&me. On my dad's side my great grandfather Samuel Chase was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Joshua Barney who is also a grandfather was a naval officer. A woman named Kiki Preston was a great granddaughter of both of them. She was an socialite who had a relasionship with Prince George, Duke of Kent and might of had a kid with him that was covered up. I think I'm also related to William Ross Postell. A helped design the Confederate flag. On my mothers there was a Cherokee Chief named Standing Turkey who is supposedly my great grandfather.
