I bet this has been asked a thousand times but I just did my Ancestry DNA and my results were very interesting indeed. I am mostly Northern European, Mediterranean and Native American. My Dad’s side has the NA and Irish. My Irish came back <1%.
I worked on my family tree and sure enough, I found a census from 1900 with my Great Granfather and Grandmother names listed on the St Regis Indian Reservation in Franklin, NY. I was happy to find some lineage though my blood quatrum is not very high.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

That is great to have someone who is keeping accurate records. I’ve had to hunt and scrape for my information. I refuse to pay a subscription fee for information that should be available to everyone. Ancestry is becoming a monopoly.

On my Mom’s side their is Baltic, Mediterranean. If you upload the raw data to gedmatch.com they break it down even more. It is amazing. I will look for my graphs.

it never crossed my mind to do that, but i know several mylotters are into it
maybe because our history is more of colonization by other countries
so i have a feeling what would be common in our country would be traces of spanish and chinese blood.

After I uploaded my raw data to gedmatch.com (free) I got a clearer picture of how mixed I am. It is an eye opener and so very interesting.
