I received my DNA results today. According to ancestry, I am 40% Central European, 34% British Isles, 14% Eastern European, 10% Scandinavian, and 2% Uncertain.Besides not showing a particular part of my well documented heritage (native american), there was another part that surprised me.
I think it's neat that the pins on the map, show where your ancestors were born and such, but I've noticed I don't have one single ancestor who was born, or at least pinned, in the Eastern Europe portion of my dna, which is a huge chunk of DNA. This includes modern day Poland, Greece, Macedonia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Moldova, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Belgarus, Kosovo. I really have no idea as to where to begin in finding HOW I managed to have such a big connection...since I cannot find anyone in my tree with any significance or ties to that area... did this situation happen with anyone else? I'm finding it interesting... and maybe, just maybe it might have something to do with a few lines in the family that I haven't been able to trace back any further, being that there have been orphans and adoptions, and the paper trail ends, and we don't know anything else on them. I'm not sure. If anyone knows how to begin looking into this, I'd sure appreciate it. Thank you!!
