I took a DNA test and the picture is my results. I thought it would be fun to share with everyone. Does anyone want to share theirs? 🙂

Fascinating - this is the first one I’ve seen so thankyou for sharing it. Do you feel the results are reflective of your background as you know it?
 
Yes mostly. The Polish, British, and German I wasn’t surprised at seeing. I guess a little surprised that I have Swiss in me but I guess not really since German and Swiss people are obviously similar. Seeing that I have Iberian and Sardinian DNA was really interesting, never would have expected that. Especially the Sardinian, I mean, how did that get in there? I’ve never heard anyone in my family claim Sardinian ancestry and as far as I’m aware they’re a very unique group of Europeans genetically and isolated on an island off the coast of Italy and France. As for the trace of East Asian in me, I highly suspect that has something to do with having some Native American in me.

What is also interesting is that siblings of the same mother and father can have widely different results from ancestral DNA, which only confirms how unique every person is.
 
This image illustrates my genealogy according to what they found in my DNA. I can tell you the British, Eastern European, and German are all spot on timeline wise about what my family has said concerning out ancestry. But never knowing I had southern European DNA in me this char illustrates how far back I had southern European ancestors.

I had mine done. 54% Irish, rest mostly European, not a surprise. Yes, it is interesting that siblings are not the same. Triplets are not even the same!
 
I didn’t take one, but my brother did, so I figured my results would be somewhat similar.
My brothers results were quite similar to yours, except for the Spanish/Portuguese section. Instead he got Eastern European Jewish.
 
I don’t, for me personally, see any risk. I haven’t done anything, nor do I plan to do anything law enforcement would need my dna for.
 
I doubt I’m going to live long enough for any of those things to really effect me. But my closest relatives on my chart are my cousins’ kids and I’m more concerned for them.
 
I’m having a hard time getting a good screenshot of my results but they wasn’t really surprising. Except for the Tula oblast in Russia, but when i checked just now, it’s gone. Bummer. The Irish should surprise me but it doesn’t.
 
I won’t share my results but one interesting thing I learned was that Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry usually means that one is likely to inherit rare genetic diseases unique to that group. Up until my test, rumors were running around my family that we descend from Jews, and I proved to them that we are 0% Jewish.
