German, Irish or Swedish
Have you heard the story that you have royalty in your family linage? Or perhaps you have Native American heritage in your blood. But just how is that determined? What does the DNA testing services provide in terms of your ethnic background?
The testing companies are constantly refining their ethnicity estimates based on updated testing. While I can trace a number of my ancestors to Switzerland and Germany, I seem to show up with more UK in my heritage. It is important to understand the basics of recombination as well. A good dose of history is another plus!
In the end, this is a great "coffee shop" conversation topic.
