Anonymous Coward User ID: 74012101 United States 01/08/2018 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This guy is called "Stroebele", yet his DNA test doesn't show german. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76089793 "I have church records from the LDS that prove my German "Stroebele" ancestors lived in southern Baden-Wurttemberg beginning around the year 1700." [link to forums.familytreedna.com] This is where everybody goes wrong. Just because a family lived somewhere for a time, it doesn't mean you're ethnically from that region. If I move to Italy and stay there for 10 years, my kids won't show Italian, even if the records show I lived there for a decade. Use your brains, people. So true, we humans are constantly migrating. This is where it pays to get into the actual LDS record, ie the microfilm, which is listed with the online info. When it comes to Germans though, they were extremely thorough in their record keepings, assuming Napoleon hadn't destroyed them. He loved burning churches. The Stroeble record above can be ordered through a local FHC. Then you find the record and read it, (say birth/baptismal record) it will list a treasure trove of info, parents, grandparents, occupations, Aunts and Uncles etc. Where they were from. Those others will usually be sprinkled liberally throughout that same film, painting a picture of solid roots in the area, or not. This is always a preponderance of the evidence thing anyways. |

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

Quoting: Deplorable Azila_Again I'm not German at all. Predominantly Scandinavian, with Irish/Scottish as the second most prominent. No American Indian either, as I was also told. Big shocker for me. Anyone else do this? For me the biggest surprise was 30 % Scandinavian. No oral or paper traditional of that on either side. Best guess is that Norse may have snuck in with invasions of the british Isles. My Indian was verified at very close to the 1/8th level we thought. |

User ID: 55526237 United States 01/08/2018 03:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did the Ancestry DNA one. Had been told we were Welsh and 1/8 Cherokee Indian. Test for me and my siblings came back mostly Irish and 0% Native American. Was all European with a small amount of central Mongolia. I am assuming it means I am a decendant of Genghis MFing Khan. Quoting: LoneStarRising I'm seeing a common trend here. Many of us who know we have Native American ancestors are coming back with none in DNA. Which means that the Native Americans were fooled out of their land and then killed in the 1622 Indian Massacre before they could claim DNA ties to the King of England. I think for some reason people wanted to claim Native American heritage when it did not exist. Not sure why. Both my Mom and Dad were told they were1/8 Cherokee. I have heard this from several people. Thought they were of Cherokee heritage but came back 0%. Have you looked at the old Cherokee pictures? They look Jewish! And some have turned out to have Jewish DNA Jesus Wept |

User ID: 55526237 United States 01/08/2018 03:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, mine came back consistent with my father's ancestry (almost entire Dutch back 10 generations, so it showed West/Northern European ) but does not match my mother's ancestry back 10 generations - all of her ancestors came from Ireland (with one from Wales who moved to Ireland and married) beginning in the early 1600's. None of that showed on my DNA report, only "Scandinavian." Quoting: galvanic I also had 7% Balkan (?) and - here you go, doubters - 1% Nigerian. Have a feeling that one got tossed in for flavor by whoever made the report. Having traced my ancestry and the locations of birth of all my ancestors back to the 1500's, I am really half Dutch (father) and half Irish (mother), for all practical purposes. Maybe, the test is confusing irish with Scandinavian. Same thing happened to me. 17% Scandinavian and no Irish, when I'm sure I have a Irish great grandfather and no scandinavian ancestor that I'm aware off. I don't have the slightest idea where my 15% native north american is coming from either. Read up on the ancient history of Ireland. They came from Scotia and Egypt and Spain and mixed with Picts thought to be possibly an Eskimo relative. Then in came French, Danish and Viking raiders. Jesus Wept |

User ID: 76088024 United Kingdom 01/08/2018 05:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The tests have a % margin for error.... This is what we had to do in physics experiments at college...there is always a % error ..We used to calculate it. Also the DNA is not exactly divided up ...it is much more random... You get half from each parent......but them it is a bigger bundle than appears in your own DNA ... My Mum once said ,before the DNA tests...to me ..What is it like to carry those genes and not have them yourself? It is much more random ,which is good ....God is very clever is he not? You only get into trouble if you marry /breed to close and then the genes produce nasty illnesses ... That is what happened to the Pharos and is happening to the Pakistanis here now....some people are slow...I feel so sorry for their off spring. Anyway you may not know that the Normans were from Scandinavia . I think that is how some from UK have Scandinavian genes ...rather than Vikings raping and pillaging..... The old Lords of the Manor also had Right d signore .....spelling wrong ...which meant he had sex with all the new brides in his manor before their new husband did. I do not know how correct/ how much of it went on , that was but it is mentioned......in writings . Ancestry results are a guide to help look in the correct records ...if there are any..... They helped me as I was surprised to find a reasonable chunk of Scandinavian and it made me widen my search and I did find a Norman link through the records ..... |
