Subject: BS: my mysterous dna
just got my ancestry.com dna back.

44% irish.
9% british isles
30% west europe
11% scandihoovian
4% east europe
1% west asia

I think that is all. Actually, being that high irish surprises me although i am all irish on my father's side. but two names are french of my 4 irish great grandparents. so i expect that is part of west europe. i know on my mother's side she is a combination of welsh, cornish, mixed british probably, dutch and native american. why does native american not show at all, when i should be either 1/16 or 1/32...why so little british isles? why scandinavian when i have never heard of a scandinavian ancestor (I do realize they made courtesy calls to Ireland on a regular basis). Oh yes, 1% iberian..i would have thought that would be higher since my father looked like and said he was black irish, which despite all sorts of definitions one of the main ones is spanish blood.
