Has Anyone Had Surprise From A Genetic Report?

Noel7 · ‎03-09-2010

I only have my mother’s genes available for testing. It just came back as 100% European, overwhelmingly British and Irish. Nothing interesting until I scanned down and found Sardinia included from awhile back!

It’s a beautiful large Island adjacent to Italy but autonomous from it. DD and I have been reading about the history.

Has anyone else had a genetic surprise?

@Noel7 The Irish settled the Southern part of Italy way back when which is why you may have a relative or two down that way.

I have a sneaking suspicion I have Irish in me even though my grandparents are all from Southern Italy and France. Two of my grandfather's brothers had red hair so, if I ever test myself, I wouldn't be shocked to find Ireland in there somewhere.

Glad that you are back, Noel. Hope all is well. Sending you gentle hugs.

Hi @Laura14

I hadn’t heard that, thanks for the information. I recently found out I am also 12% French, I thought that might be the connection. Sardinia is below Corsica which has had a large French presence.

I love this kind of research, it’s fascinating!

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Thank you @ROMARY

The cough is still bad, I’m not sleeping much because of that.

@Noel7 I'm very curious! I am debating on doing it as a gift to myself since they are all on sale now.

I looked up Italy's history since I was so curious about how an Italian had red hair. My grandparent's family is an Italian from Naples who sailed into Nice, France and picked up a French chick. They married and sailed for America.

Very cool stuff!

Hi @goldensrbest

I thought I might have because of one family name, but no.
