You have probably seen the commercials for ancestry.com and the DNA tests you can take in order to see "who" you are right? Well I did, and I happily took it. First because I didn't pay for it, my Mother did. She is a Genealogist, and some how my information might help her, don't ask me how because this stuff all confuses me. Secondly, I thought maybe there was a chance that we might find something interesting, as my biological father was never in my life, and I knew nothing about his side of the family.

The test kit arrived at a relatively bad time, it co-insided with my adoptive father's sudden death, so it sat on a shelf for a couple of weeks. When I finally remembered it, I got excited again. I followed all of the simple instructions, and sent it off.

The wait seemed for ever, but it was really only three to four weeks. Then I got the email.

The time had come.........

To see......

WHO AM I????.....



But before we get to that lets discuss the commercial. The person featured had something completely surprising in their background. It absolutely rocked their world. Maybe you have heard you have a small amount of Native American blood in you from a few generations back (this was a story in my family). The possibilities are endless, its so exciting!!!

I open the email, log in, and click the link that is going to lead me to my revelation!!!

100% European...... bum, bum, bum....

Seriously, I could not possibly be more white if I tried.  I am 55% Scottish/Irish, 20-ish % Scandinavian, 20-ish% Spainish/Italian.

In ions of history, how could one man, made from so many others possibly be so boring? This was my initial thought. Then I realized that I was the blood of every historically conquering civilization. So when I look at the numbers now, I see 55% Celtic, 20% Viking, and 20% Roman/Spanish Conquistador. Do you know what that equals? 100% Badass.
