My wife and I and a daughter have had our DNA analyzed. The daughter had
just the expected percentages, so I believe in it! I think it was a firm in
Florida. As I recall, there were about 5 breakouts:
European
Native American
Sub Saharan African
Oriental
Something else maybe -- I forget
My wife was far more interesting than I, who turned out to be boring 100%
English. But I believe that the tracking only goes back reliably for about
5 generations at most, at least for the common tests that are advertised. I
have seen an enhancement that will break out EUROPEAN into countries, but I
think it is still limited at about 5 generations. I need another four or so
to prove linkage to Native America blood. Any ideas on if that can even be
done?
