So I got partial result for my genetic DNA test tonight. I didn’t get the breakdown of my ancestry yet but they did show me who I was related to on the site.

When Chris did his, he turned up with four matches, one who was a third cousin that he had actually met.

Mine turned up 45 matches.

I don’t know any of them and most are very distant, fifth cousins and such, but several came up third cousins.

None of them have my last name which I find a bit disappointing.

Of those who have pictures on their profiles (about a third), ALL of them are White except from one mixed-looking guy.

I’m not sure what to make of that to be honest.

All of Chris’s family connections were Black.

Maybe I’m less exotic than I thought.

Anyway I should get my ancestry breakdown in a day so I’m really eager to see what I’ve inherited and from where. I hope I’m not in for any rude awakenings.
