Comment on Tech Tuesday – DNA Test Results, Surprise! by JH

Well, as near as I can tell based on DNA and anthropological evidence there were two major waves of immigration into Europe before recorded history began. The first was approximately 40,000 years ago when the first modern humans began to settle the whole of Europe. The second was during the neolithic revolution. Farmers, having domesticated certain crops, from what is now Turkey, expanded into Europe around 10,000 years ago. These people mixed with the original Europeans to a greater or lesser extent, and that is my guess as to why many people of European ancestry have some relation to Persia/Turkey/Caucasus regions when they take the DNA tests.

how very interesting to read! I stumbled on this after I googled “Hagerty, Cobh” in my family tree research.

25% southern european
33% persian turkish caucacus
31 Middle Eastern
10 Central Europe
My DNA results are the result of Invasion after Invasian. No other explanation. Why are my middle eastern numbers so high?

Yes, yes! It floored me when my AncestryDNA results showed 11% Scandinavian and 0% German when I have traced several lines to Germany to the late 1600′s-early 1700′s. It did make me question AncestryDNA accuracy OR (since all of my German lines are on my Dad’s side) that there was “an issue” there. I would really rather think (and do think) it is the deep ancestry it is reading. I have noticed that many of my matches have Scandinavian roots but German ancestry as well. Darn Vikings!

Yikes, I wonder how many actual people that would turn out to be once you account for duplicates. I know I have some cousins marrying in a couple of spots. Thanks for stopping by Dale!
