My brother, along with some of his co-workers, took a DNA test and the results were really surprising. I think it's because people moved around all over the place. The results said we are 28% Irish. None of us saw this coming. The only thing I can think is that my dad's mom said she was Irish, except we all simply thought she didn't know what she was talking about because her maiden name was Wilson. Another surprise was significant amounts of French and German. None of our ancestors were thought to have come from either of those countries. Then again, like I said, people moved around a lot. All of my grandparents were born to first generation immigrants. Norwegian X Dutch on my mom's side and Luxemburg (a small country by Czechoslovakia) on my dad's side is what we thought. However, it appears my dad was half Irish and his family wandered outside of Luxemburg a lot.
Anyone else ever take a DNA test and have the results be really surprising?
