Pure breed MUTT! šŸ¤£

Iā€™ve said it for years, Iā€™ve always known it, but I didnā€™t know the extent of it until the end of May when I finally got my test results back from the test D got me for Christmas. Just been trying to process it
..

2 of the DNA results came back much lower than I expected, and 1 was a complete shocker
33% England and Northwestern Europe (shocked at that one)
24% Scotland
18% France
9% Wales
4% Ireland
2% Nigeria
2% Cameroon, Congo & western Bantu peoples
2% indigenous Americas - North (thought would be slightly higher)
2% Germanic Europe (slightly shocked)
2% Basque (shocked)
1% Ivory Coast and Ghana
1% Eastern Bantu peoples

The African continent dnas surprised me only that there was so many alllllll over the place, and thought the German one would come back a little higher too.
The England and Northern European result was a complete shock - didnā€™t expect it at all.
Scot/Ireland/Wales - honestly not surprised - actually explains a bitā€¦šŸ¤£

Paternal side in ancestry is blowing up - think Iā€™ve already had hits and hits back about as far as my 11th great grandmother.

Maternal side is WHY Iā€™m doing this, just have to get some info from mom when I head down home in the next couple weeks.
I also must have sent an auto msg not realizing it to the half brother of my sperm donor.... Because I started getting msgs from the wife, and she was all excited to receive a msg ( cue the wtf I didnā€™t send one!?) anyway, she told her husband - he told a sister - who immediately called IT....
All before she responded to my ā€œmsgā€ . And apparently heā€™s so excited to hear from me.
I told her I am not looking to talk to him.
She confirmed what I figured though, and he doesnā€™t have much to do with social media, so safe there.

For any one whoā€™s not used Ancestry, there a tab you can use to show matches by location - and itā€™s easy to tell that my family lines definitely decided to flock to north America and stay putā€¦
There still seems a scattering of hits in the UK and a few in Europe, but North America itā€™s hard to see the map for all the dots.
No surprise siblings yet though..or childless ritch old relations šŸ¤£.

Not much else to report on. Works been good - my ā€˜newā€™ fav assistant left last month, and we have a new guy who started not long after.. hopefully now weā€™re done having staff changed for a bit now that he and the new lawyer and her assistant are settling in.
Heading home for a week at the end of the monthā€¦ Shoot me now....
