Ancestry/Genealogy

Based on where my grandparents/great grandparents came from, I am:

1/2 Luxembourgisch
1/4 Irish
1/8 French
1/16 Swiss
1/16 German

Based on Ancestry's analysis, I am 100 percent European (guess the story about the First American ancestor was fantasy). The breakdown was:

52 percent Western Europe
24 percent Ireland
11 percent Italy/Greece
8 percent Portugal/Spain
5 percent Great Britain
< 1 percent trace Scandinavia and Eastern Europe

I'm very happy that I did this because the results are fascinating. I had no clue about the Southern European roots and 19 percent is a respectable percentage. This leads me to wonder why I'm an extremely fair-skinned blonde. Like you, I didn't want particularly want to know what is going to kill me or the Neanderthal stuff.
