soon find, if they have English background, that there is a lot of German and Dutch in some areas along the North Sea and Channel. I have a bunch of both, and no recent ancestors from the area. Mine are from the early 1600's migrations to America. 75% of my background, with the other 25% being from the mountains of Central Italy during the late 1880's. When I do presentations, I tell my audience right off, that those nice genealogies do not account for when Grandma had a little fling with the next door neighbor. Get your dna checked.
