An Adventure Sparked by a Surprising DNA test
Earlier this year, my entire family did our DNA tests. Before mailing my tube to the lab, I wrote down what I predicted my genetic makeup to be. All of my life, I was told that I was German and Norweigan with a little bit of French and English mixed in. However, when I received my DNA results, I was shocked.
What did I find?
Although my last name is German of origin and my first name also very German, the largest percentage of my genetic makeup is not from Germany. With 38% of my DNA coming from the Emerald Isle, I’m more than a wee bit Irish. With this news, I feel like an Irish adventure awaits.
Wanna come to Ireland with me in October 20-26th, 2019?
