AncestryDNA Results!
Imagine my surprise when I checked my e-mail this evening and saw that my AncestryDNA results were up! I thought I had at least another two weeks to wait but am happy that it didn't take as long as I thought it would. My pie was surprisingly colorful:
I was expecting a higher percentage of British Isles and not as much Scandinavian as I was assigned. While I have a Danish great-great-grandmother, I imagine some of my English ancestors (especially those from Lincolnshire) have been classified as Scandinavian.
The Middle Eastern result surprised me until I read that is included the Eastern Mediterranean Coast - which is where my Italian ancestors were from. I think my Southern European and the Uncertain portions also come from my Italian grandmother.
My matches were pretty much what I was expecting: not too many and most of those that I did get were thanks to my Colonial New England lines.
There was one interesting match which warrants more research. My Masons are a big mystery and one of my closest matches also had a mystery Mason... a few counties west of where my Masons were in Indiana. Hmmm...
