ancestry is a strange thing
Nov. 22nd, 2024 12:15 amyears ago my brother did the ancestry.com thing just for the hell of it and had some interesting results.
it said we were less than 3% from finland, around 6% from france or germany, less than 1% from greece, less than 1% from india & the rest was Polish and that part of europe.
over the years they have refined their data and we lost everything except the Polish & that part of europe.
well, after a few years of not looking he signed in last week. we are like 92% Polish, slovak & that area, 6% russian, & 2% norwegian(?!).
it's possible the norwegian comes from some viking. poland has a coastline on the baltic sea. plus, vikings went up rivers where they could.
if we hit the lottery, we want to have someone look up our family history. many years ago our mom tried to do it with her family, but no one wanted to talk about the family history.
