[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 11027549, member: 649"]As already acknowledged, typical DNA tests are autosomal DNA tests and do show the paternal side... hmmm, wonder why your "cousins" didn't show up? My sister and I had a small surprise with our DNA tests (my brothers wouldn't/won't do one)... we're 1% Ashkenazi Jewish! Since my mother did a DNA test and showed none of this heritage, we know that it came from dad. We're quite proud of it. :) I'm also 1% Spanish, through my mother, another pleasant little surprise! I'm 51% "Central and Eastern Europe" and the rest is mostly "Germanic Europe" and "England & Northwestern Europe". DNA testing is such an interesting thing to do, despite it's imprecisions, and I've no regrets. In fact, during my UK trip this past July, I met up with a "second cousin once-removed" found through Ancestry dot com and now I've a new friend. :)[/QUOTE]
