Okay.....my Ancestry DNA results are in:.
So....as it turns out, my results say that I am 46% descended from western Europeans, 41% from the Irish, 8% from Scandinavia, 4% Great Britain and 1% Finland/Northwest Russia.
Some of you Neighbors (most of you) are going to be disappointed because it doesn't indicate any american indian ancestors in my DNA. This may be simply because a particular Gene skipped me (I DO look like my Mom)...or because there aren't many American Indian DNA samples in the database yet. Personally, I believe the family stories.
The DNA data also connected me to 1518 (wow) 4th cousins and above (4th to 1st) who have had the DNA test. I have looked at a few of them and HAVE SEEN some american indian in some of the Faughn descendants. I am going to look at this over the next few weeks and I will report back to you on what my conclusions are.
I will also try to figure out how to make my Ancestry Family tree public so that anyone can look at it. I think you will have to join Ancestry to view it...but there is a free membership level available if all you want to do is look.
Stay tuned.
For the Austian ( Rebecca Austian ) and Kimbleys ( Penny Armstrong-Frizzell )... I am, obviously, just as much Austian as I am Neighbors and what I have looked at so far indicates that I got the Irish and western european from both Austian and Neighbors ancestors.
