99% European Jewish

After much discussion and persuasion, I sent in a DNA sample to Ancestry.  There are two main components
a. an analysis of the geographic area of your ancestors
b. a list of people who 'match'

There were 3 potential 2nd cousins, many potential 3rd cousins.  Only one person I recognized and she, indeed, is a third cousin.

I had long maintained that the geographic analysis would be nonsense.  Because I thought that I had a very homogeneous ancestry.  I knew 5 generations and more - all European Jews.  There would be no startling scandinavian, african american or indigenous ancestry.

My genealogy group finally convinced me, you gotta do it!

So I did.

And the ethnic ancestry came out ....  99% European Jewish.  A surprise NOT!!!!
