and not for criminal activity or because I've got somebody pregnant or I've had a 50 year old turn up at my door saying I'm their Dad..

It's something I've always wanted doing, even though my 4 grandparents were Irish and my 8 Great Grandparents were Irish I'd love to see how much % Irish DNA I have
The other week on DNA Journey Englishman Neil Morrisey was tested and he turned out to be very rare - 99% Irish DNA compared to the Irish bloke he was with who was only about 63%.

Last night Oti & Motzi Mabuse had theirs done and their DNA goes back 200,000 years to the very early days of humankind.

So anybody here had it done and were you shocked at the result?

A lot of these popular tests are more theatre than science.

So does everyone else. And a lot further back in time than that.
 
My wife & I have both done DNA tests:-

Me - 63% English / 33% Scottish, Irish & Welsh / 4% Scandinavian

Wife - 51% Scandinavian / 35% Scottish, Irish & Welsh / 14% English

Her family descended from the people excavated from St. Kilda which is most likely why the Scandinavian percentage is so high.

My DNA seems a common mix, but I do have one of the rarest blood groups - 1.5% World Population.

I could be wrong, but I suspect most people's dna will follow a line back to the roots of human kind even if they were cloned. I suppose its possible that someone could be grown using 100% manufactured dna but I would thought that person might have some stand out characteristics. (They would probably take over the world)
 
I did one a couple of years back. Quite surprised by the results as I'm of Scottish heritage as far back as the 14th century.

51% Irish/Scottish/Welsh
29.7% English
16.1% Scandinavian
1.7% Ashkenazi Jewish
1.5% Central Asian
 
Tread carefully...

What if with your 100% Irish bloodline yours came back as

35% Scandi
20% French
15% Greek
10% African
20% Welsh

:eek: talks gonna be needed to be had

Unless of course you were there from before the start!
