People keep asking me if I'm Irish, and I honestly don't know what to tell them. I feel Irish, yet I'm not entirely sure.
I know other parts of my background are from England, Ukraine, Switzerland, and Colonial America yet that's about it. :-/
Oh and the Irish Pub Confessional I'm wanting to bring up is going to a Pub to try a Guinness.

Tell them to mind their own business. :zoinks:

Might have to do a more thorough ancestral search.

I played tenor banjo at a pub's Irish night once. Also did the live sound a few times for an Irish band that consisted entirely of English musicians.

Which was why I took a DNA test I was given for Christmas.

That's really cool, when do you get the results?

How long have you played the banjo? :orly:

within 6 to 8 weeks (possibly longer), They got the sample back on the 10th of February.

What company? I want to get one from 23andme. :orly:

I started in my mid teens, then stopped in my early twenties after my father ruined Irish music for me by practising his own banjo and his melodeon for long periods of time at a very high volume. I still have a tenor guitar (same tuning and number of strings as the tenor banjo), but I can't remember the last time I even touched it.

I got the results, and I'm only Irish by less than 1%. The highest amount was 65% British and 13 to 18% Western European.
Another surprise was 1% European Jew.
-
I'm curious, the Irish I'm aware of (it's in there), but some things are unknown...but I'm cheap.
That's cool though. :lol1:

Rosscommon Ireland, Tournous France, German ancestors from Poland - Mother's side
German ancestors from Germany, English and Welsh ancestors - Father's side.

Could they narrow down the "Western European" to specific countries? :orly:

You don't have an Irish parent or grandparent? If you do you can get an Irish passport that way.

My great-grandfather my grandma never knew was suspected of being Irish (or Scots-Irish)

At least you don't have to feel bad if you don't like guinness.
It's weird how there are Irish pubs all through the world, in Eastern Europe, in South East Asia. In a lot of them if you asked for guinness you'd just get a funny look.

You have to take those "results" with a grain of salt.
The Dahm triplets (identical triplets) sent their DNA to 3 different labs and got 3 different results for their ethnic makeup.

Isn't that how DNA is structured though? Or am I not getting the clear picture on this???

DNA mutates. Origins of human populations can be tracked by using some of those mutations as marker genes. I think it works better on groups of people than on individuals.

3 genetically identical triplets, 3 different results.
The labs are using different criteria to establish national origin because no agreed upon standard exists.
The only known genetically identical siblings with different DNA are the Kelly brothers because Scott spent a year in space and now his DNA has mutated.

What does Scott Kelly's DNA report say? "You're 37% Irish, 19% English, and 44% outer space"?
