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.

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

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.

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.
