Who Are You People?

I started doing genealogy because i wanted to know our ethnicity, so i wanted to know where we sailed from in Europe

I was able to place my dad's family on the 1632 voyage of the ship Lyon from England to America

I haven't made anywhere near that kind of progress on any of the other lines

I did take the DNA test and find out i'm 43% Irish/38% English/11% Scandinavian/8% "other European"

I need to get to work on the other lines, but i figure i'll eventually serve a year as a DAR registrar, and i'll have such great access then that it is silly not to wait

I would like to take the DNA test. My birth mother was some help but I want facts. The only thing we have proof of is that there is Cherokee in our bloodline. The rest seems foggy at best.

85% African (80% West African, 3% Central and South African, 2% Sub-Saharan African).

12% European (British, Irish, and Finnish which was a surprise. We always thought my dad's dad was German—that's where my grandad was born and German was his native language. But now we're thinking he was born in German, but his ancestors were British, Irish, and Finnish).

2% American Indian

1% Southeast Asia

I've visited some of these areas, but not all of them. A goal on my Bucket List is to visit all the countries my DNA can be traced to. Maybe I'll meet this goal or maybe I won't.
