I have done DNA testing with Ancestry.com and FamilyTreeDNA. These show I am more Irish than anything. That’s not a surprise. I know that these estimates could change as the number of people tested grows. I have a bombed ancestral church, a church that neglected to keep records for a number of years, and some other quirks, so I appreciate these estimates. My research to this point shows that I am truly a mixture of backgrounds. Of my 16 great great grandparents, only 7 came to the U.S., 2 to Lower Canada, and 1 was born in French Canada and may have come to the U.S. Of course, the research on all of them is ongoing. I want to know more about each individual.

Maternal Great Great Grandparents
These eight ancestors were born in Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland, French Canada (definitely French), and the last great great grandmother is 1/2 English and the other half may be German.

I am so curious to know about my DNA and about my ancestry
I did my DNA test with Ancestry and I need to find out how to get my pie chart
I would like to have a pie chart of my ethnicity.
If you test your DNA with Ancestry or Family Tree DNA you will be able to get the pie chart. Don’t forget that these are variable estimates!
