In reply to the discussion: Study: Southern Whites Have More Black DNA Than Whites In The Rest Of USA [View all]Yupster
(14,308 posts)31. I did the National Geographic DNA test and was surprised by the results
My family can trace its lineage into Germany for almost 200 years.
However, the DNA test father-father-father etc showed we were not originally Germans but more probably Celtic.
Were my ancestors sitting there when the Germans invaded what is now Germany and after a few generations we became Germans?
Was an ancestor a Roman soldier from Britain who was posted on the Rhine and then retired there?
It was pretty interesting.
