genes

My 23andme DNA test results indicate that 99.8% of my ancestry is European, which is no surprise to me. However, it also indicates that 10.2% is Ashkenazi. That is interesting. I had always wondered whether part of my mom's family (from Germany) might have been Jewish. Then again, it could be from the other side of the family.

There was nothing particularly startling or worrisome in regards to my Disease Risk and Carrier Status.

The closest match found by the "Relative Finder" feature is someone who may be my 3rd or 4th cousin. Based on their profile, I think we are related somehow via my maternal grandfather's family.
