2005 Entries into Kerchner's DNAPrint Test Results Logsurprised by my DNAPrint 2.0 results, which suggested that I was 89 percent Indo-European, and11 percent East Asian. I never seriously believed I was descended from actual "East Asians" -most less from Native Americans - and assumed that this Asiatic 11 percent was of ancient CentralAsian origin - perhaps Finno-Ugrian - that had found its way into both European and East Asianpopulations thousands of years ago. When I took DNAPrint 2.5, my Indo-European ancestry wascorrected to 100 percent, which I would have expected the first time around. I took the Euro-DNA1.0 test to see how "white bread" I really was, expecting about 90 percent "Northern European".Instead, the test pegged me as only 62 percent "Northern European" - 20 to 25 percent less thanfor the "average" Northern European or Irishman, according to AncestryByDNA's charts. I wasalso 22 percent Southeastern European, and 16 percent Middle Eastern. This does not come as atotal surprise. My "trueborn English" grandfather had curly black hair, an aquiline nose, oliveskin, and a short, wiry build, while my Irish grandfather - according to the only photo I have ofhim - could have walked the streets of Kabul without attracting attention. My Y-DNA haplotype,although R1b, has a DYS393 value of 12, which is more typical of R1b in Anatolia, Syria,Armenia, Macedonia and other such places, than of R1b in the British Isles. I had recently begunto think that this geographical resemblance was simply an accident, an illusion created by a single1 step mutation. Now, considering that 38 percent of my DNA appears to come from that samegeneral area, it no longer seems infeasible that my Y-DNA could, too. Also, considering that 90percent of my "known" ancestry lies in England and Southern Scotland, my relatively highpercentages of Southeastern European and Middle Eastern DNA lend credence to my contentionthat the Anglo-Scottish Border folk (the Border Reivers, to wit) are at least partly descended fromRoman troops and settlers, many of whom came from the Mediterranean and the Middle East,and who manned Hadrian's Wall and the fortresses of North Britain at a time when that regionwas conspicuously underpopulated.Email address (To use delete '-Tuesday-' and add @ sign in that position): jvance-Tuesday-tiac.netGuest: B.J.
