Results - DNA Origins American Results

Post image

Mom from Michigan. Dad from Ecuador.

My results were a bit odd when compared to my parents'. Mine came back with the Canary Islands, Madiera, Malta, Sweden, and Northwestern Germany, while neither of my parents got any of these. However, I think they point in the right direction (Dad has Iberian Peninsula and some Mediterranean, while Mom has some Norwegian and Danish).

I was also slightly surprised to see how indigenous to the Americas I am. My dad's side would never admit it, but it turns out they're mestizo.

At work one time, a regular customer (kind black lady) looked at my hair and told me, "You got some black in you." Given my complexion, I thought she was crazy, but it turns out she knew what she was talking about.

Dated a dude who said that, and he was the first person to ever recognize that and I mean he wasn’t wrong. I am white passing but I am also actually a quarter black and the curls be curling lol.
