    DNA gets processed quicker when it's on a blue dress 😀

    That was funny...

    Should be cool if the dna makeup follows what I'm told. 1/2 Polish 1/2 Italian.

    I always thought I was 50% English and 50% German. Limey/Kraut
    But they came up with

    35% Great Britain

    An update

    Lab processing is taking a bit longer than usual

    Due to high holiday demand, our lab is a little behind schedule. But rest assured—your DNA kit has been received, we are working diligently to deliver your results, and we will send you an email once processing begins. Thank you for your patience!

    My sister did this DNA kit. We were both surprised at the results. 96% English ( the island of Great Britain) with minor percent Irish,French and German. Will you post your results?

    Yep. I've been told I'm 50% polish and 50% Italian. We will see how that goes when the results come in.

    A few years ago I met a nice woman and engaged in my usual chatty ways. My first impression was that she might be Native American and when I asked her about it..she said "No, I'm a Korlock." I asked..."What is a Korlock?" She replied..."That is half Korean and half Polish." Had a good laugh.

    My mom is going to have explaining to do

    Caucasus
    Primarily located in: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey

    Also found in: Bulgaria, Jordan, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Palestine, Romania, Turkmenistan

    The Greater Caucasus Range, running northwest to southeast between the Black and Caspian Seas, is the traditional line of demarcation between the continents of Europe and Asia. It was here, according to Greek mythology, that Zeus bound Prometheus for giving fire to humans. Linguistically, culturally, and even ecologically diverse, the Caucasus area is home to more than 50 ethnic groups and is one of 34 "biodiversity hotspots" (areas with significant, threatened biodiversity) in the world.

    Middle East
    Primarily located in: Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Yemen, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Lebanon, Israel

    Also found in: Iran, Pakistan

    Geography and human history have kept this region perpetually in the spotlight. It sits between Eurasia and Africa and is home to some of the world’s earliest civilizations. It is also the birthplace of three of the world’s major religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—with the most holy places of those faiths scattered from Jerusalem to Mecca. Since it was first inhabited, this vital region has been a natural center of learning, trade, culture—and conflict.
