23 and All of me

So I sprung for one of them-thar DNA ancestry tests. Here are the results:

This jives with everything known about our family history, right down to that 2.9 % French-German, as a great great something or other came from Alsace or some such.

On my father's side they're 94.6 percent Ashkenazim Jew which is remarkable. Even today my father and grandfather have a Mediterranean look to them the result of  centuries and millennia of not-interbreeding. Until now; witness by my Anglo-Scottish mother. Nice going there dad.

We also have DNA relatives in Britain,  Israel, and interestingly, Australia. Ye to the Empire and Commonwealth.
