A Visual Comparison of My Son's Ethnicity Estimates to Steve, Me, and My Parents

My son's Grandtree on 23andMe.  I finally have enough people on my direct lines to make interesting comparisons (the problem of the only child (Marc) of an only child (Christine) of an only child (Pat Hartley, sorta).

Marc's father Steve's map.  His paper trail is mostly German/Polish with some British Isles.

My map.  My paper trail is mostly British Isles/Scandinavian/Germanic and some French.

My mom's map.  Her paper trail is mostly British Isles, German/Dutch, and some French.

My dad's map.  His paper trail is Scandinavian, British Isles, and Germanic.  On most DNA ethnicity tests he has trace Native American, but 23andMe points to Subsaharan African, even at 90 percent confidence (I get West African at 90 percent confidence).

Marc's map, a combination of all the people above.  He didn't get any of the fancy stuff, just 100 percent European.  Very interesting.

Throwback Thursday: Salt Lake City Trip

Marc, Ella, and myself.  Salt Lake City, abt 2012.

A few years ago we made a trip up to see my mother-in-law Ella.  As residents of sunny San Diego it is a rare treat to see evidence of snow on the sidewalk.

I've Been Neglecting My Husband's Side

My father-in-law's pedigree.  He was born in the United States.  Except for his narrow band of Irish/English types, his lineage is largely Polish and German.

My mother-in-law's pedigree.  She came from Germany to the United States in the early 1960's, so all her ancestors are European/German.  Thanks to one of her sisters they actually have a lot of information on the Mayer line, which I copied down during a Thanksgiving visit a few years ago.  Also, the pictures were on a relative's tree on Ancestry, which was an exciting find.

I have been neglecting my husband's side of the family on this blog.

He is not into genealogy (yet), so any information I give him about his family always has to be interesting and short, hopefully under 30 seconds.  Also, except for a small proportion of his ancestors, the vast majority are all in Germany and Poland.  Clearly I've put off dealing with German and Polish records.
