Well the latest Ancestry updates are out today and continuing the trend of updates, I become less and less interesting. I have been a family genealogist since ten years of age and like all children of my age, I was taught the melting pot theory of citizenship. My first results included things like Northern Russia, Caucasus (oh boy, I'm a Turk), Eastern Europe (cool I'm a Magyar). The following update, all that had gone away and the subsequent updates have all been more or less increasing or decreasing the amounts from the same areas, same with the DNA from my late Mother and my sister, who did the DNA tests to please me. I have concluded that we were not Velveeta, but the non-melting store brand. The updates have followed what I already knew from the genealogical records, that except for some New York Dutch and some Delaware Swedes, mostly Virginia progenitors. With today's update I went from 51% England and Northwestern Europe to 41%. An increase to 22% Scotland and an increase to 17% Wales, a decrease to 12% Ireland an increase to 5% Norway and 3% Sweden and Denmark, but my full sister increased to 14% Sweden and Denmark, she is a blonde, so her shake included more of the Delaware Swedes. Thanks to Ancestry I do know that I have a fourth cousin in Hawaii who is 33% Southern China, looks like that is as close as I am going to get. Sharon
My brother did a test last year. Wonder if his has been updated. It was a pretty boring result, hoping it may get more interesting. 😊
You discovered you are not Swiss cheese, but de flue blue english chedder with some hamish and whiskey, and a dash of marmalade. I would question how it is your sister is 14% Hushallsost ( Swedish cheese) and Danablu cheese and you are only 3%. I thought everyone got the same shake of the lambs tail.
Geneaology is appealing to America because it is all about the mix and looking back.However, from looking across the pond from the old world...i.e europe then Geneaology is a very much looking ahead, but that never counts, I am never from an American even though I am from the ancestor that travelled to America. It is always vice versa, that the ancestors future generations see themseleves as originating from us.
One of my ancestors was among the first to land in St Jamestown settlement in Virginia coming from Scotland. However, once he sets foot in America, to his family I am now their ancestor 🙂 well, technically I am not, this was just an example. He was a Scottish Royal appointment and we are only connected by name. He is my ancestor but moved away now twice from where our clan was once based.
I will say they all did well for themselves, except we have some opioid/meth victims in Florida. I was looking at Mugshots.com 🙂
I guess that is the olde worldes form of genealogy and was shocked to see so many meth vicitims with our surname. I mean our name is quite a conservative name, not one you would associate with meth addiction. That is not being snobby, it just is not one of those name's that remains modest, industrious and conservative.
Stay away from Meth you crazy American people and Robert if you are reading this stop going to Jail. In and out like a yo yo. I am an indulgent ancestoral type that feels he can go over to America and spank the emigrantes.
@short-dong You receive about 50% of your DNA from each parent, but your siblings DNA will not be the exact mix that you received. Genealogy is not just an American thing, the ancient Romans were obsessed with it. It was an interest to me from an early age because I have always loved history. History is only concerned with the vast majority of people in the aggregate, genealogy provides a history to the footnotes. Also, genealogy is more about paper records and preservation of those records. Most of my family has been in America since the 17th century, genealogically speaking, Europe is far removed and DNA has provided some paths to extant records. It is a better and safer addiction, plus I have all my own teeth. Sharon
I was interested to learn the Romans were obessed with geanology. In fact I ended up in a rabbit hole, Ancient history trying to determine why or how that might be apparent. From 1200 BC in realtively small space of time ( 50 years i think) there was the sudden and mysterious Fall and collapse and disappearence of Greek (mycenaeaen) Empire and The Hittite Empire ( Turkey and middle east) and The Ancient Egyptian Empire amd almost all of the Assyrian Empire. The attackers were the 'sea people' Sherden and Ekwesh people and land people among which were the Peleset people, who settled in what is now Palestine which is the Peleset people that attacked Egypt and Hittite and settled there, and eventually Egypt fell too. This mix of sea people is vast and from many places. However it was drought that brought about the sudden downfall of these empires and many of the invaders were displaced from greece and Turkey in thr first place.
In 330BC for example the ( greece) Macedonian Empire suddenly exploded and expanded all the way to India. There was even an Indo/Greek empire. This shows how diverse the mix of people was during the Bronze age.
However things got mental in AD, in particular with the 13th Century AD With Mongolians and North Men from Sweden forming Kiev Russia which the mongolians ripped apart. The Calphat etc.
I did discover the Imperial Roman empire was mainly composed gentically of Middle eastern people. All the rulers and leaders were middle eastern. From all over the earlier empire, babylon, Assyria, Egypt, Kush,Sudan, Hittite, Turkey and Greece etc.
The Migration Period, also known as the Barbarian Invasions of non-Roman peoples, o.e the Franks, Goths, Allemanni, Alans, Huns, early Slavs, and the Pannonian Avars that saw the Vandal-Berber army that hammered their way through the Franks destroying France, and Sacking Rome and then conquering North Africa, There they integrated with the Berbers to form the Vandal -Berber army and rule for hundreds of years, looting, sacking and raiding the roman empires and terrorising the sea with piracy. The Vandals were Germanic Northern european people, were finally defeated and diversified into many regions but mainly a region in what is today Algeria.
Before fall of the Imperial roman empire sometime in 400 AD, Constantine had just previously moved the Capital Rome to the city of Constantinople in ( Instanbul) and the The roman Empire became the (Rome) Western Roman Empire which fell soon after and the (Constanople) Eastern Roman Empire later to be called the Byzantine Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire lasting until the 15th Century when the Ottoman empire finished it off.
Then the Spanish french and English invaded America and so life began for you 🙂
Dave, it is easy to fall down rabbit holes with history, good stuff, choice and it will not interfere with brain function. Sharon
It's ok, I enjoy history, it was the only subject in School that I managed to get consistently good grades.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
