It says I’m Baltic Hunter Gatherer

2019-02-01 01:33:54 UTC  

And look at the map.

2019-02-01 01:34:10 UTC  

That’s old Prussian alright.

2019-02-01 01:35:43 UTC  

don't they say if you're from traditionally Prussian territory unless you can trace your family back to the Prussia aristocracy you're very likely Baltic

2019-02-01 01:36:15 UTC  

I was not aware of that

2019-02-01 01:36:34 UTC  

But the surname was Meier which was a Prussian aristocratic name

2019-02-01 01:36:40 UTC  

I've only heard it

2019-02-01 01:36:42 UTC  

But I couldn’t find any aristocracy

2019-02-01 01:37:49 UTC  

Aristocracy or just Sam Anderson

2019-02-01 01:39:18 UTC  

very nice

2019-02-01 01:42:09 UTC  

It’s tiny as heck. I bet if I went there I could find their exact residence tbh.

2019-02-01 01:45:01 UTC  

fun fact

2019-02-01 01:45:44 UTC  

my family and @DixieBoy76 - KY's family are from towns that are fairly close to each other

2019-02-01 01:46:10 UTC  

That is fun. I’m having fun already

2019-02-01 01:47:37 UTC  

🤔

2019-02-01 01:48:11 UTC  

@Jacob did your family replace @DixieBoy76 - KY’s family

2019-02-01 01:49:29 UTC  

yes

2019-02-01 01:57:31 UTC  

Come to North Atlantic @V.Balboa - PA

2019-02-01 01:59:52 UTC  

If you all are looking at DNA tests, I would highly recommend CRI Genetics. Not only do you get your genetic make-up, but it also shows when a particular ancestor entered your family. It’s really damn cool.

2019-02-01 02:00:45 UTC  

call me paranoid, but are there any anonymous DNA testing services?

2019-02-01 02:00:51 UTC  

It’s also run by an actual geneticist and not some (((multi-national))) corporation.

2019-02-01 02:01:04 UTC  

CRI is. They only use a kit number

2019-02-01 02:02:07 UTC  

Thanks, I'll look into it

2019-02-01 02:02:33 UTC  

👍🏻

2019-02-01 02:02:43 UTC  

don't trust the info to not be purchased by insurance companies and affect my descendants

2019-02-01 02:02:43 UTC  

there's a university that does DNA tests for free and gives you the raw data

2019-02-01 02:02:59 UTC  

Interesting. How much are they? 100$?

2019-02-01 02:03:12 UTC  

you have to be okay with your data being used for research, but at least they're not gonna sell it

2019-02-01 02:03:13 UTC  

$80 right now I think

2019-02-01 02:03:37 UTC  

any info you could give on the university @Jacob ?

2019-02-01 02:03:37 UTC  

From the day I placed it in my mailbox, it took 3 weeks to get my results

2019-02-01 02:04:15 UTC  

You have to pay extra for haplogroups

2019-02-01 02:04:18 UTC  

@Fjällvargar just a heads up we try not to use ((())) in IE.

2019-02-01 02:04:24 UTC  

👍🏻

2019-02-01 02:04:41 UTC  

Sorry about that

2019-02-01 02:04:51 UTC  

Don’t sweat it. I’m not a mod.

2019-02-01 02:05:23 UTC  

@Fjällvargar Have you tried Ancestry?

2019-02-01 02:05:24 UTC  

All the same — it’s good information. I’m not on the server a lot and it’s good to know the etiquette.

2019-02-01 02:05:41 UTC  

Hello everyone

2019-02-01 02:05:48 UTC  

@DixieBoy76 - KY I did that one first.
