Ethnicity Testing Where Has Your Dna Been

Ethnicity Testing: Where Has Your DNA Been?

Summary: A widely held assumption says that DNAs journey started in Africa over -thousand years ago. Where has your DNA been since then? I've always known I'm Canadian, but not until recently did I wonder: am I part Finnish? As far as I know, the only Scandinavian blood in me is due to a package of Swedish Fish. I just learned there's a way to find out for sure through Ethnicity Testing!

Have you ever wondered about your ethnic origin? Do you know for sure where all your ancestors were from and which countries' histories were a direct influence on the people who made you who you are?

I've always known I'm Canadian, but not until recently did I wonder: am I part Finnish?

It was just last week when I was broadcasting to the world on MSN that I was "% Finnished" a personal project when I became truly intrigued about my heritage. What I was trying to tell the world was that I was % finished a large-scale car engine endeavor; however one of my friends that HAS to be right about everything pointed out that I wasn't spelling correctly. Was I just a bad speller or could it be that I was sending out an underlying message about my own self? I facetiously pointed out to Ms. Always-right that it was conceivable I was a descendant of Finland, and that perhaps she was wrong for once. But was it really true? I've always loved Finland's flashy flag; I can't seem to get enough of the Finnish rhubarb stew; and on top of it all, I keep christening custom toboggans in the name of Finland. How could I find out if I really am Finnish?

A good friend showed me that there is hope! Ethnicity testing is available to me and anyone else with similar curiosities (not necessarily a Finnish fetish, of course). There are also applications that extend beyond personal curiosity, but for the most part, everything the test tells you is more-than-fascinating.

Ethnicity testing starts with the widely held assumption that all human DNA originates in Africa and the goes on a -thousand-year journey. The test is the first of its kind ever developed. It reports proportional European, Western sub-Saharan African (African) and East Asian ancestry. For example, one person may obtain a result of % European % East Asian, while another may type as % African, % East Asian and % European. The DNA test is accurate to from -% and sensitive enough to detect, for many customers, a single (%) African or European great-great-grandparent or a single (%) East Asian great grandparent.

As far as I know, the only Scandinavian blood in me is due to a package of Swedish Fish; however, with ethnicity testing, I can make my own claim to the honorable Finland.
