Your DNA test results

 part 2

You go down the list of close (less than 6th cousin) matches:

Levi H. is more than 50% Ashenazi Jewish, and his grandmother came from Poland, but he doesn't know her maiden name or anything about her family.  You tentatively put him down as a possible relative from your Grandfather Samuel's side.

Antti S. is Antti Mattson Seppala.  His grandfather is Daniel Ericson Seppala, b. 1885 Finland. Antti has your entire Seppala family tree going back to 1600.   This is pretty much what happened to my father-in-law, there are great records in Finland. Of course they are all in Finnish, but Antti was happy to share everything he has with you, and send you pictures as well.   Why isn't everyone like Finnish people!!!

John R. has a private tree, and never answers your emails.  

Sarah J.  is 40% Eastern European, and 40% Irish.   She has a known great-grandfather from Hungary. You put her down as possibly from your grandmother Lisa's side.

Talia B. is 25% Native American from a tribe in Washington state.  She is also  known Irish and Welsh.   Grandmother Susan is looking like a better possibility as your Native American ancestor, as she was born in Seattle.

Karen A. is 30% Finnish and 30% Italian/Greek.  You leave her as a ? for now.

Sometimes you can tell where someone will belong in your tree, but a lot of time you won't.  That's when it helps to go to GEDmatch.org.
