Do you know who you are? 🤨

My previous DNA testing results confirmed a nice little legend of my family... 👇🏻
.
My mom's relatives kept telling me that our great-great-granddad was in military service at the beginning of the 20th century. Moreover, during the World War I, when the Russian Empire fought with the Ottoman Empire, he fell in love with a girl from the area, that was part of the Turkish land, at the time... Since Russia won, my great-great-granddad was allowed to bring this girl as a “trophy wife” back to his hometown. 💂🏻♂️🏇🏼🤺🎖💁🏽♀️💍👰🏽🤱🏽
.
After this, all the kids in the family line were born with brown hair/eyes (as opposed to blond/blue). However, I didn’t trust it much because you can find similar to mine phenotype among other Eastern Europeans. 👁👁
.
When I draw my mom’s genealogy branch I could calculate the percentage of potential genetic portion that I got from my “Turkish great-great-grandma”. And it turned to be 6.25%!!! 🧐
.
So, the previous DNA testing concluded that I have at least 8% of Eastern Mediterranean gene variations, which almost perfectly matched my calculations. 😏
.
Unfortunately, the sequestered genome code (that I obtained from the previous company) couldn’t be further used for some additional genetic tests. Even though they sent me a fun fact that before spitting into the saliva container I ate some beef (based on my oral microbiota). 🐮😋
.
Hope that 23andme will provide me with more detailed ancestry report from both maternal and fraternal sides. And maybe they will even tell what that cow ate before it got into my breakfast sausage. 🙃
.
Looking forward to continue my #GeneticJourney
