Does anyone have their DNA profiled? I did mine a couple of years back. My family are nearly all from the East side of the country, lots of Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Tyneside up to Scotland, as far as I can trace.

Here's mine although the numbers change all the time on Ancestry, so can be taken as a rough guide.

58% Scottish
22% English
12% Swedish/Danish
8% Norwegian.

My Scottish ancestors were generally shipwrights and came to the North East in the first half of the 19th century. One of them had a job title of Master Mariner, which I would be proud to have  :)

Be interesting to see what other people are.

Need to do mine again.

Last time it came back 68% sour cream pringle and 32% orange flavoured penguin.

Do they pass your DNA Profile on to the police?

My mum’s side didn’t leave the area between Leeds, Donny and Wakefield for 300yrs it seems. The other side is probably because my paternal grandad’s side were from the IOM. It certainly explains why I’m gingery, a golfer and have been given a military grade liver. Looking back it looks as though one of the great great xN grandad’s was an Irishman called John McDermott!

Did mine a few years ago Rob ( via Ancestry)

Initially I came back as 95% Yorks & Lincs plus 5% Swedish

Recent results have shown I’m about 15% Welsh now with a smattering of the Nordic countries. Sweden, Denmark & Norway. Since my original score I’ve come down to about 65% from the Yorks & Lincs area

It’s interesting but I guess it’s something of a moveable feast because the more folk who share some of the same DNA take tests for the first time, it’ll keep on changing our own results

It's interesting looking at who is related to you and "shouldn't" be. My great grandfather was illegitimate but his mum left a clue in his name about who his real father was. I found I had genetic relatives in a family in Westoe a few streets away from her one of whom was the right forename and of a credible age to be the real father. It was important to me as I still carry his stepfather's surname.

I think you can choose whether it's on searchable databases. They caught the Golden State killer, who is yet to come to trial, from a second cousin I think.

Not had mine done yet, but I will probally get it done.

On my mums side, my great great uncle was a Dr Charles Buck, of Giggleswick, Settle, North Yorkshire, he played the cello. He had a 50-year-old friendship with a rather famous composer >> https://www.cravenherald.co.uk/nostalgia/nostalgia_history/4366652.elgars-gift-of-music-for-a-giggleswick-doctors-mum/
