Here it is, the breakdown of my “origins” according to gedmatch.com. Once you have your DNA data you can upload it to the service and run a range of analyses.

What this graph shows is how similar my DNA is to the DNA of people in the database who are from these regions. It’s important to realize that we don’t get our “origins” in any absolute sense. Still, I am somewhat surprised by the results. I have Eastern European, Western Mediterranean, West Asian, and American Indian similarities and I have no idea where they come from. I’m guessing the American Indian is really Sami ancestry, but beyond that, no clues.
