It breaks my heart when I see individuals in the media and public eye, who try to divide our very unique population by ethnicity or who use this device to prejudge or categorized someone.
But I am not blind to the fact that most Americans have no idea who they are.
But I do. I am an American mutt. My roots are ALL Southeastern Coastal USA. My most recent of ancestors arrived in America between 1720-1750. That's the most recent. Others have occupied this land for thousands of years. That why I can proudly and truthfully claim my inheritance as American.
These are the most recent results of my admixture testing.
| Population | |
| North_Atlantic | 45.74% |
| Baltic | 24.99% |
| West_Med | 15.36% |
| West_Asian | 3.67% |
| East_Med | 5.51% |
| Red_Sea | 0.83% |
| South_Asian | 0.52% |
| East_Asian | 0.98% |
| Siberian | - |
| Amerindian | 1.34% |
| Oceanian | 0.24% |
| Northeast_African | 0.48% |
| Sub-Saharan | 0.34% |
I went with Eurogenes on this one as I am, as is visually evident, primarily of European decent.
My biggest block is nearly 46% North Atlantic
This incorporates the British Isles and theNordic/Viking countries.
My next largest block is "Baltic", at nearly a quarter. Some people don't realize that their ancestors traveled from Eastern Europe to Western Eurpoe, England, France, etc., and maybe lived there for a while, generations even, before seeking passage to America.
So, From there its about 15% West Mediteranian, which I have found mention of "Portugeuse" in my research.
After that, the percentages become smaller, 3% or less, but I've found several Great-Great Grandparents who carried multiple ethnicities by the mid --1800's.
Nearly 1% Red Sea
And over 5% West Mediterranean.
And I have been able to trace my Solomon ancestors to a Jewish merchant from Revolutionary Era New Jersey who changed his identity and came to North Carolina and started a new family.
After that it is 1.34 % Amerindian, , .52% South Asian, nearly 1% East Asian and .24% Oceanian.
These are my Native American roots. And maybe an Island girl picked up on a pirate voyage who was delivered to America.
Then there are my African roots. .48% North East African and .34% Subsaharan. These come from my Native American roots who intermarried with both Africans and Europeans.
These results are a little different from the more generalized test I had earlier. But they are also more in depth and specific. But the results are still relatively close and reveal the fact that I am truly an American mutt.
But my point is, if your ancestors have been here for more than a generation or two, you are probably a mutt as well. And we are one country and one people. Support your motherland, America,
