Hi there, In response to Debra on this I have just received the results from my test. First, some background. My father was born in Simla of British parents in 1915 and died some time ago. His family had a military background and lived in India for some 40 or so years. Since he was orphaned as an infant I had very little to go on to work out my family tree but I have been gradually piecing together the family story and still have a long way to go. One thing I have been curious about has been the photographs of my father as a child. I have always thought that his complexion indicated there might be some Indian blood in his ancestry. If he had been asked about that he would have vigorously denied it and he often claimed Spanish heritage. The DNA test has identified a large number of potential distant cousins, including 17 4th cousins or closer, but none so far that I can link to what I know of my family tree. But it is early days. The critical thing that has turned up though, I am delighted to be able to report, is an ethnicity estimate of 14% Asia South (India/Pakistan)! This has been a shock for some of my family but a delightful revelation to most. What remains is to identify how this has happened. Maybe we will even get to meet our Indian cousins. Even though nothing concrete has emerged so far the Ancestry DNA test has added an interesting new dimension to the quest to understand my family history. Well worth it for me.
