    3. Hello Listers, I had a DNA test done with National Geographic, (cost $199), which showed I have 22% South West Asian, and 2% South East Asian DNA. According to their study, the Nat'l Geographic shows that South West Asian DNA shows up in nationalities of people within Europe, i.e. British, Germans, Greeks etc. due to the travels of their ancestors. Their percentages runs around 17% whereas mine is a little higher. The South East Asian DNA, comprising of northeast India, and southeast Asian populations stretching from India across to Vietnam is what interests me, with whom and where did it become part of my mitochondrial DNA will probably never be known. My family members lived in India for over 100 years, it is inevitable to have SE Asian DNA, I am delighted. How does one go about finding relatives with similar comparisons? Do companies like Ancestry and FIBIS etc. give you lists or suggestions of various family groups or people that are willing to share their common DNA roots? Shirley B.
