I also get a small percentage of Middle Eastern and it appears to come from my Scotch-Irish side. (No fooling.) It seems that many years ago Turkish farmers settled in Ireland and Scotland and intermarried with the local lasses.

She's definitely my aunt! But her matches aren't the same as mine ... lots of hits in Sweden and Germany (where her parents and my grandparents were born), so I'm quite excited. Not quite sure what to make of her 2% Middle Eastern ancestry (mine was 100% European), and normally I wouldn't stress it, but I'll need to explain to her what that's about, LOL! ===== If you would prefer digest mode to mail mode, drop a note to roots-admin@rootsweb.com and ask for the digest... ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
