I knew that both sides of the family was from Northern Europe, and the results confirmed that, but the interesting thing was one tiny bit of Pacific Islander. The DNA also disputed family legend that we had a significant percentage of Native American DNA, none was found.

15 years or so ago, I was big into doing family research and was fortunate enough to find a distant relative who had been seriously working on it for over 20 years. She had the family history, on my Father's side, back to 1066.
