Met my father, sister and brothers for the first time in person today. I'd like to thank geneticists for making it possible to crack open secrets that have lain hidden for 50 years. Shame I had to buy a commercial test to find them on a different continent. Don't worry, I didn't use my real name or details.

If, at your older brother's wedding, your cousin dropped the bomb that there's a chance he's your half brother, and given that the three of you look a whole lot alike, moreso than any of the other cousins, and the cousin dropping the bomb is and has been the most trustworthy of the three of you, would you buy everyone a DNA test for xmas?

@esalinna Täälläkin voisi tehdä tiukkaa päästä porukoihin. #DNATest

#introductions #introduction Most photos of myself will be described “Caucasian”, but my mother was half #japanese and my Obaachan was full.

A #23andme #DNATest also revealed a maternal haplogroup of N9b, suggesting Jōmon #ancestry.

Because I’m 75% #irish and #polish , I’m “white” by most standards. But my 25% Japanese #heritage is important to me, too.
