So I have the germ of an idea for a short story based on someone taking a DNA test. It's not an unknown parentage thing. Should I write it and post to my blog? Normally I only post personal research or articles to help others. #genealogy #dnatesting

Time for a re-introduction. I'm Claire. I'm a genealogist specialising Irish family history & genetic #genealogy I'm utterly passionate about my work. I write a newsletter on #Substack & blog. Here's some other ways to contact me. #Ireland #FamilyHistory #DNAtesting https://linktr.ee/cbgenealogy
I may talk or complain about some other things as well!

Shortwave podcast episode, May 17 (includes transcript):

"At-home DNA test kits can tell you many things. Race shouldn't be one of them."

"… there is a simple problem with trying to pull race and ethnicity from genetic tests."

Y’all. I’m not okay right now.

I can’t actually tell if I’m traumatized

#23andMe results as a random New Brunswicker:

56% British and Irish (strong showing from County Cork and western Ireland, as expected; Manchester and Merseyside come up strong too).

The #Acadian side breaks down as follows:
10.9% French (mostly Occitanie region by the Mediterranean);
Spanish and Portuguese 16.6%
Italian 2.5%
Broadly Southern European 2.2%
"Indigenous American" 1%

And then there's also 15.2% "Broadly Northwestern European."
