DNA Sequencing Megathread! Neanderthals, Denisovans and other ancient DNA!

[Ed Anger]

Well at least I don't have any Dayton-Xenia ancestors.

Neither do I. Try harder, Lord.

[derspiess]

Still denying it, eh?

[Ed Anger]

I am from good Kentucky stock. ED STRONK!

And yes. 

[derspiess]

I have found no Kentuckian in my ancestry.  And still no Irish.

[Ed Anger]

I just make up shit when people ask nowadays.

[Eddie Teach]

Didn't you say you were part Scottish? The Scotti came over from Ireland.

[Ed Anger]

I hope you was talking to spicy. I'd cut you if you said I was a damn Scot.

[The Minsky Moment]

Valmy will mock me for this (OMG Charlemagne) but I was able to trace a line back to the viking Rollo.  Also through that same branch traced to dukes of Brittany with really weird names.  Supposedly there's a way to trace back to William the Conquerer but I haven't found it yet.

Sorry about all that - but don't get too down about it. Just because you are descended from gangs of violent degenerates doesn't mean you are doomed to be bad person yourself.

I'd nae give ye such an honor, laddie. :scot:

Yes, but they're not true Irishmen

And yeah, some of the Scots in my ancestry were Ulster Scots, but they only married other Ulster Scots, not any of the natives.  All my people were here in North America long before the Paddies came over.

I know, you gotta take the good with the bad.  I have a fair amount of English nobility in my ancestry, but the baggage that comes with that is the fact that those lines almost always go back to Normandy.

Secret Ed Anger ancestry fact: There is a Portuguese in the woodpile.

I am so ashamed.

[Eddie Teach]

Eggplant! 

[Ed Anger]

It could be a darkie, cleverly disguised as a swarthy European.

Easily fixable.
