96% Who Knew? I Did!!
I received my DNA results from Ancestry.com but there are TONS more things I can explore with it. It is fantastic. If you care about Jewish roots -- you or a loved one's roots -- you will absolutely love this. If you are not Jewish you will love Ancestry.com too. One can get pictures, too, of ancestors as they traveled and also traveled into the US.
They sent a pie chart but I cannot cut and paste it as it does not allow for that but it gave me percentages as well as the Genetic Communities where a connection is likely. NO SURPRISE at all -- Except for the Iberian peninsula which would be Spain. My father always said we were Jewish as far back as he could ever remember! I called it Jew blue. No no blue blood at all though. Seeing my Jewish percentages made me cry ... seriously not kidding especially because of the Holocaust, all the anti-Semitic acts now around the nation due to oh yes you guessed it who else but Trump and Spicer's comments about Hitler not using gas and calling death camps "Holocaust CONTAINERS" made me see red as my blood pressure soared. Hitler only gassed between 6 and 10 million Jews--ONLY! Can one even understand that number? Fenway Park holds about 40,000. Think about it and compare that to 6-10 million. So when Ancestry sent me what I knew to be true it put my heritage into science and it tugged at my heart strings. The Jewish story is sad but many of us have had a happy ending here and elsewhere -- so far. How brave were our grandparents or great grandparents or great great grandparents? VERY!
And now for the drum roll I am sure you cannot wait to read: [If you are interested about getting your DNA read go to Ancestry.com] There are a million more things to learn and connections one can make.
So for me it said--SCROLL down--all the way down:
Hundreds of years ago
Genetic Communities™
Jews in the Russian Empire
Connection: Very Likely
Jews in Western Ukraine, Moldova & Eastern Romania
Connection: Possible
Thousands of years ago
Ethnicity Estimate
96% European Jewish (seriously?) Yep! :)
2% Iberian Peninsula
1% Caucasu
From Generation to Generation
YES, I BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS HERETOFORE UNSEEN FILM "NIGHT WILL FALL" (LINKED BELOW) THAT WAS FILMED BY ALLIED TROOPS LIBERATING THE DEATH CAMPS AT THE END OF WWII AS TESTAMENT TO HISTORY OF THIS UNTHINKABLE OCCURRENCE. THIS FILM WAS OVERSEEN BY THE GREAT ALFRED HITCHCOCK.
I DO NOT THINK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS OUT OF A SENSE OF MORBIDNESS BUT OUT OF A SENSE THAT THE WORLD SHOULD NOTE AND NEVER FORGET ITS HAPPENING AS HISTORY'S TIME FADES MEMORY. IN MY OPINION, IT SHOULD BE SEEN BY EVERYONE EVEN OR, PERHAPS, MOST ESPECIALLY, BY MATURE YOUTH AS WELL AS BY ALL ADULTS SO THAT THOSE IN POWER LIKE A STEVE BANNON OR SEAN SPICER AND, YES, THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF WHO EITHER NEVER CONDEMNS OR CONDEMNS WEAKLY THE NAZI MENACE ALIVE TODAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE OPENING THE DOOR TO A NATIONAL ALLIANCE THAT RAISES ITS ARM IN A NAZI SALUTE TO TRUMP. HE GIVES THEM CREDENCE BY HIS OWN WELCOMING ARMS.
WATCH AND LEARN AND NEVER FORGET SO THAT WE AS A NATION FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION NEVER EVER ELECT A MENDACIOUS MALEVOLENT SPEWER OF HATE INTO THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE AGAIN!https://www.theguardian.com/…/holocaust-film-too-shocking-t…

In
1945, overseen by by Alfred Hitchcock, a crack team of British
film-makers went to Germany to document the full horror of the
concentration camps. Despite being hailed as a masterpiece, the film was
never released. Now, after 70 years, the full…

Anti-Semitism Continues In America — And Trump Is Silent Again -- see link at the top enclosed
http://forward.com/opinion/368631/anti-semitism-continues-trump-silent/?utm_content=opinion_Newsletter_MainList_Title_Position-1&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Opinion+-+automated+-+wednesday+2017-04-12&utm_term=Opinion
Trump is SO full of xxxxx it's coming out of his ears. All of a sudden NATO is a bulwark against tyranny when during the campaign it was expendable. Now Putin is a problem when in the campaign he would not criticize him if he excreted on his Mir a Lago lawn. He had an interview where he got the name of the nation he bombed with 59 missiles as Iraq when it was SYRIA. He changed his position 180 degrees on Syria. THE SCHMUCK DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING!! He is so AWFUL there are no words.
Trump's father had Nazi sympathies about WWII and Trump is not far off. Although I don't think he's thought out historical positioning anyway. He knows NOTHING and I fear that his vile entourage especially Bannon and Spicer Nazis-like creeps will direct policy by whispering in his ear. The conflicts and treason in his administration add up exponentially. It is MADNESS worse than Bush worse than anyone ever no matter how bad one is holding the office of the presidency Trump is worse ... MUCH worse. My TV is lucky I haven't smashed it when Drumpf is on.
He is the biggest JERK ever to hold that high and powerful office with nuclear weapons no less. The electorate in their infinite wisdom bought the con and made him president. God help us indeed!!
