For Father's Day, Mr Pipi's girls got him one of those DIY DNA tests, which he did and then sent back.

Results were pretty much what we expected, given what we already know about his heritage. He was a bit surprised by the Scandinavian DNA, but I quite frankly, wasn't, since he's a lot Irish and Scots also. No sign of Native American or African DNA...at least, not enough that would show up.

So now I'm thinking I'd like to find out once and for all if the family tales of Native American ancestry (most recent being supposedly a M'ik Maq GGG Grandmother) are true. So I'll be saving up my pennies to buy the same kit.
