I'm a simple emigrant and I took a DNA test

This was a birthday gift from my sister. I received a small box containing instructions, two long DNA-swab sticks, two vials, packets, and an envelope. In my account, such a test costs €89. First you need to register on the site, fill in information about your parents and grandparents: names, places and dates of birth. Then with these sticks you have to collect DNA (saliva), put it into the vial, and snap off the tips so you can tightly close the lid. Next you just need to pack everything up and send it to the MyHeritage DNA laboratory in Hofheim. Within a couple of weeks, they send the results in the form of an epic video, where they show the ethnic ancestry estimate in percentages by groups. The groups are quite broad—check them out in the video above the post, but I’d like something more precise. Still, even with that setup there were amazing discoveries: it turns out I have Jewish and Italian roots. Another funny moment is that the laboratory, using your data, begins to calculate potential relatives. The feeling is like in the show “Wait for Me”: a letter arrives, saying, “look, perhaps this is your sister three generations away.” In my case, there are probably many: I have 12 close aunts and uncles in the first degree, and some nieces are much older than me. Now in my account I have 119 potential relatives. Have you studied your genetics and genealogy? #emigrant_happiness
