WHAT’S A FACT ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOU DON’T KNOW?

I don't know what country my dad's family is from. I suspect Russia, but all they ever told him was some story about escaping "the old country"
 
There’s something a little DODGY about not telling your kids what county you’re from, maybe they were NAZIS ON THE RUN?
 
Oh I can scratch one off my list

I didn’t know if racialist was a real word or if I just heard it off Ali G and stupid people, but apparently it IS and doesn’t mean the same as racist. So I was half right

Not necessarily. Particularly during war, trauma and everything associated with it is often not repeated, through direct messaging at least.

there are loads of old countries though, like Yugoslavia, total Korea, Narnia etc
 
You lot should have been born Indian. You know everything about every relative that every lived, and they all have to attend your wedding.

For some reason, I suspect it wasn't Korea :D. The reason I guessed Russia was the timing lines up with when a lot of Jews fled, but you're right. It could be anything

@RJN do an ancestry test.

I'm a Viking!

I want to now, although I'll probably end up being something less exciting than viking. Is viking a different ethnicity than Norse?

To be fair, I'm triangulating the evidence of historical geography, physical features and my brothers ancestry test which said he was 50% of Scandi origin.

People have concluded more with less

It actually isn't that expensive so I might get it for my family to do for Chanukkah
 
I'm tempted to do that 23andme thing but I think I'd rather my predisposition to certain GENETIC HORRORS remains a fact I don't know about myself.

I've already got high blood pressure, alzheimers, depression, and addiction to look over my shoulder for.
