Do another one (23andme). They aren't 100% accurate, but BlueFrog could also be
right. Mobility wasn't what it is today, but that doesn't mean people didn't move around a bit.

looks like they might have immigrated from denmark, but they weren't danish.

Not likely....

and you are NOT the father?!? I'm hilarious, now gonna read post

It sounds like you want it to reflect your genealogy.

Yes. Also know I’m about 25% Dane but it shows as Norwegian. Not super precise.

Norwegian and Danes are both of Viking blood.
Blue Ghost

"viking blood" isn't a super precise description

Yes but the settlers of Denmark are form the same population that

which of my assumptions is off? I'm fairly well versed in this part of history

Are you saying that they aren’t genetically similar
Blue Ghost
12/29/18 1:43pm
NO! I didn't say anything even remotely like that!! Odd
hyperbully
12/29/18 1:46pm
I thought we were talking about DNA. Shared DNA from a population comes through
Blue Ghost

your original post about "viking blood" seemed to suggest that

Everything is weighted to the test results they have.

Makes sense...

CoachSpeak
12/29/18 3:13pm
So it sounds like they weren't wrong, they just don't expressly designate Danish ancestry
spinner
12/29/18 3:31pm
Maybe someone in the past was not really the father

I suppose that is possible...

tjngirlz

More likely the DNA test is accurate and there is something wrong in the family
chilango

I understand those things....
CoachSpeak

Well, combine that with the first point I made, about 10% of the dads not really

In addition to what others have said, you don't necessarily get 25% of your DNA
supertux
12/29/18 1:31pm
Guaranteed 50% from parents but it isn’t an even split for grandparents.
Blue Ghost
12/29/18 1:41pm
I am definitely NOT an expert in DNA, not even close, but

Unless you count mitochondrial DNA, or account for

My guess is you're not quite understanding either what I"m saying or
hyperbully
12/29/18 2:40pm
The differences arise because each sibling gets a different 50% from each parent
chilango
12/29/18 2:46pm
Well my dad would be 50% Danish...
CoachSpeak
12/29/18 2:28pm
It's not that neat & predictable.

First, they are far from an exact science. A few other things...

Ancestry doesn't show Danish as a grouping.

I think you misunderstand DNA.

supertux
12/29/18 2:54pm
well, they're definitely attempting to extrapolate genealogy from DNA
hyperbully
12/29/18 2:59pm
They are doing 2 different things with these DNA tests. Part of what they are
supertux

"has nothing to do with" is WAAYYY overstated, where you came from

You may just not have inherited many DNA chunks from your Danish grandma.

My understanding is that the DNA tests show how your genes express.

What you are seeing is the process of genetic recombination which is the reason
