Okay, as promised on February 1, here comes Pieter's DNA test
From the post: What Type of Feet do YOU have? see link below, it was clear that Pieter has one Roman and one Greek foot!
To the left you see Pieter's Greek foot (longer 2nd toe) and to the right it is Roman...
On October 29, 2019 Pieter's DNA sample by 23andMe read this:
58% French & German
18.1% British & Irish
6% Scandinavian
15.5% Northwestern European
1% Italian
0.3% Spanish & Portuguese
0.3% Southern European
0.3% Eastern European
0.5% Broadly European
Pieter's map and indeed, his Greek and Roman foot is visible here!
On March 4, 2021 Pieter suddenly had become 77.5% French & German
11.9% Scandinavian
5.6% British & Irish
Pieter increased in French & German from 58% to 77.5%...
But he lost quite a bit of his British & Irish; from 18.1% to only 5.6%...?
His Scandinavian went from 6% all the way to 11.9%...
Also his Italian, Spanish & Portuguese, Southeren European (Greek), as well as Eastern European and Broadly European all vanished!
Just like with my experience, 1.5 year later it all looks different.
NEVER again 23andMe!
Do you have a similar experience?

Hello Mariette, That's so annoying when your DNA shifts around like that. It's like when your apple tree starts suddenly bearing pears or avocados. Or your cat has a litter of puppies. Of course, I imagine it is useful in conversations. For instance, if Pieter start to complain about something you can say, "Oh, that's just your argumentative French and German side increasing again."

Dearest Jim,
DeleteSo true and we both found it kind of touching that due to Pieter's love for Eastern European music it turned out he was 0.3% Eastern European. Made sense and about two years later it all vanished!
We both are really done with them.
Hugs,
Mariette
So far, I've held off on doing any type of ancestry tests, Mariette. I pretty much know my basic heritage, and that is enough for me. Can't believe such different results were possible at different times.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteWe have held off for years as well but kind of liked the discussion and outcome by The Five on Fox. So we tried it...
They truly have shown that they are charlatans and that's it, we just trash their emails.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yup, Figured He Had Some Boardly And Dingo In His Blood - Right?? Hope That Put A Smile On Your Face - Sending Some Positive Vibes Your Way
ReplyDeleteCheers
Dearest Travis,
DeleteHaha, but nothing points into the direction of any Asian or Australian influence...😜
Whatever his genetics, he is a very rare breed!
Hugs,
Mariette
Conozco, algo de la vida de mis antepasados, mayormente por las historias que contaba mi padre. Aunque un antepasado de mi padre, bastante lejano, no era españo, aunque europeo. Yo toda mi vida la he pasado en Andalucía y así me siento.

Querida Antónia,
DeleteTodos somos una mezcla de diferentes razas. ¡Pero, por supuesto, el medio ambiente tiene la mayor influencia!
Sin embargo, el deseo de cierta música es a menudo algo de nuestros genes ...
Abrazos,
Mariette
How interesting
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteIt was interesting according to their very first results but when the shifted the way they did, we lost any confidence in them.
Hugs,
Mariette
So it gets confused, which one to believe? Possibly they are different methods of analysis and interpretation by the laboratories.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteBut this was from the very same company...
We both stick with the original outcome.
Hugs,
Mariette
