So, I take it that you did the test to find the outliers, eh? |
My daughter bought the test for me as a gift. Then she bought it for herself. |
I would have loved to have seen my dear wife's results. She, too, was Ashkenazi, but three of four grandparents came from the Russian Pale (the fourth was Polish). But, when she was born, her family joke was that she was a Korean refugee baby, because she had a full head of straight black hair and epicanthic eyefolds. I suspect that back in the 12th to 15th centuries, her ancestors may well have been in the way of the advancing Mongol hordes. I suspected that she had Mongol ancestry that manifested with her.
