6 thoughts on “Wordless Wednesday: The Whitest White Girl You Know”
I have a friend of Puerto Rican descent who also did an autosomal test with Ancestry and I’m putting together a little packet which describes his ethnicity. I’d like to get an autosomal test done for myself sometime. From what I’ve heard, Ancestry.com’s tests aren’t the most accurate, so I plan on taking a test with 23 And Me or Family Tree DNA.
I hear you, Jeff. I’m doing Family Tree DNA for my dad and grandpa, and will probably wait a little while for another one for myself since I’m not made of DNA testing money! 🙂 On the other hand, I look and feel like I’m about this white!
I am right there with you!! My son’s DNA results said 81% British Isles, 12% Southern European and 7% uncertain. There is NO doubt that the sunscreen has to be worn at my house! Have mercy!
Ha! We are just shrinking flowers wearing our bonnets and dutifully carrying sun umbrellas. 🙂 But seriously – I should have known. My little sister has translucent white skin and flaming bright red hair. As if there was any doubt… (Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog!)
Sounds like your sister and I could be related! I have that translucent white skin and bright red hair as well, although my hair has been fading over the years.
@Jenna – you probably are related, at least millennially! I found a study awhile back that said all red heads are related. Here’s a little more, plus a picture of my ginger sister! Her hair has already gotten – I think – a little darker.
