I did my test in early December and got my results this past weekend.
Like I said in a PP post I'm Puerto Rican and we know Puerto Rico is a huge melting pot. My great grandmother just recently passed away a few years ago and her last name was French. Her husband (my great grandfather) was Afro Puerto Rican. As far as she could go back (she remembers her great grandparents) they are all from Puerto Rico.
So I was expecting mostly anything and everything.
26% Iberian Peninsula
19% Europe South
14% Native American
13% Ireland/Scotland/Wales - This caught me off guard
I had a mix of African countries that equaled about 18%. There were also small amounts of Russian, Middle Eastern, Great Britain and Asia.
I then had 1000+ cousin matches. I know 3 on the list as my second cousins. The rest are 3rd cousins and up. I've only gone through and taken a peek the first 20 or so and I have no idea who they are. They are all on my mother's side so far. It states we share a great great grandparent. Considering my great grandparents all had about 10-15 siblings I doubt even my grandma would know who they are. It was very interesting.
