My DNA

My sister had a DNA test done -- it will largely apply to me, too. There are no (big) surprises:

• 84.6% Western European
• 12% Eastern European, and
• 3.4% West Asian (Middle Eastern)

OBSERVATION: I bear a pure Viking surname, while my second name Oliver is in honour of Huguenot forebears named Olivet, who were persecuted for their faith. This was my mother's maiden name.

POSTSCRIPT: We did spot a conundrum. My sister ought to be 50% English at most, because we have a German mother. But she is 67% English.
