I took a DNA test with Ancestry and the results came back that I was 70% Italian, the rest Spanish with a tiny percentage from other non British countries.
Both my parents and their families were from Liverpool and before that both sides came over from Ireland during the potato famine.
My sister and mother have now taken the same test and have no Italian or Spanish but are English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh as expected.
My father is no longer with us, so we cant test him but I am definitely his! How does this happen?
