Although born in the UK, family lore had our family roots in Germany and Ireland. I submitted my DNA to Ancestry, and through the DNA analysis and their search engines , I discovered I am 68% Swedish, with the remainder evenly split between Iberia and Northern Spain. Surprise. My g.grandmother who always claimed to have moved from Ireland as an infant with her mother, was in fact born in London. Go figure. Got lots more digging on Ancestry. The small percent of Jewish genes, solved the mystery of my sudden catastrophic vision loss. I probably carry the "Lebors" gene.
