I have 2 uncles that my grandparents adopted from outside Mexico City who where orphans, they look like what most cal "Latino, or mexican", but are actually Cholula indians. Here is a good read. "Medical researchers, doctors and census-takers may lump Latinos or Hispanics into one group, but a giant study of Mexican genetics shows there’s really no such thing" The whole article https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/genetically-theres-no-such-thing-mexican-n129866

The Pratt part of my family has started a group on FB in which numerous Pratt’s have gotten DNA results and traced the family tree back quite a ways. I’ve said it here a few times but Pratt used to be LaPratt. I knew my history to be Cajun. Apparently it’s waaaaaay more French than I could have ever thought. French-Canadian to be exact, then to Michigan. Then all the way down the east coast to Texas. Crazy how one dude can spawn a whole litter of us.

Apparently her alleged dad was 6'2 Hispanic guy. I would joke with her mom about it because my wife is five foot nothing. She always thought she was Hispanic and had Native American traits. I thought it was a small chance she could be Asian. Never in a million years would I think she's actually half asian, and half Hispanic. Tell me what you think. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/02/full-32382-177253-20190206_110102.jpg)

SA, I can see it since you pointed it out, in any case, b-eautiful bride sir Thank you sir. She definitely has the squatty asian body. That I always said. When we first started dating people would refer to her as the Asian girl. And I always disagree with them because I never saw it. Hell I guess they were right.

So the wife, and I did the whole DNA thing for Christmas. I haven't got mine back yet, but my wife got hers back yesterday. Apparently the story her mom told her for years wasn't true. It was long thought that she looked asian. Not to me, but to many. Including random asian people. To me she looked hispanic/native american. If she was wrapped in a woven blanket she looked Navajo, and is she wore a Mongolian hat she look like a little Genghis Khan, so I wondered. Well yesterday, we got her results.....she's 49% Chinese from Taiwan. She's a little confused, and off-kilter today, which is understandable, but i think its pretty cool and interesting. My results will probably be pretty boring "typical hispanic" results for the area. I might be 20% Russian, was thought to be German at one point. Stories passed down for years may not be accurate. We'll see when i get my results back. Curious, any idea where the 49% chinese came from in her family?

No doubt about my mother. She was Bulgarian. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/02/full-16668-177244-image.jpg) You're cute in that little outfit even though it kinda looks like a dress. I see that you are big noticer. Notice that the picture was dated 1913. That's my uncle Wessel. Your uncle Wessel is your dad? So that makes your dad your stephbrother? Im so confused now.

I don't think I will ever do it. I think the results would be pretty boring. I know all of my great great grandparents came on a boat from germany. I can only guess im pretty german. One of my uncles was very big into ancestry. I have a couple books that look like encyclopedias that he put together of our lineage. I have the same type of heritage and the family ancestors have been traced back to their hometowns in Germany. Part were of Austin's colonies, others came through Galveston while Texas was still a part of Mexico, others through Ellis Island.

You'll know she's Chinese if you want to do it again an hour later.

So where do they get all this DNA to tell you who you are? How can they tell you that your ancestors came from a specific area back whenever? I don't get it.

I prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.
Unless there is a medical reason to do it, I am just going to go with the stories my elders have told and enjoy the memories than to have it all be proven false.
I know who and what I am. It has made me who and what I am. And I am happy with that.
The potential to have that changed at this point in my life only serves to question those I have trusted or distrusted my whole life.
Well eventually your kids or grandkids will do it, so why not it be you? My son for Christmas got me and my wife a kit, we have not sent it in yet. My Dad has always said he is 100% full blooded Portuguese. That would mean I should be 50%? It will be interesting to see what comes back.

Yeah, a lot is word of mouth or birth certificates, and that can't be trusted 100%. Not everyone is going to tell the truth, if they're in the wrong.
