Peckish, thank you for the explanation on more people being added. I understand a little
better. On the female and male line, I was reading where someone was questioning why she didn't have a particular ethnic profile when her dad was, I think black, so she was looking for African and all she had was European because her mother was white, and she inquired of ancestry and they told her the test was I think the word was mitochodrial(not spelled right) which meant female to female or male to male. Something to do with the females not having Y chromosomes. If you find out differently, please let me know because this is why I mentioned I was looking with my g-grandfather.
I bought this test over two years ago, and just sent it in last week. If it comes back with anything German, I'll know it came from him, which will I guess also change that female to female thing; or maybe not because I believe I heard it on the tv program on PBS about finding your roots also. Seems like my grandmother would have German in her DNA also. But who knows. We shall see.
