Another Unknown Scottish Family Line

[RCAnderson]

I have been working on my family tree and decided to go ahead and do the DNA test thing from Ancestry.com that I have been hearing so much about. I have a whole new Scottish side of the family that I didn't know about.

After meeting a 2nd Cousin through the DNA test he gave me some information about my dads mother that I couldn't find any information on. With that I was able to trace that side of the family (Hume) which so far goes back to 1552 with Baron Sir George Hume, 8th Earl of Wedderburn which is my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather, lol.

I had no idea that side of the family existed. So apparently I have both Highland, and Lowland blood running through my veins.

The DNA test results actually surprised me. According to that test the typical Great Britain native has about 60% of their DNA from Great Britain, mine was 71%. I assumed there would be more Irish, but that was only 4%. Not much "Luck of the Irish" for me, lol.
