    That doesn't surprise me at all. It seems that anyone in the US of European descent, who family has been in North America any length of time at all, will have some Scottish blood (and Irish, and Welsh, and English, and German, etc.).:grin:

    I'm going to have to do some digging on my dad's side of the family as that's Irish-German.

    My mother's side, however, is a lost cause as it's German, Dutch, and (no I am not joking) Indonesian.

    Recent advances in and greater utilization of DNA testing , especially in the African American communities (Click here to see article) have lead to great discoveries in the far more widespread genetic mixing of ALL people than previously thought.

    Maybe we are all just one big happy family after all.....

    I discovered Scottish roots by chance as well. Looking back through the family tree I saw almost all Germans, and then, great, great, great, great grandmother was from Scotland! No one ever told me!
