Re: Viking DNA?

Re: Mexican/Central/So.American Great-grandparents
Shari,
I'm glad you've taken the time and put in the effort to fill in the missing parts of your family tree. These give us a sense of who we come from, who they were in their own time and how they fit into the fabric of human history.

The population ranked #1 had the most, #2 had the second most, etc. We give the top 50 as they show the top populations i...
