The night is young.

Too creepy?

I'm French, German, Irish, English, possibly a bit of Dutch and a bit of Native American, probably quite a bit of who-knows-what. As far as I know, my ancestors on my dad's side came to North America by the end of the 18th century, on my mom's side by the end of the 19th.

Apparently the night is young, so don't worry.

I'm not entirely sure, as I've never really looked into my family history.  All I know is I'm from Northern Ireland, my mother is English and I have a Welsh surname. Other than that I've no idea.

Hang on, is your real name Kat Sayre, by any chance?
Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road...

My mother did not CHOOSE life. She planned for it.

Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

The night is over, and I still don't have any Irish in me.

DISAPPOINTED!

Is this where I make the "I can fix that for you" comment? Cuz I can. Just make sure you read it in the creepiest inflection possible.

Lots of German and a slice of Norwegian. It was once suggested that I might have something from the UK area in there as well. But I’m not quite sure where.

Best we can say is Anglo-Italian.  Dad's side's Italian, Mom's side's generic "Southern."  My late genealogist cousin managed to figure out one of my ancestors on my mom's dad's side was a French Huguenot, but that's the only ancestor more than a century or so back that we can trace.

Is it bad that I know for certain that my family tree has some incest?

Not as long as you don't perpetuate the incest yourself.  :)  You can't really help what your ancestors did.

That, and....how do you define "some incest?"  In order for it to have a statistically-significant adverse effect on your genome (or that of your descendants), there would either have to be some direct sibling-sibling/parent-child incest, or several different instances of first-cousin marriage down a direct line of heredity.  Isolated cases of cousin-marriage, be it first, second, or more distant cousins, tends not to have nearly as much of an effect.  So if we're talking about one isolated case, it's not a huge problem.  After all, I doubt you're the sort who goes to the family reunion to meet women.


tl;dr:  You are not a slope-jawed, inbred hick just because one generation of your family tree did not fork.

Is it bad that parents are brother and sister?
