PHave You Ever Wondered About Your Ethnic Origin? Do You Know For Sure Where All Your Ancestors Were From And Which Countries' Histories Were A Direct Influence On The People Who Made You Who You Are? P PI've Always Known I'm Canadian, But Not Until Recently Did I Wonder: Am I Part Finnish?p PIt Was Just Last Week When I Was Broadcasting To The World On MSN That I Was "60 Finnished" A Personal Project When I Became Truly Intrigued About My Heritage. What I Was Trying To Tell The World Was That I Was 60 Finished A Large-scale Car Engine Endeavor; However One Of My Friends That HAS To Be Right About Everything Pointed Out That I Wasn't Spelling Correctly. Was I Just A Bad Speller Or Could It Be That I Was Sending Out An Underlying Message About My Own Self? I Facetiously Pointed Out To Ms. Always-right That It Was Conceivable I Was A Descendant Of Finland, And That Perhaps She Was Wrong For Once. But Was It Really True? I've Always Loved Finland's Flashy Flag; I Can't Seem To Get Enough Of The Finnish Rhubarb Stew; And On Top Of It All, I Keep Christening Custom Toboggans In The Name Of Finland. How Could I Find Out If I Really Am Finnish?p PA Good Friend Showed Me That There Is Hope! Ethnicity Testing Is Available To Me And Anyone Else With Similar Curiosities (not Necessarily A Finnish Fetish, Of Course). There Are Also Applications That Extend Beyond Personal Curiosity, But For The Most Part, Everything The Test Tells You Is More-than-fascinating.p PEthnicity Testing Starts With The Widely Held Assumption That All Human DNA Originates In Africa And The Goes On A 150-thousand-year Journey. The Test Is The First Of Its Kind Ever Developed. It Reports Proportional European, Western Sub-Saharan African (African) And East Asian Ancestry. For Example, One Person May Obtain A Result Of 80 European 20 East Asian, While Another May Type As 33 African, 22 East Asian And 22 European. The DNA Test Is Accurate To From 4-8 And Sensitive Enough To Detect, For Many Customers, A Single (100) African Or European Great-great-grandparent Or A Single (100) East Asian Great Grandparent.p PAs Far As I Know, The Only Scandinavian Blood In Me Is Due To A Package Of Swedish Fish; However, With Ethnicity Testing, I Can Make My Own Claim To The Honorable Finland.p
