results as a mexican & peruvian-american !
Hello everyone ! These are my results as someone born in the United States to a mother from Nayarit, México and a father from Lima, Perú.
Even as someone living in a state with such a high concentration of Latinos, I’ve never actually met another person with my parentage. Either way, my ancestry has always been a source of pride for me since I was a child, especially regarding the richness of each country’s histories (emphasis on everything pre-Columbian!!!!), the music, and, of course, the food. :)))
Nothing about my overall results is too unsurprising, especially regarding the bits from Spain, Sephardic Jews, and West, Central, and Northern Africa !! The ‘journey’ for my maternal side tracks with the emphases on Nayarit, Jalisco, and Zacatecas (where her parents are from)… Same with my dad as my paternal grandparents are from the northern departments of Áncash and Cajamarca :)
I suppose I am just a bit intrigued by my Celtic and Gaelic results? I had my dad take his own test, and this region did not appear in his results (nor France, the Levant, Africa’s regions, etc.), so maybe I can convince my mother to try it out…
There are sooo many knowledgeable people in this subreddit, and I would greatly appreciate any historical insights into any aspect of my results! Totally willing to answer any questions . Thank you sooo much :))
