#myheritage

It ran out the other day, so I cancelled it because that shit's expensive and I don't have money for it

Now I'm getting bombarded by calls from them, none of which I've answered because I have one of those apps where it looks up the number automatically and lets people report them

So I'm just blocking numbers left and right as they come in, I don't wanna talk to them, I don't want them to be selling shit to me

I did a MyHeritage test with my sister just for fun. The results weren’t surprising at all and actually make a lot of sense. I’m Frisian Dutch, so the 14.5% Danish and 4.6% English makes sense. In the Middle Ages, Friesland was part of the wider North Sea trade network and had regular contact with Scandinavian and English merchants. After that, basically all of my ancestors were Frisian Dutch. To this day all my genetic family is Frisian.

It’s just fun to see it visualized like this, even if it mostly confirms what I already knew: my ancestors stayed around the North Sea area.

Gleicher Onkel, heute, sucht auf Myheritage verzweifelt nach den falschen Personen an falschen Orten, weil er kein Sütterlin lesen kann und sich nicht richtig an den Vornamen seiner Oma erinnert.
