German Jew
cajun (Spain France)
Scottish
Apparently Native American (Sioux from red lake South Dakota but some of relatives migrated to Minnesota, and then their kids wound up back at red lake)
honesrly the 23 and me thing is nice but
what’s even more interesting is the actual lineage like family tree thingy with all the names and the real history all the way back to like, the name of the people who came to America.
family history is super interesting. My grandfather actually did a full report that’s like 80 pages with detailed information about it and gave it to my mom but
for me that’s just one side of descent obviously, everyone has four angles so
it’s a lot of fucking research but you might find some pretty interesting shit I highly recommend looking into it through one of those family tree services online and then doing what research you can with the info they gave you

Some warrior genes
Roughly speaking, the predominant wisdom (known colloquially as the warrior/worrier hypothesis; summary at ) posits that people with Val alleles have increased COMT activity and lower prefrontal extracellular dopamine compared with those with the Met substitution. Val158 alleles may be associated with an advantage in the processing of aversive stimuli (warrior strategy), while Met158 alleles may be associated with an advantage in memory and attention tasks (worrier strategy). Under conditions of increased dopamine release (eg, stress), individuals with Val158 alleles may have improved dopaminergic transmission and better performance, while individuals with Met158 alleles may have less efficient neurotransmission and worse performance. Some evidence suggests that Val158 alleles are associated with schizophrenia, while Met158 alleles are associated with anxiety.
