My mother's family are frequently mistaken for being Jewish by people who actually are so I decided to get an ancestry DNA test done.
It turns out that they're about 12% Iberian with nearly as much South Asian DNA. They've probably got some Spanish and Romany ancestory.
My father's lineage was an even bigger surprise. We always believed that he had some Malaysian ancestry, it turned out to be Melanesian. It's sobering to think that just 3 or 4 generations before me my ancestors were head-hunting and eating their enemies.
