With advances in genetic medicine for vaccines on the horizon, a new log in to 23andMe shows big advances there, too. Having signed up years ago because it was said to be popular among American Finns, results now include regional specifics: Counties Dublin, Mayo, and Donegal, Greater London, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Northern and Southern Ostrobothnia within Irish, British, 24.9% and Finnish 48.7%.
The biggest surprise is Grisons, Switzerland at 15.9% for a stateside great-great-grandparent born 1810-1870. If not the previously married Louisa Gilbert, born 1836, Perry County, Kentucky on the father’s father’s side, it would seem likely someone from father’s mother’s side, and ancestor to the grandmother born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, about whom not as much is known.
