I currently live in the USA but was born and grew up in England. I have traced both sides of my family back to the 1700's and although a lot of them ended up in London, the furthest back ancestors I have found are from Essex, Berkshire, Sussex and Devon. There are a few Irish names (and one definite born in Ireland ancestor) in the family but I have not come across anyone else that is not from the south of England so far.
I'm curious as to what dna testing will tell me as a female. Both my dad and I have very dark almost black hair and extremely dark brown eyes, but pale skin. I was wondering if testing would give me clues as to the origin of that? I'm not clear what other information it will give me?
I was thinking of taking the ancestry test mostly for ease and since I already use that as my primary family tree, but am willing to keep an open mind as to other options!
