Ancestors

I got my results back from Ancestry and there were no surprises.  I had estimated on good evidence that I was at least 25% Scots and the rest mostly English and northern European.  The DNA says 31% Scots-Irish and 69% English and north western European.  The animated map that estimates the immigration patterns of my ancestors fits what I know from family history.  There were two main migrations, one in the seventeenth century to New England, and the other in the nineteenth century to Kirtland, Ohio and Nauvoo, Illinois, the the migration to the mountain west by both English and the Yankees who had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Most of my ancestors migrated in pursuit of religious freedom.  I am grateful for their sacrifices.
