Genes Will Out

My mother's DNA test results came back. A very interesting surprise from my mother's Irish Catholic maternal side. The report says:

"Interestingly, your haplogroup is also very significant because its members constitute three of the four major Ashkenazi Jewish founder lineages... Around half of all Ashkenazi Jews trace their mitochondrial lineage back to one of four women, and your haplogroup K represents a lineage that gave rise to three of them."

L'chaim!
