I have a friend who came over from Moscow and is an immigrant to the U.S. herself. A few years ago she started telling me she has Irish heritage and she knows it because she felt it in her bones and can see it in her dreams. Now she goes twice a year to ‘reconnect with her roots.’ She was so confident that she did a 23andme and it showed that she was 99% of her heritage with a 1% broadly european. That 1% is what she is now claiming is her Irish portion.
I don’t know. I really don’t even know.

Mine said I was 0.2% Mongolian so now I endearingly tell stories of my Grandpa Khan.

You need to be listening to The Hu now all day every day to reconnect with your roots. And also just because they are awesone
