    Hello, Ward!

    Tuesday October 15 2024 16:05, you wrote to me:

    Do you have Dutch ancestors ?

    Definitely not. I did a DNA test when IBM and National Geographic were doing a mega-project to trace different nationalities in the 00s and to my great disappointment, I turned out to be an average Russian from the Northwest (with traces of Finnish ancestry, about 18%. Very typical!).

    If your grandmother is Romanian - you can get a Romanian passport. If your grandmother is Jewish - you can get an Israeli passport. If your grandmother is Russian - you can get some tasty soup (borscht) and fried potatoes with meat + shot vodka :)

    Best regards,

    Hello, Dmitry!

    I did a 23andme test when they had a huge discount on Black Friday. I failed. They sent me a second-round test and I failed again. "Our laboratory tried to process your second sample, but was unfortunately unable to." They fully refund and did not allow to take it again. "Our laboratory made multiple attempts with each sample, so it is unlikely that a third sample would be successfully analyzed. We sincerely apologize that we aren't able to provide you with 23andMe results."

    I still do not know who I am.

    Best Regards, Nil

    Why do you keep going to the scammers all the time and repeatedly to the same ones? :)
