I've read multiple articles giving the impression that one could find out what one's ethnic makeup is via a genetic/DNA test. For instance, one could find out if one if he is a mix of Eastern European and Native American ancestry. My mom may have some ethnic mixture on her side. However, much to my dismay, I spoke to one of the larger DNA testing firms and they said that's not the case??? They can only verify the "single origin" of the direct line (mother's mother's mother's...) w/ no influence from any spouses - so that doesn't help me! Anyone w/ expertise on this have any comments/suggestions to help us find out what the mixture might be? (we don't need to know %, which I've been told is not possible anyway - we just want to know whehter there is a mix and what that might be - Spanish, European, etc.?)
