I got my 23 & me results back a couple of weeks ago and discovered I am 21.8% Ashkenazi Jew (100% European). My mother never knew who her father was so I think this tells me something. She was born just pre-war in 1937 so I wonder now who my Grandpa might have been. Someone smart enough to escape Europe before the atrocities, perhaps? I will make up my own story for him. I found it all very interesting - the ancestry and the health parts equally.
