My Mom's DNA Results

My Mom’s DNA results are 80% Eastern Europe & Russia, 8% Germanic Europe, 5% Baltics, 4% European Jewish and 2% The Balkans. Eastern Europe & Russia is made up of three parts Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland & Lithuania. My Mom’s DNA is specifically from the areas of Świętokrzyski & Lesser Poland (Malopolkska) which are regions in southern to southeast Poland. From Ancestry: In the early 1900s, villages in southern Poland were among the poorest in all of Europe. Peasants had no land and barely enough food to survive; tens of thousands starved each year. Most immigrants who left home in search of a better life were these unskilled workers. They often immigrated to established Polish neighborhoods in Chicago and New York, or went to New England and Pennsylvania to work in the mines.
