It was Gaul a bit surprising...

THERE better not be any skeletons in the closet," I told my parents before taking a DNA test with MyHeritage.

I was joking, but I've heard many stories of people lightheartedly ordering these kits online only to discover they have a secret brother in the US.

While my test results would've made a good story if I had uncovered something scandalous, they weren't very surprising.

I was happy to discover that I'm almost completely ethnically Celtic - a small percentage of English and French ruined a perfect score.

I'm 77% Irish, 17% Scottish and Welsh, 3% English, 1.6% Breton and 1.3% French.

The test further estimates that the majority of my Irish ancestry comes from Cork, Kerry and Limerick.

There was no mention of Dublin, which is interesting as my mother's family comes from a long line of Dubs.
