Hi. My father was from Bohemia. His haplogroup is I-Z16983. My last name is Křiž. He once had a local professor "trace" the name back to 1300. But actual documentary evidence only goes back to about 1800.To my Dad's knowledge he was 100% Czech. From what I can tell, the most recent family history is in South Bohemia.
My 23andme results suggest roughly the following
35% Eastern Europe
5% Scandinavian
5% Broadly European
2% French-German
1% Ashkenazi Jewish (I think, though this is an area of overlap with Mom's DNA)
1% Broadly NW European
My Mom's DNA is quite distinct though when it is gets to 1% or less admixture, there may be overlap.
I am just connecting here. I have lots of questions but. really. do not know where to begin or what I seek other than general knowledge. I am open to any and all advice.
Cheers, Peter
