Thanks.  There is also a very spurious North German 1% that I am ignoring completely......

I would have wondered if there was an unknown NPE in the Mathry ancestry in the early 1800s or maybe 1700s, and it was an Irish sailor etc, but that is just supposition, and as others suggest, take these low percentages with a dollop of salt.

I have 1% Wales and zero evidence of any Welsh blood in my family for over 225 years.

Do take low %ages with a bottle of Saxa.

It was always a large bag you used to mention, are you unwell or just economising?

I used to order 50kg bags of salt but thought that it was a bit overkill in this instance to mention it.
