Wait… if your Swedish-American cousin is biological, then you must have a little bit of Swedish in you.

You can determine if you have for example Scandinavian in you without doing a DNA test. That’s how I concluded that I was about 25% Scandinavian.

I just need to know if your cousin is a 1st cousin, 2nd cousin, etc. to determine how much Swedish is in you. What’s more important though is if they are biologically related to you.

idk man

Wait stop im a Genealogist and Im getting confused over genealogy lol

---

Well, do your cousins have the same grandparents as you? (Not great-grandparents, just your parent’s parents)

IDK I only see Logan like 3 times a year

Congrats Carly

I know you are not Scandinavian,  but if you were, Your ancestors will be extremely proud

So proud of you!
