Irish Update: Wright and Smith Branches

Standing Stone, Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

 As I said in the last post, my DNA makeup is 29% Irish and 25% Scottish.  A lot of that comes from my mother's side of the family.  Before she passed away, she also took the DNA test along with one of her brothers and her sister.  Research wise, my mother's ancestors are  25% Irish.  The Scottish ancestry goes back further then I have researched. Here are the DNA results:

Person	Irish	Scottish
My Results	29%	25%
Caroline Wright	29%	8%
Catherine Wright	26%	14%
George Wright	29%	13%

Her DNA results also shows that her family came from the north part of County Mayo.
