I am 100% italian. Does that mean that all of my family actually traces back there? No. Thousands of people were raped in southern Italy by Norman's, Moors, and others in that area. Many people in my family look middle eastern, Indian, or Hispanic. Many people in my family have African features. Myself included somewhat. Would a DNA test say whether or not my ancestors were one of the people raped? No. That's why a DNA test is pointless when trying to determine our ancestry.
