Genealogy / Has anyone taken Genealogy DNA tests? [87]

Hi

I am a new member so this is my first posting. I had DNA testing done in 2006. My Haplogroup is R1b. I participated in the National Geographic Society's Genographic Project. The cost was quite reasonable. I am not sure what the R1b means at this time - perhaps after the Nation Geographic study is done ( a five year project) I might find that one of my polish ancestors was Viking invader!

My paternal grandfather and grandmother (Stanuszek) came to the USA from around Brzesko in 1910. My mother is of Czech decent (Semik). My father would like to say - don't ever marry a Czech woman! I am learning to speak polish but I am not very good at it especially in dealing with gender.
