Documents not DNA

There are so many stories DNA cannot tell, as well as false attributions; nationality and religion are human constructs, not genetic. All that information is extracted from migration templates.

Conversely family history must be seen in the context of world history, the wars, famines, economic opportunities and upheavals that motivated migrations, relegated neighborhood choices and marriages.

Why are do so many Irish Americans have German roots? Famine brought the Irish to America in the late 1840s while the Germans fled a failed liberal revolution, most were Catholic and thus subject to discrimination, not formally criminalized for another Century and thus most ended up sharing the same crap neighborhoods that no one else wanted.

Half a century later, similar situations brought an influx of Eastern European Jews and Southern Italian Catholics to those same slums, but there was much less intermarriage, though many recipes were shared.
