For later.
Blood group AB, Rh Negative blood type is extemely rare among all the population. Because Rh negative blood is more common in Caucasians, it is found more in the European population than in those of Asian or African descent. However, I think there would not be a way to use blood typing for AB or Rh for proving anything about your lineal lines. Group AB blood, RH positive typing, is only about 4% of the population. Thus group AB with an Rh negative type is less than 1% of the population.
This is just my 2 cents worth. I am a trained Medical Technologist, and formerly worked in a blood bank lab in a hospital, so have some knowledge of blood types.

My father was of Irish descent. My blood type is AB-.
Great. Do you have any results yet?
BTW, Bryan Sykes says in his book, Saxons, Viking and Celts that he was unable (couldn't find) any DNA that is 'Black Irish.' The same with the Picts in Scotland.
I was always told the Mediterranean features came from a little Spanish rape and pillage back in the day.
