Wow!  I'm delighted that there's so much interest in this.

What is a good service for determining your racial and ethnic background, something that gives “this percent Native American” or “this percentage Asian”?

I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with any such site. Perhaps Martin knows of one?

I don't think that there's a website that will do that, but one of the organizations at the above links might be able to conduct an individualized, specific genetic analysis for you -- for a price. Maybe Sorenson.
