Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Is there a blood test I can get to find out what percentage of races I may have in my blood?

funny you ask this now.. I was just watching a show with Barack Obama on it and he was talking about his heritage and the discussion led to DNA testing etc.. The news report said almost all American Black citizens probably have some European white and or native american indian blood in them somewhere.. Hence the softer lighter looks that result from mixing.. .. So the answer is yes, if you can find a clinic that does DNA testing, you can find out about your ancestory. I myself know just by my family tree records that I have Almost all the races except Oriental Asian in me.. European White, American Indian, Irish, Spanish, German (all caucasions), MIddle Eastern arabic (whatever that race is) , Persian, and I dont know what else.. I think Im Heinz 57 sauce.. lol

I think so. They check your genes and chromosomes for dominant traits from both your parents.

Blood tests are ancient history. There are DNA tests. Put FamilyTreeDNA in your search engine or put SMGF in your search engine. They don't use blood.

why not just ask your parents and grandparents ???
I already know I'm Irish, Italian and American Indian (Chickasaw)....

And that would prove what? you are who you are no matter what you find out, I am Black, Indian, and Cajun (Louisiana French) but I don't harp on it.

YES I MYSELF HAS BLACK AND INDIAN

I have west and east african, and mayan indian in me. But over all I'm african american.

Yes; there are certain tests that can be done, A genealogical DNA test examines the nucleotides at specific locations on a person's DNA for genetic genealogy purposes.
The most popular ancestry tests are Y chromosome (Y-DNA) testing and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing. Other tests attempt to determine a researcher's comprehensive genetic history and/or ethnic origins.
The general procedure for taking a genealogical DNA test involves taking a painless cheek-scraping (also known as a buccal swab) at home and mailing the sample to a genetic genealogy laboratory for testing
