Percentage Breakdown of DNA Received from Ancestors

If 100% of the pie represents you and your DNA, then:

• You received 50% from your parents

• 25% from your grandparents

• 12.5% from your great-grandparents

• 6.25% from your 2nd-great-grandparents

• 3.125% from your 3rd-great-grandparents

• 1.5625% from your 4th-great-grandparents

• 0.78125% (or less than 1%) from your 5th-great-grandparents

• And 0.39025% (or less than 1/2 of 1%) from all generations preceding the 5th, combined

So much for thinking you're a spittin' image of your 5th-great-grandfather!
