The Basques are from the region bordering France Span and Portugal. So having Basque in your DNA is possible. I would think there are studies that have been done which shows blood types and what determines the type we are.

I am hoping someone here will be able to answer this question for me, as it is pertains to 4 of my 9 living children. What Percentage of people of Portuguese ethnicity is RH -? I have just found out, due to the pregnancy of my daughter that she is RH- and due to her father's ethnicity, is very doubtful that negative factor came from his genetics. While I am on the subject, I suppose I ought to explain a little more. I have 9 living children, 7 girls, 2 boys. I have been married twice, and from the first union, I had 2 girls, one of which is o- rh factor; I lived with a man and had one female child with him, whom is also rh - (a-), and then married my current husband and we had 6 more children, 2 of which (girls) are also rh-( one is O- one is A-). My mother is Swedish, scottish, indian and my father is full blooded portuguese. my mother blood type is O + , my fathers blood type is A+, and mine is A+. from the research I have done,it is extremely rare for native american, black, and scottish peoples to carry the rh negative factor, but a race of people called BASQUES have a very high rate of rh negative blood. Is the Portuguese race considered Basque? and What is the ratio of negative blood type in the Portuguese Race? Any help in this matter would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
