I Love Genealogy
What A Shock...... I have always been interested in my geneology, maybe because I was a history major and what better way than to research your own family history. Anyway, I have been told that I am related to Pete Rose and Stonewall Jackson. I am proud of both-opposite ends of the spectrum but we don't choose our family.
I was told that I was from Wales, Ireland, France and my great grandfather was full blooded Cherokee, hence the heritage I chose on EP.
Groupon was offering a special with ConnectmyDNA so I did it. For 29.00, I believe, they sent me two cotton swabs to swish in my cheeks.
Imagine my disbelief when it came back that my DNA was almost 100% in Austrailia, then Sweden, Poland, Croatia, , 5th was Ireland, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Italy, Belgium and Belarus.. 10 countries in all!
But the shock of all times is when they said that my mother and father shared 3 loci that were identical...now what does that mean? I am not sure...but my children were born with a very rare genetic disease..my sisters and brothers never had children so I can't say.
More research is needed I think!
