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!

I think you get what you pay for and that sounds way too cheap to do a test that returns results that detailed. I f you are interested in genealogy try Ancestor.com and chances are there is already a lot of information already filled in for you. All it takes is one relative to get it started and the tree starts filling in. Let us know if you felt the test was accurate. Interesting either way.
