Somewhere in the past our line crosses to such a point that we can no longer trace, as a single person will be kin in numerous relations. <br /><br />If we are of European decent we likely carry two to four percent (2-4%) neanderthal DNA: great grandfather...

I have given a brief try or two at looking for more about my ancestors, but for me, it ends up getting me into one of my dark moods about regrets thinking of the many relatives I DID know in face-to-face life. I end up thinking of myself as a schmuck for not having been more careful and attentive as I could have been with them, and now they are gone. <br /><br />With that typically being my outcome, I guess genealogy is really not good for ME to pursue. But, strangely, the somewhat related DNA tests that highlight our origins.... do somewhat intrigue. Especially if I were to find something exotic (meaning outside of the German and French Heritage I know.). I have not pursued it yet and may never do so but it is intriguing for some reason.PipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.com
