I can only find up to my great-great-grandparents. Before that.....who knows!
To hopefully help rectify short-branch syndrome, my dad took a DNA test so we could hopefully find out where we came from.
It took about 4 weeks for the results to come back and here are the results!
Great Britain and Ireland are no big surprise. I mean, have you seen my fair skin and red(ish) hair!?
The 1% of America in our DNA confirms family lore that we are part Native American.
A recently discovered 3x Grandfather is quite possibly from Italy.
I didn't expect Finland/NW Russia or Asia. I wonder how this falls into the family tree?
As many answers as I was hoping to find were overshadowed by the many more questions this test revealed!
I haven't yet found that long-lost relative that will answer all my questions on the short branches of the family tree but I do know now where I (at least half of me!) came from.
I can only keep searching!
