The results come by email. By the way the only person identified as a relative comes through my side of my son's family. My son is mortified that he is related ( however distantly) to Jimmy Buffet.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-11727495566685997082015-06-23T15:03:40.378-05:002015-06-23T15:03:40.378-05:00I'm also interested in my family genealogy.

My parents (especially my father) did not tell us that much about our family histories. I was one of those kids that eavesdropped on adult conversations and I picked up a lot that way. At the same time some of the funny stories are what we were told. The DNA test is a little costly but I found it fascinating. I am going to do my own because it will differ from my children.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-58317694451212732242015-06-19T07:39:47.384-05:002015-06-19T07:39:47.384-05:00That is interesting about the DNA tests.

I had never considered doing that before but I think it's something I might try.<br />I started digging into my family history a little several years ago. I wasn't making much progress until I read a Centennial Book put out bu the City of Dora. It had some family histories. One chapter linked one leg of my family all the way back to the 1700s.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-81018636994545733542015-06-18T19:45:58.171-05:002015-06-18T19:45:58.171-05:00It is possible.

I have asked her to send me a picture (at my expense and I would return it) but she always ignores the request. Oddly enough she receives all other email from me. And she is my mother's age so she might even know what he looked like from actually seeing him.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-20084853485662843062015-06-16T13:30:34.193-05:002015-06-16T13:30:34.193-05:00I was very involved in genealogy before my grandda...I was very involved in genealogy before my granddaughters arrived. What I turned up interested no one except myself, my first disappointment. And when I could not resurrect any cousins who might tell my why my grandparents married, I really did give it up.<br />All that notwithstanding, I hope you have great fun and learn a lot.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.com
