I think it gets more likely as more people get curious about their backgrounds and take the test. So maybe it's easier here because we know we all came from somewhere else so there's more curiosity than if you know your people lived in the same country for centuries. (Ironically it turns out Mom's family, or at least this line of it, HAS been here for 3.5 centuries-- I had no idea.)Jo Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566276500934815959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967992205144808298.post-64731561572956720162017-04-19T12:38:11.736-04:002017-04-19T12:38:11.736-04:00It had me singing and dancing all over the house! ...It had me singing and dancing all over the house!
