DNA

[dragonfare]

I've been contemplating doing one of those DNA tests for about a year now, but for a reason that might be considered frivolous. My (beloved) grandmother used to claim she had Cherokee blood in her line, and I always wondered if that was true or just a family myth.

Today I finally gave in and sent for the kit. What a way to start the year, right?

I hope you'll share it when you get the results. Wes and Katie have both done theirs, and I would like to do mine, although I've got a lot of information from that side of the family from Katie. It seems that we are English and Scottish (no surprise there), but what I find interesting is that both Wes' and my ancestors all seem to originally come from Devon. I was hoping for Cornwall, or some wild Scottish island, but Devon is okay with me.

Both Wes' mother and my maternal grandmother were rumored to have Native American blood, but I guess it was just legend. ;)

If it's just legend for me, I imagine I'll be disappointed, too. But not deeply. It was my granma who told me, and I loved her no matter what.
