Location: Texas | Ancestry.com is the easiest to use, IMO. You'll get hints in the form of a leaf that shows up in the right hand corner. There's LOTS of info on there. |

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | I did the DNA with Ancestry.com. My entire life I had been told my mother's side of the family had Cherokee. Well, my test revealed absolutely zero Native American. I'm mostly English/Irish/Scottish along with Swedish and Norweigen. It's been lots of fun following the DNA connections and building a family tree. Very interesting. Well worth the cost of the DNA test. I think they are having a $59 special now. |
