I am a DNA novice so I’m busy exploring what it all means: migration patterns of my ancestors from 1700 through 1925, and my DNA matches with 652 fourth cousins or closer. As yet, I have not figured out the meaning of 150 ethnicity regions and the numbers associated with them in my profile.
I am particularly fascinated by the 6% Iberian DNA. There is much to learn!
With everyone elses’ excitement over their DNA, I’m getting closer to doing it myself!

You know, I waited for a long time. Talked myself out of it. But when the price dropped before Christmas from $99 to $59, I gave a big Christmas gift hint to my eldest daughter 🙂 Hope you do your DNA one day soon. It’s quite fascinating!

Yes, I hesitated for years due to cost. And, I thought it best to trace my ancestors with vital records. But couldn’t resist the Christmas sale at Ancestry reduced from $99 to $59. Actually I put it on my Christmas wish list and my eldest daughter’s family gave it to me as a gift. Too bad the price is high in Japan. It’s important to gather data from around the world. Japan has such interesting history and genetic heritage!

Good luck on your new DNA quest! I did the DNA test last year and really enjoyed it.
