RE: Steemit Blockchain Memory Project

in #story6 years ago

This test is very interesting to have done. We had quite a few family traditions shattered by the results. My father was always told he was of Shawnee Indian heritage but we discovered he is from an Ashkenazi Jewish (j2) genetic haplogroup. I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

That's fascinating, must have been quite something to discover!
I'm very curious, we come from such a mixed group - great grandfather was Scottish, married an Afrikaans lady, apparently when they met he could not speak Afrikaans & she could not speak English, so there must have quite a spark there, and they apparently had a long happy marriage :) Then we have German and English as well as Dutch, a real mixed bag :):)
I'm digging into the archives of memories, going to start with holidays, quite a change from childhood to now, will start with childhood :)

It really was something! It's strange but it gave me a bit of a new identity to realize my true heritage. We all have an olive complexion and dark hair so the Native American made sense until we found out the truth. Oh wow, you do come from a diverse background! What an amazing story of your great grandparents. Love always finds a way. : )

Wow! Amazing love story, love does find a way.
Wow!
