Now this is interesting ...

@Tinkrbl44   Yes, very interesting.  Thanks for sharing.  My sister and I belong to three genealogical societies, and this puts it all into perspective!

I'm gonna FRAME THIS and show it to my relatives.     I don't resemble ANY of them...and they keep telling me that I'm adopted.     di

I have a lot of records and research going back to the 1700 but would love to have photos.  The earliest I have is of one great-great grandmother and her two kids.

That last paragraph is something more need to realize/keep in mind. I once had a conversation with a friend who told me her ancestors came to the US as indentured servants. That, of course, wasn't ideal but because they went through that, she has had a life of freedom that she wouldn't have had otherwise.

Lots of folks had to happen before I coudl be here  

Like Desert Di, I don't resemble family and I'm glad I don't.

We found out about lots of relatives by meeting people we discovered on 23 and me

My folks hit the soil in this country in 1644.  I do know that they came from England and where they lived there.  I don't know how much they have to do with who I am today.
