As we now study our ancestry (remember Roots?) I remember a teacher my younger son had in third grade. She told him she was more American than he. I had a quiet talk w/the school principal.

I took a course in "Finding your Roots" and really enjoyed it.

My relatives all claim to have "royal" or "noble" ancestors.     

 

Well, I gotta tell ya....they didn't jump on the boat for America because they were RICH...

I did the DNA test because I was interested.  Found out my sister is really my sister.  That was a disappointment.

Keep at it.  It's the absolute best excuse for some travel, ever!

My brother did one.  Found out either our great grandfather on my mother's side had an illegitimate daughter.  Her son contacted our family and met many relatives when he made a trip to my hometown.

None of it matters at all.

Ancestry for Apaches? Get real,  

Royalty like the Europeans?  What a joke.

Omg... we found out some pretty shocking stuff! Some of my siblings don't even want to talk about it. I think it's great, personally. So yes, I believe it does matter. 🤗

I enjoy doing it, but I stay away from the DNA side of it.
