😊 Have you ever made a family tree? Did you learn anything interesting about your ancestors?

[SallyCoretti]

I did the DNA test and so far I have met a half sister who was put up for adoption also at birth. We share the same Father but different Mothers.
My Sister and I share being sent away with Loving parents who were not to young to raise a family.
Thru Ancestry I found out that my birth Mother had passed away already. But my birth Father would
Not acknowledge that he ever had two baby girls, yet kept and raised his first son. Thanks to Ancestry his Son acknowledges that he has two half sisters.
Grandma and Grandpa could never have put a family tree together like mine. After all Ancestry has the largest Data Bank in the World .
And growing every day. Worth every penny .

I haven't made a family tree but I know that some relatives might live in Argentina or Uruguay. I cannot be sure. My paternal grandfather was from Uruguay. I'm from Spain and after the Civil War, some people had to flee due to their
political ideology, others went to some South American countries looking for a better life. Many thanks for the very interesting lesson. It's so great to learn something new every time. I'm amazed about the percentage of human DNA shared by everyone.

We made my husband's family tree by asking his grandmother the names of her grandparents and her husband's grandparents' names. She had a very good memory.
I also have my own family tree, also by asking my father and aunts about their ancestors.

In the past, I was rather gullible and hardly took anything with a pinch of salt.

[PlasticWorld]

Definitely don't sell your DNA for a test result that you have already known. If not, ask your parents and grandparents.

The ancestors of the people of Kerala are considered as Dravidian .. .So Iam also❤

[hyundonghak]

Interesting story is that most of Korean people have their family tree book, so we can trace down our ancestors. According to the confusionism the gods are our ancestors.
For example, I am a 31st descendant from the ancestor who had arrived in Jeju island that about 600years ago. But there is a trick. In 18th century the system of social classes was shaken because the middle class people were getting richer and the high class people were getting poorer. So the middle class started buying a family book from the high class people. That means most of the family tree books were fabricated. But we don’t know which one has been fabricated or not. It happened in China as well.

[KomodoSoup]

I don’t have to take the test, we are all related from one couple, shunned from heaven for defying the highest power in existence!
