DNA Test

I have been stuck in my tree for a while. I just don't have more information to keep going. I need to find more documents to get more information about my ancestor.
So since I haven't had too much luck, I decided to give a chance to the DNA tests from Ancestry.com and let me tell you is full of surprises.

I was born in Mexico, so I knew my results would show Native American. But to tell you the truth, I thought it would show more that just 53% . The 43% is full of surprises.

I'm sharing my results here so that you can see how fun it is to find out all the information that is hidden in our DNA.

My DNA results.

If you are curious about where you are coming from, I recommend you start working on your family tree. And if you get stuck like me, give the DNA test a try.

My very first post about genealogy.

I'm sitting here listening to Second Chances by Imagine Dragons while I work in my genealogy. I don't know if is because I'm submerge in genealogy or the rhythm of the song. But it makes me think about all this people that are part of my blood that I never got to meet. I'm searching like crazy to find information about them and when I find details about them I get this urgent feeling to know more about them. But not just their birthdays, where were they born, or how many children they had and in what places they lived. I want to know what did they look like, what did they use to like, what did they did for fun.

I wish there was some kind of a portal to a dimension where I could communicate with them and ask them all kind of crazy questions. What kinds of thing got them in trouble when they were little. And the thing that I would love the most is to be able to give them a big hug. Because even when I have never meet a lot of them I miss them!!!!!! Yes, I know. Sounds crazy. But have you ever miss someone SO much that you wish you have them next to you and give them a big hug???? I have that exact same feeling with all this people I am learning about from my research on my family tree.

I haven't seen the faces of a lot of them but I can close my eyes and imagine what would they look like. I hope I'm worthy enough one day to meet them after this life and give them all that big hug I'm craving so bad right now.
