I really don’t understand the motivation for anyone to do it. I just figure that all of us are ‘mixed-up-and-turned-around’ genetically; and it’s not going to change my life any to find out the percentages...I’m still just gonna be Me ;-)

(I’ve never really understood the craze for genealogy at all - I grew up in a family which included some members who prided themselves over our ‘bloodlines’; and it does give you a subjectively valuable sense of history and connection to it, to know who some of those ancestors were, and to think about their lives and times.

But it always struck me that any genealogy could only be as valid as the women were honest..;-)
