My DNA is R1b1b2

Yup, I had my DNA traced as part of a very cool project by The Genographic Project, a partnership by National Geographic and IBM (the number at the top is just the beginning).

But then I was also given the option of putting it in a database called Family Tree DNA where I’ve had it deepened, as well as having my Mother’s side done.

The first project traces migration and the second helps me identify people to help fill in gaps in genealogy. I’ve learned that part of me lived in Africa at one time, as well as the land of the Teutonic Knights, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Wales, French Canada and England…

Personally, I’ve lived in Idaho, Utah, Washington, California, Alaska as well as North Carolina. But dating from the early years of the 1600’s, part of me also lived in Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri, South Carolina and Quebec. And I’m just getting started.

Yup, in the words of both the Animals and Hank Williams Jr., “I’ve been around.” Let me know if we crossed paths.
