I’ve been thinking about taking one of those genetic genealogy tests.
I just realized that I wound up forgetting to participate in the family surname dna project, oops. I guess I saved $100 or whatever it cost. And I can still get tested anyway.
Several FReepers including me have been tested. It confirmed what I already knew. My male ancestors came from Iberia right after the last ice age, settled in Britain and didn’t leave. A few of them migrated to North America in the late 18th century, which is how I came to have a Southern drawl.
