With the attack at Charlottesville recently, it's interesting to see news about white supremacist looking to DNA testing to prove their "whiteness". You will, no doubt, in the near future hear these very same people denounce the findings of DNA because it doesn't serve their agenda. Good!

Happily, for us all, DNA testing will only prove what we should all accept, we are an amalgam of everything and everyone. We are all brothers and sisters. The sooner we celebrate this the sooner our lives will be happier and content. So, even though I desperately seek every ancestor and every place those ancestors lived and died, I use this information to uncover history in it's truest form, with question marks. The truth is never easy, never black and white, never done by just a few heroes. Genealogy can help us work with historians to uncover the many layers of truth and mistakes.
