The more I come to know about autosonomal DNA the more I realize that there are many challenges to knowing who we are.
That there can be a difference between the paper Ancestors & the DNA ancestors.
How confusing is that ? Papers versus the chemical make-up. Is there a difference?
Yes in my mind there is. The Paper trail shows us who is in the family line. While the chemical/DNA proves the paper trail. The DNA can be full of so many surprises though.
So when you do do your DNA you may have many surprises as to who you thought you were.
Like finding out you do not get a complete set of DNA from both of your parents.
What you get is 50% from both. That 50% is different for each child from that union. For me I have 8 living siblings. It could take 6 of us to be tested to find out the complete DNA we could of been born with.
What 50% its all in the mix of egg & sperm.
Good Luck in finding out yours!!! Oh what fun.
