We had oral history in our family that indicated my paternal great-grandmother was Native American, but it turned out not to be fact. No surprises in my DNA regarding what was ... just a bit of a disappointment in what wasn't LOL.

In researching family history, Rex's brother found a lot of good things about her ancestors. It's really great to discover things that put ends to old myths and stereotypes.

You've found great stories here, but I just know that there are many more success stories out there. I don't know any personally, but it can't all be bad news. Maybe the successful people are just too busy living their lives!!!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
