Ancestry/Genealogy

I'll check my DNA profile on Ancestry and see what I can find out.

I always suspected the native American ancestor story might be a myth until my cousin told me he'd confirmed it. He was not the type to make up something like that.

He also discovered a great (maybe 2 greats) grandfather who immigrated from Germany sometime in the 19th century, settled in Georgia, and ended up getting drafted into the Confederate Army. (He was a dentist, so not on the front lines, and he survived the war unscathed.) Because of him, my daughter and I could technically qualify for membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a fact that we find both horrifying and hilariously ironic.
