Yes, we had our DNA tested and found many relatives. It has been wonderful! "If you don't know where you've been, you can't know where you're going" to paraphrase a well known quote. It was so interesting to learn our biological roots. You can have a familyline going back generations to France, and not be French; or any other country. Borders are lines drawn from battles, take overs by royalty, disease, wars, migrations, etc. We call ourselves Americans but we all came here from other countries. Unless you are Native American. Have connected with many of our cousins and greatly increased our big family tree. I highly encourage all to try it. Find info on what factors are present, this is scientific, maybe not what your family history thinks, or maybe adds to it. We especially were interested in my husbands line as his father was adopted, and we had not knowledge of his actual parents. Seems accurate records were not kept back there. Now we have some knowledge.
