I recently found out that my 9th great grandmother was a African slave and I'm as white as they come, or at least I used to think I was as white as they come lol. Anyone else find any surprising results?

No, because I don't give a shite about my family's past.

So now it all comes full circle why you miss drinking KoolAid as a kid so much.

My aunt filled ours out as a hobby for about a year with our great aunt who is over 100 now. Apparently my 6th cousin is Julia Roberts. Other than that it's just your standard issue honkey tree stretching back to Ireland in the 17th century

I found out through ancestry.com that I am descended from Arthur Middleton, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. I also discovered that, in the same family line, that I am a fifth cousin of Baldur Von Schirach, who was the leader of the Hitler Youth and got 20 years at Nuremberg, so I got that going for me.

Don't do it. It's a scam.

I don't think it's a scam. The information lined up with previous research done by a family member many years ago.

Always thought I was cajun and American Indian - did the dna test and find out I'm Irish. I'm still not going to root for Notre Dame.

My grandpa always told me we have kin folk that died in every american war, and that made him american as they come.

Holy crap, he was right. At least one fatal casuality in every war going back to french/indian war

Typical bama fan.

Probably because there arent any records of births in the woods. Especially when no one in the family can write
