I just sent for my Ancestry DNA test. Want to find out if the girl my mother's grandfather married in Indian Territory in 1902 was Native American...Mom kept insisting she was, but searches on the family tree have hit dead-ends.
At least all this geneology research is keeping me occupied this winter! On my father's side, I can get back all the way to the Lord Chamberlain of King Henry II of England (the 1100s), and possibly farther to William the Conqueror (1066). Before that it's a bit hazy, but I may even be descended from Kenneth MacAlpin, the first King of Scotland (born in 810 AD)...Fun to speculate, anyway!
And it gives me good material for historical fiction I'm working on writing.
