What started with a simple DNA test has led to massive discoveries, family reunions, lost parents, grandparents and a soon to be traveling documentary in the making.
I didn’t know what I signed up for when I took this Ancestry dna test , but oh boy has it left an indelible imprint on my life.
This journey began in 2014 when I first took my DNA test. 4 years later A long lost cousin by the name of Warin reached out to me and asked about my great grandmother. I knew right away, that was my family.
I immediately began to cry. Could this really be my grandmothers family I had been searching for . See I grew up not knowing anything about my family line. By the time I reached 18, literally all the elders in the family were deceased. this left a void and many unanswered questions. I spent most of my adult life on a quest to find answers. Taking the DNA test was the first step in this journey that would lead to many answers.
Without hesitation, I registered for that family reunion and started sharing with them all of the research I had been collecting over the past 4 years.
My dream of meet family was beginning. And it began with an invite to my ancestral home in Harlan Kentucky to meet over 100 family members. Talk about blast from the past… my world was changing.
More to come about the reunion.
This Well Runs Deep
