Power of DNA

My daughter was watching one of her favorite movies, Ice Age and there was a part there where Manny (the Mammoth), Sid (the Slot) and Diego (the saber tooth lion) went inside some cave and there they saw drawings which tells the story of Manny’s lineage and history. This made me think on how cool it is to trace my ancestral roots.

So out of curiosity, I made some readings and read about ancestry dna. I am a fan of all series of CSI (from Las Vegas, Miami and New York) and I have always been fascinated at how DNA works. With just a swab of saliva, the CSIs can get a lot of information about a particular person. With ancestry DNA, they can trace my lineage and ancestor’s history. Wouldn’t it be so cool if I will discover that my ancestors or my roots have been a part of history? LOL. I know that the brother of my grandmother was one of the Filipinos who participated in the Death March and so I am really interested to know more information about my ancestral past.

I showed it to hubby and he got excited too. I only spent a short span of my life with my father’s parents and so I am excited to get to know them more with the help of ancestry DNA. Cool!!
