Testing and Cousins

A few years ago, I mentioned that Clint and I did our DNA testing with the health components. We learned we both have the muscle composition of elite competitive athletes, have great genes for health, none of the genes for many major diseases, and much, much more. It's been fun and informative!

The best part has been finding family we never knew we had, meeting some of them, and hearing the generational stories. 

Due to our existing genealogy research that led to family to our immediate south, we were both surprised to learn we have so many relatives in the northern and midwestern states. It's many more than represented on the maps. The map only shows those who have been tested not their parents, siblings, spouses, children, and grandchildren.

It's been an adventure, and it is continuing to bless us!  

Through FB, we have also been contacted several times by others looking for family. They weren't blood relatives, but we gladly welcomed them as friends and exchanged tips.

As more and more extended family and friends discover the blog, we would love hearing what is similar to and different from our immediate family. 

Over the last few years, we have been very blessed by all of our newest cousins and friends near and far and consider each of you a gift. We love you all! God is good!
