Family Lines

                                     
Hey everyone, how is everyone doing today?
Well, who just like me, been curious about their family lineage, or what is our true nationalities?

Now, mark me, what I am sharing, I'm not being sponsored for, or asked to share. This is on my own accord. I find it all fascinating. This path has started back in my junior year in high school when it was mandatory to do a family genealogy report.
At, the time, unfortunately, I could only access information about my mother's side of the family. My biological father and mother had been divorced since back in 1981, and I haven't had contact with him till 2014.

Well, last year for father's day, I purchased my charming husband a DNA kit from https://www.ancestry.com/.  Where they can show the nationalities of where the percentage of your bloodline is originally from.
My husband has been curious about the whole thing and kept commenting about how he would enjoy doing that, so I surprised him with it.
This year, the sneak got me a kit for mother's day. The main reason is mainly that I have no clue about any information about my paternal bloodline. I was informed by my father, that his paternal lineage was from Denmark and the maternal lineage was from Czechoslovakia.
Plus, the only story my mother had known about my father's family which seemed to pass down to lots of its members. When my grandfather's father came across, he was traveling with six brothers. There was a disagreement of some sort. That once they departed from the ship, seven versions of the name were formed.

Anyways, back to learning about the lineage. I did the DNA testing. It took about two to three months until I was able to get any results. 
I was surprised by the results. Most I was expecting, others I wasn't.
Plus, I was given a chance to expand my experience on the site to expand my research. There, I've learned lost family lines and how close my family is to each other. 
When my paternal great-grandparents and my maternal great, great-grandparents arrived to the states during the immigration era.

I am sharing this information, for I believe there are many just like me who has been curious and wondering who our families are and how are they related. Were they in the service? What is our heritage like?

I hope you all find this useful and of interest. And that it helps open eyes on what might and could be.

Have a good day, be safe, and stay healthy.
