I've never heard of people researching their DNA as genealogy. I don't know why it surprises me but it does. I have heard of people doing DNA research to find markers for genetic anomalies that might be helpful for investigating health issues but that's something completely different. That said, I'm proud of my mixed heritage whatever it may truly be. Since I've known from the beginning I'm of "mixed race" I've never really understood why people make a big deal of their genetics. I don't really know why I'm surprised, look at how many people pay big money for "researching their families Coat of Arms." As an aside, these folks always seem to claim royalty at some point in their past. Why do they never claim to be just plain folk, a much likelier probability. My family legends claim all sorts of things, but the only "pure" thing we all agree on is that we are 100 percent American.
