After getting your DNA results, you begin to realize that you always have your Ancestors with you. They are the building blocks that make you the person you are! In a way, they never die, as long as there is a person alive who carries their DNA. The line goes back in time, and continues forward in time forever.

That 's so true.
Powerful
Okay in from lowndes county, Georgia. Just to be sure. Thats where his great grand from? If so, looking at that land with the big tree in the middle. I drive pass that land alot. Its amazing to look at all that field. And theres a house off in the woods on that land.
When he said -it makes me want to go and touch it- Powerful learning and tracing your roots your Ancestors come alive they aren't just a name on a piece of paper.
