DNA Testing seems to be the next frontier in Genealogy. At times it's seems so hard to understand, yet has the potential to break down the proverbial brick walls, particularly when testing older members of the family.
Hopefully, the following story brings a smile and a laugh or two as you consider the centimorgans, MRCA #s, SNPs, admixtures, and chromosomes in your genealogical pursuit.

"I asked my 9 year old daughter's grandfather (my ex father in law) if he would take a DNA test because I'm working on her family tree and history. Her dad is deceased so I really wanted his parents to test. He said sure so I mailed him one out. She's actually visiting him this week and it arrived yesterday."
"My daughter called me tonight before bed and mentioned her grandpa may need another test because he messed up on the first one. He didn't have his glasses on and didn't see that it said to "spit" in the container. I asked her what happened and she said he thought it said the other S word and he has already mailed it back in! "
"I made her pinky swear that she's telling me the truth so I'm hoping grandpa is just pulling her leg (and mine!) because if he's really done that I'm just gonna die!"
