If you are interested in Ancient History or your Family origins you should definitely consider one of these Family Tree DNA tests that will show you where your ancient ancestors come from.
They have a sale on at Family Tree DNA for $59 that will give you a map showing your ancient origins … mine came back as mostly European… Italy, France, Germany but also 2% Malta , 2% Native American and a small % Jewish …
Malta ? Where is Malta ?
I got my parents to do theirs to get more detail … they are both in their 80’s…
My mom’s came back as 4 % Native American (Ojibwe), 4% Malta and both have a small % of Jewish… Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi ??? Now I want to find out where that comes from…. I have a bunch of Germans in my Tree that must have been crypto or Converso Jewish.
Maybe also in Italy or Malta ? Now I need to travel to Malta….
