Hmmm. Now the 70% West African matches up perfectly with the result from my first admixture test through AfricanAncestry. If you missed the results from that test from earlier in the year, here's the link to that post My DNA Admixture Results Are In!

Adorable baby pictures with grandma.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvette. I think of her constantly. Such a sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful photos of a very happy and proud grandmother. Thanks for sharing... "warms the cockles of my heart" :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.

DeleteCharming pictures of your grandmother with the grandchildren. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
