Amazing Things I discovered About My Family
By Steven Skelley
I had been thinking about ordering an AncestryDNA kit for a long time so I was very excited when I got the opportunity to review one.
Since both of my parents and both sets of my grandparents are deceased, I have no one to ask about our family history. I have often looked through old family photos and wondered, “Who is that?”
My husband and I have helped several elderly people turn their family memories into books their families can cherish. I value family and heritage.
