Drowning in DNA
Well, short of a miracle, I think my DNA journey in the here and now may have come to an end. My self-imposed target won't be met, unless thousands of folk suddenly get the urge to test.
I'd like to say "comme ci comme ça" but that wouldn't be entirely truthful of me, and I've tried to be nothing but honest in my journey and my motives.
There are too many permutations to be able to be focussed and analytical. I think I've more chance of winning the lottery, and I don't use that expression lightly as all your 'pay out' depends on other people entering.
I have met some lovely relatives, I won't name anyone here, as it is a public blog, but having contact with you is worth the journey. You are family, DNA doesn't lie, unlike people :)
I will, however, not be giving up. There is still a wealth of information to be had through DNA matching. I can find out about the lives of my relatives (even without knowing with one hundred percent certainty, the nature of our relationship within a family tree), and as that is my main love, I'm still going to have a loving and productive swim in my gene pool.
Maybe one day, a test will be taken which will click everything into place, but until then I will congratulate other people on 'being a bride, while I remain the bridesmaid'.
