A1: Yes! My parents and I did an https://t.co/Ag1KcBAmZh test. My results are not very surprising, but it was interesting to see small Swedish and Norwegian roots. ;) #CultureTrav

#CultureTrav A1: my uncle has, over the last 30 years, spent a while tracing his family tree. He's finding it much easier now in the days of sites like ancestry.
