Highlighted Blog #17 – DNAeXplained – Genetic Genealogy
Love a good story? This site will have you spell-bound. The author has a gift for research and bringing the past alive. It’s not a site to check out with a glance. It’s more of a “get ready to immerse” sort of site. For example, check out this narrative from the author’s ancestor, told in…
