12. I thought I was bad at spitting

Sun Aug 3, 2014, 02:44 PM

Aug 2014

Until I watch my husband try to do it. I had no trouble getting enough spit, but my husband had to work at it.

Now I wish I had paid for a third test. My cousin is a straight male line descendant from one of my brick wall ancestors (John Tucker b.1798 SC, d.1889 AL) and I'd like to have him tested. But I think I will have to pay for the Family Tree DNA Y-DNA tests to get any meaningful results.

Once I get my Ancestry results, I plan to import them into the Family Tree Autosomal database to see what that tells me about our lines. Since both sides have been extensively researched, it will be interesting to see how the research and the DNA line up.
