I did a DNA test to learn about my ancestry, and I was surprised to find out I’m part Italian, part German, and part Irish. My grandmother always told stories about our family history, but I never knew we had such diverse roots. It’s fascinating to think about where we all came from.

我做了一个DNA测试来了解我的祖先,我惊讶地发现我是意大利、德国和爱尔兰的混合。我祖母总是讲我们家族历史的故事,但我从来不知道我们有如此多样化的根源。想想我们所有人都来自哪里真是令人着迷。
