Juliet\u2019s FamilyTreeDNA Story of Discovery<\/h2>\n

Juliet grew up not knowing anything about her heritage. All she really knew was that she was Caucasian. She grew up without her father around, and had never seen her grandparents, even in a photograph. When she took the FamilyTreeDNA test, her entire world changed.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, she had cousins and uncles. She found a picture of her great-grandmother. She even discovered her Greek and Scandinavian ancestors. She got in touch with an uncle and encouraged him to take a test with FamilyTreeDNA. Eventually, he uncovered a picture of his parents and sent it to Juliet. That\u2019s when Juliet\u2019s FamilyTreeDNA story started to make sense. When she saw her grandmother\u2019s photo, she couldn\u2019t believe her eyes.<\/p>\n

Juliet\u2019s Ghost Twin<\/h2>\n

Juliet said it was like looking at a ghost, she was practically her grandmother\u2019s twin! When she showed her 32-year old daughter the picture, her response was, \u201cWhere did you get those clothes? And who is that man with you?\u201d \u201cThis is so much fun,\u201d says Juliet, \u201cit\u2019s like putting together a puzzle, and it never ends. I have learned so much about my family and the history of the countries they came from. I am actually smarter about the world than I was before I started all of this.\u201d In fact, Juliet has become the family historian for her father\u2019s family and made sure everyone tested their DNA.<\/p>\n

Although she sadly lost her daughter to cancer this past March, Juliet\u2019s FamilyTreeDNA story has a happy ending. She says that her family\u2019s DNA journey and discoveries have given her something wonderful to look forward to each and every day.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”74961″ caption=”yes” media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_caption=”yes” lbox_social=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”702666″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
