  1. Several of my relatives have now completed the AncestryDNA test at Ancestry.com. I would like to get feedback from readers of your blog on the ethnicity results we have received. I have a PDF file that summarizes the results using the first names of each contributor in a tree diagram, but it is not clear to me if I can post that file here. Is that a possibility? Thanks! dm.
