Wherefore art thou?

fernwithy discussed a show called Who Do You Think You Are?, a show about celebrities (the first one being Sarah Jessica Parker) seeking their ancestry. I gave it a try myself to see what she was talking about.

My parents both did this - just send in a cheek swab and answer whether you're male or female, and the database will get back to you telling you what was the track that your ancestors took from Africa across the world - or, if like me, you have ancestors who went from Africa to the Mid-East and stayed there, where the rest of your family went. If you can get your father or a brother to do the same test, then you'll know both sides of your family tree for their ancient footsteps. Totally awesome, and a great conversation piece too.
