Welcome to my Blog!

Four years ago, I received a free DNA test from 23andMe's "Roots into the Future" project. With it, I began to discover my family roots. The test revealed my ancestry composition--the percent of your DNA that comes from the world's 31 populations--and a list of almost 1,000 cousins I never knew I had.

I have since discovered that I have roots in Colonial America hence the name of my blog.  Growing up in North Carolina one of the Thirteen British Colonies in a town founded in 1785 my family tree is deeply rooted in American History.  Follow me as I discover my genealogical history and my place in this Great American Melting Pot.
