Miss D asked:


The facts of my ancestory are somewhat fuzzy. My last name is of European decent, but my grandfather told me this was because his grandfather was adopted. I am not sure if this was actually true or not because my grandfather always told crazy stories. I have heard that you can have DNA testing done to determine your exact ancestory. Any info on this would be much appreciated!
