Why should you take the Ancestry DNA test?
1. Wondering where your ancestors came from? The test provides an “ethnicity estimate” which breaks down your ethnic mix into percentages by each world region.
2. You'll be matched to other relatives from all over the world (who you didn't even know you have) who've also taken the test and share your DNA. These people are your genetic "matches." It's possible they can help us trace our lineage.
Reason #2 is especially important for we, the descendants of John Culbert and Mary Ward. We've reached a "brick wall" in trying to trace our ancestors back further than John & Mary.
My hope is that by taking the test, Phil and I will be able to find "matches" who know more about our Irish roots than we do. Even if they don't know more than we do, by examining shared information with our matches, we may be able to make progress in tracing our lineage. We still don't know exactly where our Irish ancestors lived or their names. It's possible DNA testing can help break down that wall.
Why haven't I found our ancestors yet?
Many documents were destroyed in a fire at the Public Records Office in Dublin. While it's not impossible to find records of our family history, Irish genealogy is very challenging. By taking the Ancestry DNA test, you may further our chances of tracing our Irish ancestors.
