00:00So for you, how did your DNA surprise unfold and what was the moment of realization?

00:05Well, for me, it took many years for my unfolding, I guess, for lack of a better word.

00:11I began to have the first, there were things that happened throughout my life that I was like, it didn't sound quite right.

00:17But the first true discrepancies began when my family took Ancestry.com test for just for fun.

00:24And that happens a lot in the DNA world.

00:26It's just, hey, let's all get together and let's do these tests.

00:30Funny part of my story was that my husband looks just like Paul McCartney.

00:33So we laughed about the fact that he would come up and come back British and not full-blood Swedish,

00:39but ends up that I was the one with the big twist.

00:42And when the results came back, I showed 28% Scandinavian and my mom and my brother had none.

00:48That was, yes, things have been said, but that was the biggest indicator for me that.

00:53And then from there, my questioning and getting down to the bottom of it was just, it just took, you know,

01:00it was really over a 12 to 13 year period.

01:02So far as I was told.

01:02So,

01:03we said,

01:04so we're going to wait.

01:05So,

01:06so we'll be really into the tared,

01:06so we were going to see the text the end.

01:07So,

01:08we we're going to trade back,

01:09so we don't need to wear a black,

01:11so we're going to haveogg bus trips.

01:12We're going to say we're going to see there.

01:13We're going to be again and without saying the word,

01:15So,

01:16we're going to get,

01:16that's what's going to explain the word.

01:17But being part of that,

01:19that's what we're going to do,

01:21we're going to me,

01:22and the comments are saying we're going to be going.

01:22So if we're going to give you a bigger subject,

01:24we're going to see how come to place a discipline that went on top of it.
