The BreakDrink Genome Project 

Jeff told Laura he recently completed a DNA test. Curiosity about personal history, and really the genetic results are what they chat about in episode no. 18. Besides learning about Texas citizenship (apparently that is a thing), Jeff unpacks his DNA results he received from his test o’ spit.

Here are a couple of common DNA companies we shared:

• Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/dna/
• 23andMe: https://www.23andme.com/
• There are SO many more, so you decide which DNA test is the best

Key ideas, notes, articles and interesting reads on the topic, we may have referred to during this episode:

• PBS: Finding Your Roots
• Following Your DNA Trail 
• More African Americans are Learning their Roots with Genetic Testing
