    3. Well, I have to eat my words on this one. The program kept me fully engaged for the full two hours, and I even got teary-eyed a couple of times. I do hope my cousins watched it - and I hope it encourages more people to get tested. Kudos to PBS and Prof. Gates!

    3. We enjoyed it, too. I was hoping for a bit more on the DNA testing side, but as Dr Gates is a DNA match of mine on Family Finder, I won't be too critical :) On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 10:20 PM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <[email protected]>wrote: > Well, I have to eat my words on this one.

    3. Kewl on the DNA match. I'd rather hoped for something unexpected, like African or Amerind origin, but I'm boringly European. It was a kick to see the difference in ethnicity between myself and two of my first cousins show up quite dramatically. My father is Danish, grandson of an immigrant, while they have Italian fathers, sons of two different immigrants. The test really does work! > From: Dwight Holmes > Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2012 10:39 PM > > We enjoyed it, too.
