Unknown Medical Background

This is a great giveaway and I would love to win. My parents didn’t tell me the causes of death for most family members and now there isn’t anyone to share that information with us.

Lifetime Dream
From Lorraine Brown on August 01, 2013 :: 10:23 am
It has always been my lifetime dream to find out anything I could about my relatives. Absolutely nothing was passed down beyond the knowledge that my great-grandmother came to this country aged 16, alone supposedly to find out if the “streets were paved with gold” and if so to get some and bring it back to Europe. Just always wanted to know anything else. Maybe this way I can.

What is my genetic heritage?
From Kim on August 02, 2013 :: 4:59 am
My parents were vague about our heritage due to their prejudices from WW2 and the suspicion we had a lot of German blood in us. I also think we have African American mixed in. Would love to definitively know.
