want to know their history and ancestry because they do not really care about it. Me for example,before this capstone project, I would never tried to find out what is my ancestry is. I knew that I am Asian and from Tajikistan that all. My grandmother is historian and of course she knows our ancestry better than me.

an a DNA test help you find your Native American Ancestry? After some study and discussion with participants, I’d say the answer is maybe, it depends.

I always desired to find out when it comes to my family, why although my surname is Hampton I am not related to anybody else with that same surname besides my Father’s sisters and brothers. To proceed in the research of my first name, I had to look for information on the (Behind the Name) site, (Biography) site, The Name Book, and administer an interview with my Mother. Next

My grandma’s favorite saying is “dang nabbit” when she gets mad or hurt. When she says that, I laugh. My family is my genealogy. This paper is about my genealogy research.

I believe that one time my grandma told me a story. It was about her growing up as a kid. She did not have any sisters or any girls living anywhere near her cause she lived on a farm. What she did have was 3 brothers. Since she lived with boys growing up she did a lot of boy things. An example is for fun instead of playing with dolls she climbed trees with her brothers.

When it comes to what is important to me, I have numerous things that I am passionate about. Included in that list of important things are animals, but more specifically, dogs. Dogs are a very important part of my life. I cannot think of a time when I did not have a dog as a part of my family. In short, dogs are incredible.

My first impression of Dr. Vollner was that she is incredibly laid back and easy going. She was extremely fascinating to listen to because she made the material very interesting and relatable. She mentioned that it had been a while since she taught this course. I think it’s awesome that she has taught this course, because it made her lecture more enjoyable.
