Where in the world did your ancestors come from
 
I used National Geographic's DNA test and found out that I am Danish and Greek; now I want to trace my ancestors and find out who they were. Amazing what a swab to the inside of your jaw can discover.

German on my father's side, Scotch/Irish on my mother's side. My father's parents were first generation Americans who grew up in "Little Rhineland" in east-central Missouri.

DNA is the only search I would do although I have a great chart of both sides of my family that goes way way back. We don't like to bring these things up, but how can you count on knowing who your ancestors really are? Takes only one "love affair" to throw it all off.

My g.grandmother who always claimed to have moved from Ireland as an infant with her mother, was in fact born in London. Go figure. Got lots more digging on Ancestry. The small percent of Jewish genes, solved the mystery of my sudden catastrophic vision loss. I probably carry the "Lebors" gene.

I Googled "Lebors" and nothing came up. What in the world is "Lebors" and how does that affect vision and relate to Judaism?
