My Ancestry DNA Results

After working at Ancestry.com for nearly 4 years, I decided to finally get my own DNA tested.  I was completely shocked by the results!  I expected most of my DNA to be traced to Great Britain and that my test would look similar to my dad's:

But it turns out I'm mostly Scandinavian!  I suppose that explains my natural blonde hair and blue eyes.  I'll have to get my mom tested soon and see if that explains why I have so much Scandinavian DNA.

Daughter of the Utah Pioneers

Last month, I spent the afternoon at the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum in Salt Lake City.  I had never been there before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  

While I was there, I wandered into the Manuscript Department, and saw this picture hanging on the wall (sorry for the poor image quality):

I was very excited because I've never seen this picture before, but I immediately recognized my ancestor, Thomas Pass.  I spent the rest of the afternoon searching the DUP photo index looking for my ancestors.  I ended up placing a photo request for 39 people!  I can't wait to get them!
