The Make Up of Me

    I don't have any family history to share today but I have been wanting to share my DNA Painter image. This image has many colors. It has more empty areas than it has colored areas, for now. I am ever so slowly adding to it bit by tiny bit.  I have been working on this off and on for almost three years. This is a visual representation of my DNA make up. The numbers down the left side represent my chromosomes: 22 and X. The background lines of pale blue and pink represent my maternal and paternal lines on each chromosome. The different colored bars represent the DNA I have from a specific individual ancestor or ancestral couple. Each of these colored bars represents a piece of the most complex jigsaw puzzle ever put into place with hours of researching until my eyes are crossing.
