2)  Tell us your answers in a blog post of your own, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post.  Be sure to leave a comment on this post with a link to your answers.


a) Did you ever send a letter to Santa Claus?

No, I didn't. I probably written a letter to him as a assignment in elementary school.

b) Did you ever visit Santa and "make a list?"

No, I never visited Santa. I did make lists for parents, when I got older. Maybe starting around the ages of 8-10.


c) Do you still believe in Santa Claus?

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but the cause and purpose of the idea, I do believe. You tend to get in the jolly spirit around Christmas time. The excitement the holiday brings to children's faces is beautiful.


d) When did you find out “the truth” about Santa Claus?

I am not really sure. I don’t even remember my parents ever telling me about Santa. I think I always knew the truth. As a kid, I remember thinking, “How did Santa get in the house?” when there was no chimney. I didn’t care how the presents came in house, I just wanted toys.

Happy Holidays,

Lacie

The Truth May Come Out with DNA Tests

Last week, I saw a video on my recommendations feed. Of course, this intrigued me because the topic was about DNA. We all have seen the DNA testing commercials and the excitement they can bring to many people, but that isn't always the case. Over the years, the popularity of DNA tests has exploded. People have become interested in learning about their ancestry and where they came from. There is another thing about DNA tests-they can reveal family secrets. You probably have seen articles, videos, and even books about the effect on people's lives of DNA testing. This may change the way someone thinks about themselves and or their identity. In the theoretical example, "Sally" took a DNA test as well as her immediate family. 6 weeks later, she checked her results, all her family matched her, but Sally's sister didn't share enough DNA to be considered as a full sibling. Sally's mother tells her that sh...

Is Rose her Mother?

Currently, I am researching and trying to prove that Rose Mott is my great-grandmother’s mother.  This matters because  my great-grandmother, Clara, was adopted by her paternal aunt. I don’t know yet if it was legal, but in addition to that, her brothers were put in an orphanage. In a life story, she wrote about herself and what she knew about her paternal ancestry -but she made no mention of her mother. This makes me assume that she did not know who her biological mother was, or at least her name. Otherwise, I think she would have included her as she did with the other ancestral names. With all that said, it’s challenging to find direct evidence so far to definitively prove their mother-daughter relationship, but I’ve actually made major progress this year, which I’ll share more about in future posts. To get back in the swing of researching this question, I decided to revisit my process. So the first thing I did was review what I have or what I know. From there ,  I crea...
