you can supposedly pay for a genetic test that will tell you the deep history of your genes....

I think it is really interesting and am thinking about participating..

6. I am curious about mine because my maternal ancestry is Lithuanian

as far as I know...and with their isolated language which is considered IndoEuropean and not Slavic...I am wondering what trail my ancestors may have followed...
