About
My name is Justin Petrone, I am a journalist and author, and I have been researching my family history for over two decades. In doing so, I discovered some of my ancestors' deep roots among the first nations of Virginia and North Carolina. This blog details my research.

So, I received the results of my Geno 2.0 test. I was surprised, because the Northern European component was much smaller than I expected. While half of my ancestors came from Northern Europe, most of them from England and Ireland, … Continue reading
