Hi, my family also come from Sparta. You have done a good job with the website. I dare say my DNA results would be similar to yours, but I haven’t submitted a sample yet. Keep up the good work.! Yiasou, George.
Hi George — do let me know if you decide to take a DNA test. It can be a real eye-opener, and it can lead to learning more about our family roots when we connect with new “cousins.” Thank you for reading my blog!
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt thoughts, emotions and love, regarding your mother to the world.
