Photo by Alex Daw Barley Sugar It's been a while since I've blogged and boy do I miss it. Have you received an email from Ancestry lately suggesting you check out new traits? DNA doesn't lie, so they say, but I beg to differ. This will probably be an intensely boring post for those of you who don't really know me but I feel compelled to record my responses to the alleged traits for the amusement or interest of posterity and my family. 16 new traits have been identified for me. There are 56 identified traits altogether. Let's tackle the new traits first: Competitiveness - likely to be competitive - influenced by my maternal side apparently. Yes I agree but not with the side of the family. If you'd asked me I would have said the paternal side. My paternal grandmother was I believe intensely competitive - witness the articles I have written about her swimming prowess. I'm struggling to recall any competitiveness displayed by my mother or her father.
