Expert genealogist weighs in on mom’s habits, behaviors, and funny “quirks”
We’ve all heard “I got it from my Mama” - and with Mother’s Day approaching, there is no better time to celebrate mom than by discovering what makes her, her. Spoiler alert: a lot has to do with genetics. Is she a night owl or an early bird? Picky eater? Introvert or extrovert? And which of those traits have been passed down? Mother’s Day is the perfect time to find out and celebrate all that moms are!
Whether it’s physical traits we can see or behavioral and personality traits we can’t, our DNA can be used to predict the influences on 46 genetic traits such as cilantro aversion, finger length, caffeine intake, and likelihood to play an instrument - and whether they were passed down by Mom or Dad. Nothing says “Happy Mother’s Day” quite like “Thanks for giving me life, and zero musical talent”. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to tap into the essence of who we are and where we come from - perhaps at the heart of honoring mom, besides the gifts and special meals, is having some authentic conversation to learn more about who she truly is.
In interviews on Tuesday, May 7, Ancestry Genealogist Crista Cowan will be on hand and available to offer some insights into the traits that make mom who she is, and how they may have impacted your own features and behaviors.
