Estonia... Equipped with my new-found Eastern European genealogy, I’d love to brace the easterly winds and pay a visit to cities I’ve had on my bucket list for some time – Tallinn and St Petersburg. Being mixed race, I had always identified my heritage as being half of one thing and half of another. My results have reshaped seeing heritage as only two family histories – it’s eye-opening to see that there are many nationalities in my DNA. It’s reminded me how much of the world is, in fact, ‘mixed’, and will continue to be as long as people keep travelling and experiencing new cultures.
