#Conformity is the Great Leveler, ain't it?

3 book reviews. If you are in any way interested in #DNA for #genealogy I highly recommend Bill Griffeth's books: "The Stranger in My Genes: A Memoir" and "Strangers No More: A Sequel" tells the in-depth story (and shock) of his DNA journey. "By Faith Alone: My Family's Epic History" adds the background and struggles through 400 years of #nonconformity and the family's journey from England to America via the Netherlands. @geneadons @genealogy #genchat #genealogy #migration

👯These two seem to be #dancing among the other straight and narrow #trees. Sometimes you have to break out like that.

I believe in setting an #example for the young'ns. I'll wear outrageous clothing, or pin up my hair so it looks like a big bow at the crown of my head. (I know, my profile photo looks normal.) Several times I've stepped happily along in my #nonconformity and watched Germans point me out to each other. I know I'm having more #fun.😉

A quotation from Lee, Harper:

«««««
“They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions,” said Atticus, “but before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
