Celebrate Mother’s Day with the gift of genealogy

JACKSON, Tenn. — 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 of it has to do with genetics.

Is she a night owl or an early bird? Picky eater? Introvert or extrovert? Which of those traits have been passed down?

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to find out and celebrate all that moms are!
