A Historian Reacts to DNA Face Reveals

Today I'm walking through some of my favorite DNA face reveals, plus a Canadian artist's blended portrait work that fits right alongside them. Both raise the same question in different ways: how much can a face actually tell you about someone's ancestry? 00:00 - Intro: A first look at a mother and son "merged" face. 01:50 - Introduction to the work of Canadian photographer Ulric Collette. 02:30 - Two brothers (age 35 and 45). 02:42 - Two sisters (3 years apart). 02:59 - Son (17) and Mother (41). 03:16 - Son (33) and Mother (51). 03:30 - Daughter (37) and Mother (62). 03:36 - Three generations: Grandma (61), Daughter, and Granddaughter (12). 04:04 - Daughter (18) and Mother (49). 04:14 - Two brothers (33 and 30). 04:40 - Brother (22) and Sisters (20 and 23). 05:03 - Father (60) and Daughter (32). 05:26 - Sister (45) and Brother (36). 05:48 - Sisters (32 and 26). 05:58 - Father (64) and Daughter (37). 06:14 - Father (54) and Son (23). 06:31 - Mother (61) and Daughter (33). 06:55 - Daughter (13) and Father (55). 07:18 - Brothers (39 and 31). 07:47 - Sisters (42 and 35).

My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
