Your DNA test shows percentages, but Ancestry's Journeys update shows you the actual people behind those numbers. I clicked on one of my mom's ancestral journeys and discovered Maria Antonia deLa Ara—a real documented ancestor from 1757 whose life tells a story the percentages were hiding.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
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?
