Win a DNA Test for Mother’s Day! #momsdna

Each of us gets about half our DNA from our mother and half from our father, so it’s really no surprise that we can all think of characteristics and traits that we’ve received from our mothers.

Growing up, I always admired my mother’s sense of optimism. It didn’t matter what was happening in her life, she was always thinking of the best case scenario. She never allowed herself to be dragged into thinking about “what if?” The funny thing is that most of the time, things worked out just as she hoped and imagined. I like to think that her positive outlook has passed to me. I hope that, in turn, I will pass that on to my own children.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we want to hear about the best qualities you’ve inherited from your mothers. Whether it’s a sense of punctuality, or life lessons, our mothers’ DNA will always be with us. One lucky user will be chosen to win a MyHeritage DNA kit, to advance their family history journey.

We decided to kick off the competition by asking MyHeritage employees to tell us their favorite characteristics that they’ve received from their mothers. Watch the video with their answers here:

Ready for a chance to win? Share one trait that you’ve received from your mother in the comments below using the hashtag #momsdna. We’ll choose one winner and highlight some of our favorites in a blog post.

We look forward to reading your entries! How will you celebrate next week?
