When you’re a kid you think your parents know everything, but how much do they really know about their own story?
This is what we set out to discover with the help of the pupils and parents from east London’s Southwold Primary School. We asked the kids where they thought their parents were from and then asked their parents the same question. But were they right?
To determine the truth we put the parents to the test… the AncestryDNA test.
What came next was a life lesson that changed the way the parents saw themselves, and the world.
Find out who was shocked, who was surprised, and who received the surprise of their life as we let the kids reveal their own parents’ AncestryDNA results*.
A huge thanks to the wonderful kids, parents and staff at Southwold Primary School in Clapton, London who helped make this video possible.
