Congratulations! Wonderful product!!
Not a good idea
Best by far Actually, it &FTDNA has it all. Ancestry's 2024 was a fiasco - response even worse. Breton (makes sense)/Dutch 12% comes from 1000-1300 with close ties with Westphalia&Franconia et al and mixed logically with Denmark, Germany and Sweden and nobly internalized until we left 1853.
doing some research and label said he died in Sutton Texas but the doc itself said was Sutton,Mass - but reading everything that he was on a train trip from Sutton, QC where he lived to visit his daughter in Sutton, Mass and it was returned. The relative lived in Russia so wanted to get it right
Despite massive storeshouses of information on some parts of the family, I keep turning up new things every week so to me "live accounts" seem to the way to go
With collaboration from Rupert Murdoch and Melania and Donald Trump
DEI was designed to put everyone on an even playing field and in my experience it has elevated meritocracy. DEI as favouritism only applies to MAGA as so many would be the first to be screened out based on lack of qualifications, experience and aptitude and for poor behaviour
Does it need 2/3 house vote and approval in the Senate?
I watched this too. I am very interested in mottos expressed (British -Irish) or implied pictorially (German, Courland) as rich in layers, turn of phrase, maternally imported et al) Donald Davies I presume
Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
Irish and Scottish Quakers?
I have noticed this from the very beginning. You will also notice that every accusation is a confession. I coined this phrase in 2014 and have yet to be proven wrong
I have more than half of my materials from 3 archives in Ireland, 3 in London, 5 in Latvia, 1 in New Brunswick, 1 in Tartu and 1 in Tallinn. Ancestry has a complete void in all this
Have you been to Barbados for genealogy sake or maybe that is in the future ?
We have Maryland and the Caribbean which started with a journey to the Baltic to the Romanov courts because of my discovery order
To get a will and all its probative material I went to St.Kitts, the NA and the Westminster one. Don’t you love pulling out those massive scrolls in what looks like body bags and could believe that with phone cameras you can stand on a stool and get very readable in a single shot
We are lucky that his gf’s sarcophagus was found and reasonably repaired and resting in the Ducal vault at Rundāle (where BBC shot War and Peace) because many others impacted by both Bolsheviks and Nazis
My 4th ggf’s is completely sunk but at least listed on their site under royalty and aristocracy
Mine is weird on dad’s dad’s side, My last “American” ancestor was my 3ggm in Tobago, America (“” from her father’s patent and in the Riga archives it is also so. Another wierd one is Anne Lloyd Yale Eaton as Theophilus Jr never went there. The third are Bladensburg dying before 1776
Visited there for the first time this summer - of course the beginning of the Christmas tree. Krišjānis Barons was born at our manor in Strutele
imagination - on my paternal father’s covers life in every country in Ireland north and south, 6 Caribbean islands, Moscow through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Holland, France, India , Africa and me 7 provinces in Canada .
Also newspaper syndication meant that a story may have appeared all over - but the collection may not include the original hometown one
One of many examples I have
Oops I went for the same era

When updating profiles on online shared family trees such as on FamilySearch & @wikitree.bsky.social, please make sure you aren't mixing up people. Most names aren't actually unique. I just spent 30 min. reverting changes made to my 5th great-grandfather's profile on FamilySearch. Sigh. #genealogy
Having been at St. Mary’s Limerick, Patrick features a lot of paternal family but I was surprised to find this maternal ancestor written up by him.
Loved Moody Blues !! Remember most of the rest.
Had a case where my 6th ggm who only lived in the UK had three additional concurrent husbands who only lived in the US. Her actual husband preached her funeral at St. Mary’s Rotherhithe and his brother was a Windsor Herald. Do family history was well kept lol
