Once again, MyHeritage has found me another distant cousin. I have found someone related to my Russian 7th great-grandfather. I don't get matches like this on Ancestry. I don't understand people who won't give MyHeritage a try. So thankful for MyHeritage.
The lowest price ever. My family has had two major breakthroughs with MyHeritage DNA tests and none on Ancestry, 23andme, LivingDNA, and Family Tree DNA. Don't you wonder what DNA matches you are missing for less than $20? www.myheritage.com/dna

Waiting to hear from a MyHeritage DNA match from Greece. Her father was born in my Russian great-grandparents' village. We don't have a common surname. Just found my great-grandfather's brother's family on MyHeritage last month. I don't get those who won't pay for a $29 MyHeritage DNA test. Why?

I haven't had any experience with archives in that area of Poland. Has your friend joined any Polish genealogy groups on Facebook? Those groups are pretty helpful with knowing the archives in Poland. I hope your friend has a family tree on MyHeritage to help make some connections online.
What can I help with?
A search engine is available on the only database needed to find all the Ukrainian archive records going online in the massive nationwide effort. My post has search tips and a 4-page free downloadable file on using the database with Google Translate . lostrussianfamily.wordpress.com/2026/02/07/v...
So awesome! Made my first sale on Fine Art America. I had a great memories with my kid getting this photo. Got the photo in time before the tide came in while we walked far out on a sand path. We saw a baby shark that died along the path. fineartamerica.com/saleannounce...

Quite the insensitive naming of a Jewish toddler sample at 23andme. Caitlin Hollander Waas, Chief Genealogist at JewishGen, posted about this on LinkedIn. Will 23andme identify all "inbred" samples? The poor child was murdered. www.linkedin.com/posts/caitli...
