Who’s read this?? I have only begun this book and having finished chapter one, the genealogist in me is loving it! The historian in me loves it. And the reader in me loves it. So what’s my opinion so far..? Loving it!
I have to wait until October to see the show at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, but I’m there in the story now. And it’s just making me more excited to see the show.
So if you have some extra time, I’d suggest checking out this book from your local library or purchase from your local bookstore.
And a little Thank you to Ron Chernow for writing this book.

I haven’t posted on here in quite a while and would rather like to try to get back to it. So I figure, why not start with the SCGS Jamboree that is coming up this summer?
Make sure you check out their page at http://genealogyjamboree.com/ for all the info you need. I have been to this convention a few times and is always well worth it.
If you are new to the world of finding your lost ancestors, then you should definitely check this out. There are many different lectures to choose from and there is always the shopping… oh the shopping.
Hope to see you there in Burbank!

Found this at WalMart tonight while perusing through the aisles. If you have been considering buying a 23andMe DNA test but unsure due to the cost, perhaps check this out at your local store. You pay for the physical test for $29.00 and then pay online for which test you want later on instead of all at once. Been wanting to get those for a while now, so I’m a happy camper. Will share when the results come in. #DNATest #DNA #23andme #genealogy #genea #heritage #dnakit #DNAPaymentPlan #walmart #genetic

This is a very good question posted by Ancestry.
I honestly don’t know what I would ask… I have too many questions and I think it would depend on which ancestor… haha!
Perhaps I would ask my ancestors that are my brick walls and ask them “where do we come from?” (And then as for any paperwork they might have hahaha!).
What would you ask??

So this happened and I am wondering, what would you do in my situation?
First, a little history. A few years ago I had some family members’ DNA tested through Ancestry.com. Nothing major in the results, we discovered really nothing new, just the usual cousin match list, details on their DNA and how it differed from mine, and so on. Fast forward to nowadays, and there is now a new relationship match my family member received on his Ancestry.com DNA match list. Those of you that are unfamiliar with the match list on their website, when you have a DNA test done, the results you receive will show what parts of the world your DNA is from, and there will be a list of cousin match’s. Pending on who you have tested, it’s almost always cousins, but the more people that take the test, more likely there will be closer blood relationships that show up.
Enter my situation. My family member who tested, had a new match. A very close relation match. A child. A NEW CHILD. Not only is this person the correct age for being their child, but they also look like other family members! This person is completely new and to my knowledge, unknown to be out there in the world.
After reaching out to this person, they never replied and obviously either does not want to know any information or is not ready. Either way, I tried. Now here is my question: Do you tell your family member???? This child does not want contact with their biological family, do you still tell your family “hey, guess what happened??”, knowing they do not want anything to do with them?
This could potentially cause a major disruption in their lives, in all our lives, perhaps unnecessarily. Maybe even cause some damage.
So what would you do? Keep the secret or tell? Please share your thoughts on this. Thank you!

This is why I am always so very careful and I do. OT copy other people’s trees. I know others do, and they think “wow I traced my family tree all the way back to (insert name of a king here) !”
When actually, yeah maybe not… lol
Always do your own research and find the facts and get your sources. Maybe if you want to use public trees, use it more as a guide, not as proof.
