Hello #GenHour, I am just landing back in New York following a work trip on the west coast. I had a great time.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time for #genealogy research this week.

Hi #GenHour, I spoke with my distant cousin in France on Sunday. It went really well! She is around my age and is really interested in her family history. I shared with her information about our family history, which stretches back 500 years. Our video call lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours!

And I posted this an hour too early because I forgot that the UK already changed their clocks back! Oops, 😂

Hi #GenHour, I hope everyone has been having a good week! It's a stormy afternoon here in New York City. Perfect weather for settling in and doing some #genealogy research!

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)

The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

#Melissa's landfall intensity of 185 mph/892 mb ties it with the Florida Key's Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 as the record minimum pressure of any TC making landfall *anywhere* the NATL basin. I feel for the residents of #Jamaica 😞

Not since 1935 has anyone experienced a storm like Melissa. Melissa's record wouldn't have happened without climate change, which made the hurricane's winds about 10 mph stronger, according to a rapid attribution analysis by Climate Central. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/cata...

At landfall in western Jamaica, Melissa’s 185 mph winds and 892 mb pressure tied with the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 in the Florida Keys as the strongest on record for the Atlantic.

Hurricane Melissa this morning up until landfall.

Just incredible imagery of an historic storm.

Holy mackerel, what a dropsonde….

This explicitly supports Melissa being a 145-150 knot hurricane 😳

A jaw-dropping view of the sun setting on Hurricane Melissa tonight.

Melissa continues its approach to Jamaica as a powerful, major hurricane.

It's getting tough to put into words how bad this looks for Jamaica. Here's my futile attempt this evening.

Is the Ancestry website working for anyone? It seems to be down.

Hi #GenHour, this is the big #geneticgenealogy news of the week. MyHeritage is transitioning to a low-coverage WGS test.

I may look to test again directly with MyHeritage if the results can help with resolving their imputation issues.

What are your thoughts?
A big announcement today from @myheritageofficial.bsky.social. They are transitioning to low-coverage whole-genome sequencing for their direct-to-consumer DNA test heralding a new era for genetic genealogy. cruwys.blogspot.com/2025/10/myhe...

Hi #GenHour, Ancestry is out today with their updated ethnicity estimates.

Have you seen any significant changes?
October 9, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Hi #GenHour, I'm posting a little early since I will be busy for much of the hour this week.

Most of my free time lately has been devoted to my Y-DNA Series. I'm happy with the output so far, and my latest video has received nearly 300 views in just a few days.

My next video will be out tomorrow.
My latest video in my "Decoding Your Y-DNA" series is titled "Y-DNA and Human Migration". I think many might find it interesting!
