#DNAGenealogy #Genealogy I have finalized my DNA research project on the boyfriend of my grandmother and have identified the father of my half uncle. I used LEEDS, MyHeritage Autocluster, and DNAPainter. I want to write up the results and share with all of the families involved.

My sister Mary and I went in search of our father's boyhood home. My dad showed me back in the 90s. We found it. The biggest question as a result? Did my grandfather build the barn and outbuildings? We then stopped at the cemetery on our way home.

Good morning genealogy family. I am interested in creating and printing large descendancy chart for my family. I have a printer that can print 24X36 or 24x48 charts, but the genealogy programs (Family Tree Maker) don't seem to acknowledge any other printer that a 8.5x11 or 11x17. #genealogy

I share 87.95 cM with my top DNA match on LivingDNA. Not too promising. I recently joined, so maybe it will take some time to process everyone.

I used ChatGPT to enhance the only picture of my uncle. I first asked to enhance and then they if I wanted to change the background.

I just bought two books from Sweden that have pictures, family groups, and stories from the parishes of our ancestors. I can't wait. I saw these when I lived in Utah at the library. 😁😁

I gave a presentation on LEEDS, autocluster, and DNA Painter to Mid-Michigan Genealogical Society tonight. I’m always exhausted after I present. 😌

#AspenDental has cancelled a cleaning for the third time this year and four times in the last 8 months because the hygienist decided to take off (one time she was sick and I understand). Can anyone in the Lansing area recommend a new dentist?

I’m enjoying Outlander. It’s a really great series. I would have rated it outstanding if they had eliminated the sex scenes.

Today St. Patrick kicked the Vikings out of Ireland. He told them to go to hell and that is why they settled in Minnesota.

@yourdnaguide.bsky.social Great presentation at #RootsTech on Combine multiple DNA test types. I thought I knew all I needed for being an amateur genealogist. 👏👏👏👏

I’ve been binge watching RootsTech for the last 2 days. I can never binge watch a tv show because I get bored, but I can with this. That was until 9:00 and I had to stop. #NotAtRootstech

@danielloftus.projectinfant.ie I just watched your presentation at RootsTech. Great job. I felt that we were chatting about research instead of just listening to a lecture.

After very strong encouragement from two fellow genealogists, I am now using ChatGPT. I now can’t imagine doing genealogy without ChatGPT.

I like these six to ten episode on streaming. They are exceptionally written and bad episodes are minimal or none existent.

If you are looking for a good crime drama from Norway, watch The Lørenskog Disappearance on Netflix. The English dubbing is not too bad.

Oh look, I am now Norwegian and Dutch according to MyHeritage. 😨 My 10-year documented paper trail has me as Swedish and German. 🤔
