Everything we are doing to me seems so Pioneer. I just keep working at it. I don't want my DNA to be lost with my Descendants. My 1st DNA test was actually with the Military back in the day. Who knew? What big of a deal it is now. You can't have one with out the other meaning your papertrail. Thanks for mentioning these points. Great Source of information.True Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940407628932172511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-65281825688424475652015-02-24T13:38:49.571+00:002015-02-24T13:38:49.571+00:00Over the years I've tested with several compan...Over the years I've tested with several companies. I much prefer 23 and Me to Ancestry as it lets me compare much more closely. I do have my tree connected to my ancestry test. I have gotten several cousins to test so I can often see which line the distant cousins match. I haven't been able to place any new found cousin's on the tree. This is probably because slavery disrupts my knowledge with so many unknowns.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-40141030544048894952015-02-23T00:47:47.114+00:002015-02-23T00:47:47.114+00:00Thanks for commenting Schalene.

I don't have my tree online but I do,list family names and places.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-19890746049888075812015-02-22T02:36:41.529+00:002015-02-22T02:36:41.529+00:00I tested with AncestryDNA and uploaded my test res...I tested with AncestryDNA and uploaded my test results and Tree to two other places. There's still a lot I don't know about DNA but it has helped me proved two theories I had about maternal lines. You still need the research to get the most out of your DNA experience. And without a tree built out 7 or more generations, it can be frustrating.<br /><br />My only comment about not linking your tree to you AncestryDNA test results is this: unless you are a close cousin match that surprised me, I am going to ignore you because you've given me nothing to work with. I will click on your profile to see if you do have a tree but if you don't I move on quickly.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.com
