Thread Name: BS: my mysterous dna
Subject: RE: BS: my mysterous dna
I am having so much fun. Just learning it. Heard from someone who told me how to link to other sites with my DNA but it didn't work...but I have someone who can tell me now. Have found lots more fourth cousins, mostly on my mother's side. Her history is pretty good except for the Native American and Dutch lines. It is the Irish that is so sad. I have quite a few hits with Sheas..not on my tree..which only has six Irish names on it and two are French Irish. Possibly connecting iwth Sullivans. I am going to search by the main Irish names of my main area and see what I get. This of course does not mean it is where the connection is..you have to link to an actual tree with names, dates, etc....but so many Irish dropped literally off the face of the earth during the famine that so much is lost. And think how it would be for those brought here in slavery, or from China to work on the railroads etc. I am not a skeptic here. I think this is wonderful. I have quite a few definite connections..maybe about 8 I think and some more maybes. I have an ancestor, Obidiah COrnwell, who is like Ghengis Kahn and Neil of the 7 or 9 hostages in terms of leaving a huge number of descendents. I apologize for some of his activities however. Anyway, this is really valuable.
