  1. My youngest had ancestry done. My sons thought they were 1/2 African, half Sicilian Italian. Those elements were on my son's report but not 50/50
  2. Glenn, please tell more about the picture. My sons girlfriend happened to come across a binder I have of my husband's African roots. and ancestors. He was easier to trace but no picture of his earliest relative/slave on this continent.
  3. In my family, I was the secret and it makes the identified person feel uncomfotrable, and unmatched due to the whispers,sidelong glances, and rolled eyes. I feel this is a type of informal adoption and the sooner people are honest about the birth, the better off all will be. I also think this is the motivation for many seeking DNA answers.
  4. My bio dad, EDdie had a brother, now deceased, and I met one cousin thru his line (1970s), that I could not find again. Some of my mother's line knew Eddie as he was a lifelong friend of my maternal grandfather. Eddie had moved to Florida to live with or near my rwo maternal aunts and died there. When I heard (thru my brother ED) he had passed, I called his brother Bob, whose number I had. He answered, "Is this Pauline, the school teacher, Margaret's daughter?" Why yes, it was. Eddie told me he was leaving me "something." If it was a picture of the thoroughbred race horse we co-owned, I would have liked it as I Iost my only picture of that horse, Brian B. Run. If Eddie had money left behind around my Aunts (both deceased,) I would not have seen any of it. My mother moved a lot and we never were able to keep things. My husband (now deceased)moved a lot, also. Other than myself, Eddie died without issue, not without issues. My mother and her sisters could not keep hold of things. They were spenders and had a number of addictions. I'm the saver. What DNA company is recommended? Side notes, Myolder brother is named ED: I believe mybio Dad is named Ed" My maternal grandfather was also ED. When there is or are secrets in the family, it is damaging
  5. I messaged my youngest sister an just asked"Do you know if anyone took a dna test?" I might pay for my older sister to take a corresponding test. We are at least halves.
  6. Whoops, teapot dome scandal was during Harding's admin.

  7. My genealogy question: My birth certificate dad, (Jim deceased) was my mother's husband, but most probably not my bio dad,Ed, also deceased. JIm had three children with my mother, not including myself. He had 4 children with his second wife, also deceased. The youngest child of his has passed away.His children from second wife consider me their sister. Dad knew, but didn't tell.I would like to know my real parenting and maybe do a DNA test. Should I confide in my younger "sisters"or just live with this? Those who have daddy dilemma understand. I am a senior citizen, now, and may not be able to know for sure.
  8. One month ago today, my ongoing Bible Student passed away. I had a new call and she is studying, now. I'm thankful for that. Tonight will be noisy in NY, fireworks.

  9. I learned to drink Timmies when I was in Maine. Have been to Montreal, so long ago. My late husband's ancestor is recognized as the first black slave on PEI. My two fathers (birth cert and bio dads have Canadian roots.
  10. in my esl class, i had students introduce themselves: Ahmed: Ahmed Next student, Hi Ed
  11. One of my students fillled out her intake. Naming her boyfriend as next kin, she spelled it: Fee Yawn Say
