I have two very exciting things to share with you! First off is that AncestryDNA has a sale until Midnight on Monday, August 23rd, 2021. One little tip to save some money is to order this through Amazon.ca. The Ancestry DNA kit is the same price at $89.00 but shipping is FREE and the tax…
52 Ancestors Challenge (June 14-20) I have to admit that for the first time, I am not looking forward to Father’s Day. That’s because this Sunday will be my first Father’s Day without my Dad. Wow, that was a difficult sentence to write. My father passed away from Esophogeal Cancer just 4 short months…
I don’t know why this post has been so difficult for me. I think it’s likely because when I think of Mother’s Day I think about my own Mom of course. Only I haven’t seen her in so, so long. What year are we in now? Gosh 2021. I haven’t seen her this year at…
I thought that in order to try and learn a bit more about my husband’s RAMSAY side of his family tree, I would look into AncestryDNA’s ThruLines to try and seek out some cousins on his RAMSAY line. It’s always good to reach out and ask for help, so why not try with other people…
I’m participating in Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors Challenge. The writing prompt for this week is On The Map. Every once in a while Ancestry releases updated Ethnicity Results for our DNA tests. I thought that was quite fitting. In case you are thinking, wait a second…how is it possible that my DNA could change?!…
The writing prompt for Week # 33 in Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors Challenge is TROUBLEMAKER. I will resist the urge to name my brother, kidding 😉 There have been a couple of ancestors that have caused me grief as far as my research goes, so to me they are the troublemakers. John Wright The…
This week for Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors Challenge the writing prompt is The Old Country. When I looked up the definition it states the native country of a person who has gone to live abroad. My Family Now for myself, I have lived in Canada my entire life, but I suppose the Old Country…
This week’s writing prompt for Amy Johnson-Crow’s 52 Ancestor challenge is TOMBSTONE. I’ve spent quite a bit of time over the years searching for tombstones since I became interested in Genealogy. That process kind of comes with the territory when you are researching your dead ancestors. So it’s not a surprise that I came across…
Trying to choose a “Favourite Discovery” is nearly an impossible task for me. I have just learned and discovered so many fascinating things by doing genealogy as a hobby. If I had to choose some of favourites, these would likely be in the running… informing my husband and father-in-law about their ancestors that came across…
There are two new features in the latest updates on Ancestry.com that are super exciting to me!! The “Additional Parent Relationships” is the first new feature that I noticed. It was a very much needed addition to anybody who has an adopted family member in their tree. My Mom was adopted as I’ve mentioned in…
