With them no longer taking uploads that will at least mean new kits will be WGS, plus others are likely going to do what we are.

Julie Muirhead (The Lineage Finder) @thelineagefinder.bsky.social · 12h

No rush, already have my 23andMe & Ancestry tests uploaded there along with a load of other kits I manage. Been there years before they started charging 😂

Took advantage of the special offer price for their test kits last night and ordered one. Curious to see the difference between my uploaded kits and a direct one from them.

Making the most of this view today as it's time to go home tomorrow. I'll be back here next September and no doubt very glad to relax after 8 months of hard work on the IHGS Diploma in Genealogy which I start in January.

A day trip to Bodrum, Turkey today seeing the Windmills, Myndos Gate & old Theatre. Followed by food & shopping.

That's normal, Munster is one for me. But as I lose many of my Irish at 3rd Great Grandparents it's a clue 😁

Julie Muirhead (The Lineage Finder) @thelineagefinder.bsky.social · 6d

Donegal comes up in my Mum's which is great as I have traced her paternal Grandfather's family to there

Julie Muirhead (The Lineage Finder) @thelineagefinder.bsky.social · 6d

I've lost any Viking but this is far more accurate than previous. South east england etc & southern Wales my only paternal (will be my hard to track Jones) rest maternal which fits perfectly with my tree and gives me clues to gaps in the maternal line.

Woohoo, the new Ancestry DNA origins update is here. Paternal is all the green and a little bit of Welsh. The rest is all my far more mixed maternal ancestry. This update makes a bit more sense to me as it reflects closer with my actual Family Tree.

Year 4 visiting Kos, year 6 visiting a Greek Island. Boat tours every year and have never seen wild Dolphins 🐬 until today 😁

Rain has started here, a bit less than a few minutes ago. Hotel corridors flooded in places staff having to try and get it cleared. No thunder yet but apparently coming.

Julie Muirhead (The Lineage Finder) @thelineagefinder.bsky.social · 14d

Apparently a storm here tomorrow that's not great, never had a drop of rain before here. UK had a better than normal summer and here having a worse than normal time.

Oh dear not good. A lot warmer than that where I am, although not as warm as other years. It's warmer today 27 but looks like stay will be 24-25. Last 3 years been between 26 (1 day) & 35.

No #Genealogy for me for a couple of weeks. Just gorgeous views like this from a sunbed looking over towards Bodrum, Turkey from Kos, Greece.

A bit of #History will be thrown in when we do some day trips.

I use Rootsmagic associations, it's very helpful to make connections between people for different subjects. I've used many of the built in options plus created a few custom ones.
