2016: I was visiting cousins in Varberg, Sweden when I met cutie.

My plan is to read more, walk more, finish writing my family history, and ironically, research less on that family.

I thought it said, "visiting your in-laws" and I'm "With lots of alcohol."

Too bad there aren't any dates in the US, especially Michigan. I would attend.

Thanks. The first draft I used the name on the account since I figured people can just look at it, but then used private on DNApainter for living people who did not test. I was also thinking tester 1, 2, 3, and so on.

reading it 50 years from now would be confident that I covered all bases. On the other hand, 50 years from now, a descendant would not have access to the DNA on MyHeritage like I have when conducting the research.

All options are welcomed.

I want to be able to use full names of the shared matches, but I am also aware of privacy concerns. Is it okay to use full names in the writeup? WHen I presented this project to my genealogical society, I used the first initial and last name. I want this to be thorough so that someone (cont)

#DNAGenealogy #Genealogy I have finalized my DNA research project on the boyfriend of my grandmother and have identified the father of my half uncle. I used LEEDS, MyHeritage Autocluster, and DNAPainter. I want to write up the results and share with all of the families involved.

I didn't realize you were in Britian. I must have been tired that day. lol

Joe Samson @joesamson.bsky.social · Oct 4

Thanks, and that was the answer I was expecting. But I have to always ask.

Is there a way to get a general idea of a trip from St. Albans, Vermont to Duluth, Minnesota?

This was in Meadowlands, Minnesota.

My sister Mary and I went in search of our father's boyhood home. My dad showed me back in the 90s. We found it. The biggest question as a result? Did my grandfather build the barn and outbuildings? We then stopped at the cemetery on our way home.

I'm at one too, but I will be here to 8 since I normally volunteer between 5-8.

Bringing it into CLICK worked. Thank you for jarring my mind.

I just figured how to export to a pdf and it is one sheet, but It still seems to want to print in pages. I will try the program that came with it and then try canva. Thanks. It is a learning experience for me. lol

Joe Samson @joesamson.bsky.social · Jul 3

Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning genealogy family. I am interested in creating and printing large descendancy chart for my family. I have a printer that can print 24X36 or 24x48 charts, but the genealogy programs (Family Tree Maker) don't seem to acknowledge any other printer that a 8.5x11 or 11x17. #genealogy

Starz and Netflix have Outlander. Great show to binge watch and I don't binge watch too many shows.

Oh look at me. I used to be a quarter Pict. This may make sense since the place of my grandparents have petroglyphs all over the place depicting raider from moder day Scotland.

I've always wonder why I have such a drawn to the steppe region.

@ghostscbsfans.bsky.social I think it would be cool if the Angel of Death would show up in #cbsGhosts.
