I really enjoyed #thebreakthrough. It realistically portrayed the frustration involved in explaining the methodology of genetic genealogy to others who want instant answers or who have confirmation bias.

When is a fact a fact? How do we differentiate between 'Fact and Fiction' from a genealogical perspective chiddicksfamilytree.com/2021/01/27/h... #Genealogy #BloggersTribe #Ancestors #FamilyTree #FamilyHistory

How do we differentiate between ‘Fact and Fiction’?
A father’s name on a birth certificate, is that a fact? The birth certificate itself is the ‘evidence’, anything stated on the certificate is then normally classed as a ‘fac…

The Boston Police Depart. really messed up this case by illegally using the MyHeritage data base! Obviously they wanted to skirt the law and HIPAA regs. - the case will probably be thrown out and a rapist go free. #investigativegeneticgenealogy #genealogy #dna #geneticgenealogy

DNA grabbed from drinking glass, ancestry database at center of Boston rape case
A lawyer for a New Jersey attorney accused of a string of rapes in Boston more than a decade ago is making DNA a central part of the defense.

Working to untangle the genetic tree of a 2C I am related to thru her #NPE father. DNA proves her maternal grandmother was also an NPE, fathered by her ggrandmother's foster father! Plus found 2 living adoptees in the same line I fear were sold for profit! #DNA #genalogy #geneticgenealogy

“Who can say how little we should know of many periods, but for their art? History (so called) has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; Art has remembered the people, because they created.”
Ada Phoebe Gorman’s embroidery of a William Morris commissioned pattern 

The panels are embroidered in wool on linen and features a pattern of alternating rows of clumps of stylised flowers, large blue artichoke heads and blue flower-heads against a background arabesque pattern of stems, leaves and small flowers. It is embroidered using stem, satin, long & short, French knots, split and back stich.

Dah! My error - thought this was a new Morton book! I’ve read everything you have published and should have recognized the title. It seems so long ago that I read this book - think I need to go back and reread the series!

My grandaunt, Ann Genetti McNelis (1903-2005), the youngest in a family of 9, my grandfather's youngest sister and the oldest relative in my tree. She lived to be 102! At the age of 3 she immigrated with her mother and siblings from Tyrol, Austria to #Hazleton, PA. #genealogy #familyhistory

After watching Ken Burn's documentary on #LeonardoDaVinci I wondered if Leonardo had any living relatives. Although da Vinci had no children, he did have 22 half-sibs. Here's what I found at the #Smithsonian. #genealogy #familyhistory #arthistory #geneticgenealogy #DNA #Y-DNA

Different branches of my family have lived in the house since at least the early 1500's. During the last century, it has been divided into 5 apartments, two currently owned by Genetti cousins. The family can trace its origin in the area to 1265 and is noted in the Codex Cles dated 1311.

This is Casa Genetti today, #Castelfondo, Italy. The fresco on the front of the house dates to the mid-1500's and the marble carved Coat-of-Arms (Stemma) above the door is probably from the 1700's. The home was built abt early 1500's, but could be older. #familyhome #genealogy #familyhistory

This is my great-grandfather, Damiano Genetti (1857-1944), standing in the doorway of our family homestead in #Castelfondo, #Trentino, Italy. Casa Genetti dates to about the early 1500's and is still occupied, although no one knows the exact time it was built. #familyhome #genealogy #familyhistory

Yay! Can't wait - do you have a publication date yet? Loved "The Hollywood Strangler". It gave me several ideas for a direction into my own genetic research.

Yes, I know this. I have all of our church records dating back to 1645. My grandfather came over in 1906 with an Austrian passport. We were considering Italian speaking Austrians. In 1918 the region became the Italian Province of Trentino.

Are there any #genealogy friends with Trentini/Northern Italian ancestry? My paternal family can be traced to the mid-1200's in the Val di Non region of the Italian Alps, about an hour southwest of where #Otzi the famous Iceman was found. #Tyrolean #ItalianGenealogy #Trentino #Trentini #Castelfondo

Many were dubious about BlueSky initially, but it has definitely become the platform of choice for a great many in the community centred around #genealogy. It's not perfect in terms of functionality, and the pace of rolling out new features is (probably of necessity) slow, but it's getting there!

He actually took it really well as I gave him an extensive paternal family history dating back to the 1400’s. I made very sure I had my DNA research correct before telling him the truth. We are from an endogamous community so our DNA connects thru 3 different family lines.

I found a distant cousin in my research who I am related to thru 3 family lines, he was a double murderer, went to prison in 1917. A few yrs ago I helped an adoptee who matched my #dna and found out his grandfather was this same murderer. I had to tell him the truth about his ancestor 😳 #genealogy
