Seventies: I do know I want to buy the book by Salamishah Tillet....

Daviss: For sure alt
Seventies: Absolutely. Anyone been on Proquest over the weekend?
Daviss: The question is Seventies, have you?
alt: I 'browsed' the AAH portion for a quick minute Seventies
Seventies: Yes I have!! lol Looking for Lemons, Casons, and other families
Daviss: good!! lol
Seventies: From the Hinyard lines...
Daviss: new names, Lemon and Casons oh ok any luck?
Seventies: Nothing from what I already have.
Daviss: ok
Seventies: I did track down an entire family once.. weren't related to me tho'.
Daviss: hopefully you will find something new
Seventies: Some clues. Plus... I still need a bunch of DC's from MS. I am just not up for paying all that money...
Daviss: Family Search has much to be done.. need more volunteers
Seventies: but I'm going to have to come up off it eventually... may as well go ahead and do it.
alt: not related.... at least not known to be in the records you were reviewing, if in the same areas for any length of time don't overlook the possibilities fro collateral connections.
Daviss: good point alt Did Lisa post any pictures alt?
alt: I know I'm finding connections to families I've known for years to be connected in some way 2-3 even 4 generations back in time.
Seventies: Okay will do that alt I suspect that I'm just about related to everyone who is doing research in southern Adams Co. MS. Including Ed Adams... lol Almost everyone I have come across online is either related to me OR I know of their families.
alt: Daviss, got results back from AncestryDNA this AM.... a quick review of matches states that I'm related to Beverly Gray from AfriGeneas.... that is an example Seventies, I've known Bev for 15-20 year and always wondered if we had a Chillicothe, OH connection ... seems we do about 3 generations back.
Seventies: wow! That's great. Do you know the connection?
Daviss: thats wonderful alt!!!
Seventies: The person?
Daviss: have you talked to her yet?
alt: I think it is thru her/our Williams/Allen lines dating back to about 1840-1850 Seventies .. No, haven't talked with her yet Daviss
Seventies: okay
vkn: great news alt
Daviss: what were your percentages alt, did they line up with 23
vkn: Y'all be good
Seventies: Did y'all see the post on Heritage Traced DNA about how an half siblings and a niece tested. The results were that they were 2nd cousins or something like that?
alt: pretty close Daviss ... 47 -47 & 6 % unknown on Ancestry
Seventies: Wait no, uncle and nephew, though they had the same mother....
Daviss: thats good and mabe we can ask the lady in Nov about that 6 percent unk.It may be Native
Seventies: Makes me wonder about the people who have much closer matches.... hhhhmmmm
Daviss: I did not see that seventies
Seventies: It was on the facebook page Daviss.
Daviss: I have not been on that page either seventies..is that the title
Seventies: I can't keep up.. lol I belong to two DNA pages and a TON of other African oriented pages...
alt: Seventies, I think those comparisons were to the length of cm's on matching chromosmes which I know almost nothing about.
Daviss: I will check it out
Seventies: ah, I do know it was with 23andme.
Daviss: I have enough with only about 5 pages lol
Seventies: lol
Daviss: I am trying to learn now about the x chromosome
alt: which makes me wonder..... wouldn't there be the same matches on the same chromsomes with FTDNA, Ancestry and any other company that does 'autosomal testing'?
Daviss: does Ancestry show chromes alt
alt: not that I know of Daviss, I just got the report this AM and haven't really looked very closely at what they report, except to say that they have BETA stamped all over their results.
Daviss: Getmatch should be able to tell you alt check your 23 and me with someone that did both and compare 23 and ftdna I mean alt bearnut may be a good one she did both and so did you
Seventies: sigh... well I gotta go y'all. See you on the other side. Facebook that is.. lol
Daviss: whew!
alt: I did notice that have have a breakout of those who match your result and have African and/or European ancestry and the %'s of each.
Seventies: Later
Daviss: thanks for that explanation 7 right alt! I am glad I took it and as soon as I get more money I will do the FTDNA auto
alt: well Daviss, gonna let you catch your breath, talk to you later
Daviss: ok alt
