alt: tome flies Seventies, next time yo look around they'll be gone, married and you'll be a grandma.
daviss: {creeking} lol
alt: tome=time
Seventies: naw that won't happen until I turn 55... lol
alt: don't bet on that Seventies
Seventies: And I got a LONG way to go before THAT happens.. lol
vkn: ahem seventies
alt: unless you'll be 55 in a few years LOL LOL
Seventies: yes ma'am.. I will pass on the birthday wishes from you too vkn.. :} ha ha alt...
daviss: don't be rushing her alt lol that means we would be "zoomed' up in age too
Seventies: lol
vkn: oh well we will welcome seventies to AARP lol
daviss: lol lol lol
Seventies: long time before that happens too... lol
alt: I've got a DNA headache trying to explain to someone much younger than I, that she & I are related, but I'm not related to her mama. Our connection is thru a male ancestor of her maternal grandmother.... whew!!!
Seventies: lol still????
daviss: heeheeheee alt
alt: yeah, still, whew & heeheehee LOL
daviss: dna is hard to explain anyway alt
Seventies: Yep. It just reminded me to actually go in and check 23 and me. And I got a response from my match
alt: right DNA and genealogy too daviss
daviss: yes thats for sure alt
vkn: Yes I get it conceptually but bring in the co effeciency of correlation and oops it all goes out the window and down the drain hehehhehehehe
alt: in both cases WE often jump to erroneous conclusions. yep vkn, dat 'spalins it.
vkn: lol lol
alt: 'splains
daviss: hello HB
HistoryBuff: Hey Alt, Daviss. Seventies and Vkn.
Seventies: OMG so right I'm looking over and I got an accept from check this out, Bernard Wade... Wade is the surname of my grandfather's great grandmother!!!
alt: hello HistoryBuff
vkn: Howdy Mz HistoryBuff
HistoryBuff:
Seventies: Hi HistoryBuff!
HistoryBuff: Way to go, Seventies.
daviss: that sounds good Seventies....whats the % on that
alt: can you make a genealogical connection with Bernard Wade Seventies?
Seventies: 3rd to 5th cousin to my granddad I'm just glancing over the new stuff right now.
daviss: HistoryBuff did you test at 23&Me?
vkn: so 23 and me has a special on?
HistoryBuff: I did test on 23&me but I'm very slow on the analysis.
vkn: HistoryBuff my name is SLOW
Seventies: LOL
HistoryBuff: If the special is still on,I'm trying to convince my dad to participate.
Seventies: alt I'm hoping to.. I will need to get more info. So far I don't have any info on siblings of my Wade female.
daviss: yes vkn you can get one for 99 dollars and I hear that if you order 2 it will come out to 79 dollars
vkn: okies but me be only one lol
alt: that's another one that 'confuses' me... they state a generation as being 25-30 years difference. following that logic a 3rd get-grandfather of mine would have been born 175 years ago... that's like 1838, yet I have one who was born in 1785... .... that's an additional 53 tears or 2 more generations. tears=years
daviss: yes but you may have someone else that may want to test. However 99 dollars is a wonderful price
vkn: clear as mud
Seventies: I need to go actually make lunch... I'll see you good folks tomorrow. very excited. :}
daviss: make lunch ha!! she knows she just wants to take a 23 and me look lol
vkn: I can understand the excitement but not the findings
alt: yep, can't fool us, can she daviss LOL
daviss: see vkn thats where the research comes in
vkn: History what did you find re Milton Bell ?
daviss: I don't think those that have actually gotten to the point of finding the connection did it because they were dna fluent It was very good research !
alt: I agree with that daviss... DNA fluent is "something else" and I sure ain't that!!!!
vkn: daviss ok
daviss: right alt but we are learning bits and pieces as we go
HistoryBuff: Not yet, Vkn. Is there any more information you can share about any of his collateral relatives?
alt: I know just enough about DNA & Inheritance from y days as a Biology major to be "dangerous" LOL LOL
vkn: daviss ok BUT if you don't know where you are going how will one know when one arrives lol lol lol
daviss: I know you are not asking me, the one who knows nada lol
vkn: lol nada from nada leaves nada to the 10th power lol
daviss: lol
alt: for example.... just because I have a match that lives in and is from China doesn't mean I have Chinese ancestry.
HistoryBuff: You can't claim to know nada, Daviss when you do know how to go about finding out something.
vkn: alt it means you be cosmopolitan
alt: I guess vkn lol
HistoryBuff:
@Vkn
daviss: I am actually meaning I know nothing about my peeps to make a difference in the matches. I can only tell them current info that makes a big difference and is quite frustrating
alt: I saw where one lady was looking for her Czechoslovakian (sp) ancestry because she has a match from Czechoslovakia.
daviss: You want to contribute but you actually cant. And of course most of mine don't match "surname" wise
HistoryBuff: Point taken. You may not have the knowledge now,but you're still in a position to learn and that's a good thing.
vkn: Knowing a lil bit 'bout a lot o things but not knowing beans 'bout dna
alt: quit describing me vkn LOL LOL
vkn: lol lol lol
daviss: I know enough to know I spelled course wrong in my previous comment lol
HistoryBuff: I understand about not being DNA knowledgeable. That definitely includes me.
vkn: but of course.....
alt: you did!!!! LOL
daviss: lol alt
HistoryBuff: Ooops. Don't be so hard on yourself, Daviss.
daviss: I am not hard HB just accepting facts
HistoryBuff: Understood. I respect that, Daviss.
alt: what really surprise me is how folks can make statements with "absolute certainty" about DNA matches they receive from their DNA test results.
vkn: Y'all be good. Gonna do more Slater searching to find documents on James F and the Legatee
alt: and yet know nothing, or so very little about their genealogical past.
daviss: that surprises me also alt and oft times I wonder how they come to that conclusion ok vkn, happy for you
vkn: they be jumping daviss
alt: happy hunting vkn too late
daviss: what is your haplogroup HistoryBuff?
HistoryBuff: Lets see let me get it.
daviss: ok hello there Selma
Selma: Afternoon folks...
HistoryBuff: Afternoon Selma. Daviss, it's Lc2
alt: Hi Selma, how are you & the 'lil darlings?
HistoryBuff: Sorry L2c subgroup of L2.
Selma: Mom, sister and nephew are visiting too...
daviss: ok my paternal cousins are L2c
alt: okay, How's the family? LOL .. give them my best regards from Ohio LOL
HistoryBuff: That's on my maternal side. No information available on my father's side.
daviss: right, not til you get a male to test
HistoryBuff: Good for you, Selma.
daviss: I hope the lil grand is over the throat issues Selma
Selma: Have to run folks...company calling
daviss: ok later Selma
alt: bye Selma Oops, too late again LOL
daviss: too late again alt lol HB how are you listed on 23. I will go in on my cousins pages and see if you are a match with any of them
HistoryBuff: I'm listed by my given name, Ingrid Armstrong-Doweary.
daviss: ok
HistoryBuff: I'm sorry I forgot to look up your cousin, Daviss.
alt: thank you HistoryBuff,,, so many folks have those "odd' identities.
daviss: oh I forgot also History lol
alt: How in the heck do I know who "cutesy-wootsy" is LOL LOL
daviss: I know alt lol lol I think I only gained one more match on Tues.. Its a 34% and 2 segs
HistoryBuff: "cutesy-wootsy", Alt?
daviss: on Tues I just go in put "recent match" and that way I keep up with who is new
HistoryBuff: I still need to get my Jordan cousin in Alex., VA's family group sheet so I can respond to my Anestry DNA match.
daviss: I also tested with them. I just don't care for that setup yet
HistoryBuff: Why so, Daviss?
daviss: I do like the tools on 23. Ancestry does not have those yet
HistoryBuff: Oh okay.
daviss: thats another reason I like going to Gedmatch. They have some wonderful tools to look at
HistoryBuff: That sounds worth looking into, Daviss. Thank you.
daviss: Ancestry only has the chromosome tool and that is not so thrilling
HistoryBuff: lol
daviss: all my matches on Ancestry are in the 5-8 range so far
HistoryBuff: What's going on in your world, Alt? I have about 3 in the 3-5 range.
daviss: oh wow History, thats good news
HistoryBuff: That's why I need that Jordan family group information because my father recognized one match's grandfather.
daviss: tell your daddy to test!!!
HistoryBuff: ' I'm trying to get him to.
daviss: what about your hubby, did you get him involved also
HistoryBuff: Yes he did. He tested with 23andme also. I gotta follow up with his results.
daviss: wonderful HistoryBuff I better run get something to eat. History if you need help with getting on Gedmatch send me a msg on FB.. I will be glad to help
HistoryBuff: Solid Daviss. Cya both.
daviss: use the message at the top that way its between us only
HistoryBuff: Cool.

HistoryBuff: later
daviss: bye alt and HB
HistoryBuff: Later Alt.
