Doing some genealogy in germany my dad got me some swag with our name on it from the vw dealer in the town our family originated in.

my moms whole side goes back to the pilgrims and the revolutionary war
there is also some shared lineage with george washington
an ancestor on my fathers side died in the civil war

After reading this post I got on FamilySearch.org and in half an hour found the names, bithdates and places of some of my great-great-great grandparents - pretty cool! Seems they all stayed close to home - Brunswick County, VA, and that there may have been a little inbreeding going on there! Oh well, it WAS the early 19th century after all

Pay money to simultaneously fund dna research, undermine 150 years of evolutionary thought and possibly get convicted in this middle of that debacle sounds like fuunn!
Three stooges are running the asylum fo sho.

This is a complicated field of new thought with a bunch of curmudgeons trying to maintain the status quo.

Ireland funded research into its own citizens since so many come up as Native American.
With many countries outlawing (France ) dna testing or the results ( Some American Indian Tribes) for public dissemination outright.


DNA tests for genealogy are done on a mass scale read imperfectly by digital programs. Outliers be dammned. Crime And court DNA is read a processed by hand.

My Dad is 88 and has been on this for a awhile, he knew his parents both came from Russia in the teens. I knew my Grandmother but all I knew about my Grandfather was that he died of TB in the 30's.
My Dad went to Wasington state to where is parents had a chicken farm and found his Fathers dead certificate which stated that his Father actually Commited Suicide in a Hospital he was in. Type of death(strangulation) cause of death (hanging).
Life is not always pretty. My dad is Pissed that his Mother never told him the truth.

It all depends on what you are seeking. I did the 23andme and ancestry.com and the reports were very different. I did however connect with my grandmothers sisters great granddaughter. Yep she contacted me and we exchanged family pics and the tree was pretty much done. I can go back to mid 1700s Northern Europe. Other side still working on the data bases are incredible and much easier now than in past. Genetic abnormalities can be discovered as well but do you want to know?

If you are looking for pure-bloods, good luck w/ that.

Maybe deep in WEst VA or GA.

Im only kidding.

According to Guy Murchie, no human being can be less closely related to any other than about 50th cousin. Most of us are much closer, no matter what color our neighbors. Simple arithmetic shows that, if we double the number of our ancestors for each generation, (2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, etc.) our personal pedigree would cover mankind before 30 generations. The 30th power of 2 (1,073,741,824) is much larger than Earth's population 30 generations ago (13th century, assuming 25 yrs./generation.) He further states that in a very few generations, the same ancestors begin to appear on both your father's and mother's side of your family tree, spouses being distant cousins.

[Morganwerk]

There were always family stories that we had a relative that fought in the Revolution, my brother finally tracked down who exactly it was and was just accepted into the Sons of the American Revolution.

The story that someone married a Native American has been debunked.
