Kiddo #1 gave us another granddaughter!
Welcome to the family Clara Violet!
Clara Violet, just like her sister Evelyn Mary, is named after two of her great-great-grandmothers, one from her maternal line, one from her paternal line. Just when you think your children aren’t interested in genealogy, they do wonderful things like this! Kiddo #1 even remembers her Nana Violet.

My husband got tired of listening to me complain about switching tabs while trying to clean up my main tree. The problem solver that he is – a second monitor for my computer would make my life easier (and his quieter!). After purchasing the second monitor, he couldn’t contain himself (since I have 48 pages of weird duplicate entry errors) and gave it to me yesterday!
My genealogy endeavor just got easier!! Thank you husband!!
Well John is 1.5% Neanderthal!! He is more Neanderthal than the “average” person they sampled. I sure hope my results show less than that!
We took a DNA test through Ancestry.com a few years ago. This year we ordered the National Geographic DNA test. They look at different things – Nat Geo isn’t looking to connect us with relatives. It is a more global look at gene migration through the years. Where did most of your tidbits come from is their focus.
The left picture is from Ancestry.com. He is 99% European. The right picture is from National Geographic. It states he is 100% European. The highlighted areas look similar. The percentages are hard to compare since their focus is different. If people have been migrating around the European continent for the last 100,000 years, it makes sense you might see variations here.
John’s “Deep” ancestry shows that his haplogroups are pretty uncommon in the samples that National Geographic has collected. Curious to learn more about these results.
