RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Positive DNA Results

I agree with Laura. It's always fun to check and find new connections.

And I am sure I spend far too much time trying to find how we link up.

Yes, I encourage anyone and everyone to get the DNA tests. Even siblings will benefit, since they are not getting the exact DNA from each parent.

Laura, that is just great! I’m so happy that you have been able to make connections with other researchers! Hope you have more good luck.

Hello List,

 

I would like to encourage those of you who are still deciding whether or not to have your DNA tested, or a relative's DNA tested.

I took the family finder test last year, on familytreedna.com.  Last month I received some more new cousin matches.

 

After doing more research on my family tree, I am happy to share that I have found a common ancestor with a 5th cousin remote match.

Our common ancestor was alive 250 years ago in Sao Miguel, Azores.

 

I am happy to share my family's history with my daughter, and other family members.  It means a lot to my family to know their roots.

I am also very blessed to have a new sixth cousin.  I'm very pleased with the information I received from familytreedna.com

 

Having your DNA tested is a small investment with long term results.  I am very glad that I chose to have my DNA tested.

 

I would also like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

 

 

Laura Gelvin
