 I realize I have been delinquently about posting to my blog, but this book has given me cause to shine a light on a very, very important person in the field of genetic genealogy and Investigative Genetic Genealogy. I highly recommend this book. I Know Who You Are by Barbara Rae-Venter In 1990, CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) was a pilot project of the FBI established to create a National DNA Index for law enforcement. CODIS became fully operational in 1998, but is limited since its data is composed of information from previously convicted felons, felony arrestees, missing persons ..read more

2020: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
DNA - Genealem's Genetic Genealogy
by
3y ago
As 2020 turned our world upside down, I shall also flip the title of this.   The Bad and the Ugly 1.      Covid-19 and the death and division it has created is a no brainer. 2.      The politics that have divided us is definitely bad and at times very ugly and non-democratic. 3.      The destructive riots have literally torn our cities. Peaceful demonstrations are just fine, but, sadly, when our governments do not listen, demonstrations move to more drastic situations. They turn ugly.   So, The Good! …as the ..read more

AncestryDNA's Coming Changes and What You Can Do - Especially if you have MedBetter

by
3y ago
Greetings! This email is only for those who have tests at AncestyDNA. Also, if you have Chrome and MedBetter, you REALLY need to read this!!! Many of you already know about AncestryDNA’s coming update where they will remove all your matches from 6-8cMs unless they are in a group, have a note or you have emailed the match. To clarify, not all the 8cMs will be removed. Because Ancestry is removing 6-7cMs for sure and because they round up the cMs, some of your 8cMs will be gone, if they are really 7.99 and below. You won’t know which ones. I have spent many, many hours for over a week tryin ..read more

Ancestry removes more matches...it's not the first...

Ancestry removes more matches...it's not the first time. By now, most of you know that starting around August 1 (no definate time has been given), Ancestry will change their algorithm and removed all matches at 6 and 7cM unless you have a note on them or have them in a catagory or have emailed them. I've been working hours on just getting my 7cMs in a group.  I have run into issues with the site stopping before it allows me to download all the matches in their running page.  If we had page numbers as I mentioned to them when they decided to drop those, this would be easier and go f ..read more
