Thumbs up Hard Work

If you are really interested in your Genealogy it can be hard work. I subscribe to both Genealogy.com and My Heritage.Com. In addition I have had both of these providers do my DNA. I have also purchased some hardcover books that are dedicated to Heritage's
names, histories and family genealogies. I have completed the Genealogy for both sides of my family (Paternal and Maternal). Charted Paternal back to 1587 and Maternal 1505. Along the way I have found some great history of the families and some remarkable discoveries of their experiences and accomplishments. It is a terrific journey through time. In order to be accurate you have to have some tight disapline and when not positive of a linage then get a second source! As an aside this is a very good way to keep your mind active. Regarding the comparing of the 2 DNA's. They were both similar and within boundaries that were reasonable.I did find that although a small percentage
one pointed out that we do have some Jewish heritage which is a wonderful addition to
our history. If you decide to start this road I would recommend starting with a single
source, Genealogy.Com and increase your sources as you grow in experience.
