Wonderful Team Member Readership Award!



I received a wonderful surprise today when I was looking at some of my favorite blogs and found out that I was nominated for The Wonderful Team Member Readership Award. I am sending a huge thank you out to all my readers and to Shelley at My Genealogical Journey: Danish West Indies Family History for nominating me for this award. 

 To me, as a blogger...the sharing is where it is at. There are so many great stories out there waiting to be heard and I am so thankful that I am now part of this electronic ocean we call the internet. My stories are taken out by the tide and are read by so many people around the world. When the tide comes in, I am blessed to have had the opportunity to learn of all the stories that you my fellow bloggers have shared. Thank you for taking the time to listen and to share your wonderful comments of encouragement.

 So now, it is my turn to nominate. I could go on for days and nominate a ton of folks but for the purpose of this award today I am limiting it to 5.

 Yvette at The Root Digger:  

 Kristin at Finding Eliza: 

 Debra at In Black and White: Cross Cultural Genealogy

 LindaRe at Between the Gate Posts

 Debi at Who Knew?

It's Been A Long Time

I wanted to say hello to everyone. I know it's been a long time since my last post. The world is in a much different space from when I last wrote on March 2nd. So am I. I hope and pray that all of you out there are safe and taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. Sorry that genealogy has kind of fallen by the wayside.  Please stay vigilant and wear your mask when you go out. Keep the hand sanitizer handy. Wash your hands. This is how we take care of each other these days.  Be well, be kind, and be patient. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  We'll get there if we take care of each other.

My 23andMe Results!

I took full advantage and ordered a test for my husband as well as one for myself. Well, my results came back late last week and I found them reaffirming and interesting all at the same time.  Image courtesy of 23andme Maternal Haplogroup Result: L3e3b In a prior post, My MtDNA Result Are Back! , I revealed the results of my first MtDNA test. I tested with FamilyTreeDNA last year and they determined that my Haplogroup was L3e3b. It was reassuring to see that 23andMe came up with the same result this time around. I think I can now safely claim L3e3b as my Haplogroup. Ancestry Composition: Okay, now we're going to get into the meat of the situation ---my ancestral breakdown. I have taken three other Autosomal DNA tests, first with African Ancestry, next w...

Okay....Here We Go! LOL.

Okay, I finally did it. I have been on an incredibly journey over almost two years searching for my ancestors and I kept telling myself, I needed to document this. You need to write this information down and document the process, not only what I learned about the people who came before me, but how I felt as I made these discoveries. How this whole process has affected my life has been absolutely incredible. Until I started searching, I was under the impression that I would never know anything about my lineage beyond my grandparents. Being of African-American descent you think...oh hey, it's just not possible due to slavery to find anything out. And then August of 2009, I started asking questions of my parents. I started looking on-line through records and then I was hooked. I could find things out. For the first time I realized, there is information available, I could find out more. Names, faces on old black and white photos that suddenly were presented to me from long ago packed a...
