Revisiting previously searched genealogy databases and the surprising result!

June 3, 2017June 3, 2017 Paula Stuart-Warren Family, Uncategorized Leave a comment

This afternoon I set aside a couple hours for my own research. I rechecked a specific database on Ancestry.com, U.S. Passport Applications, 1795-1925. Once again, I searched all my ancestral and collateral surnames from that time period. Whose passport did I find? Nobody’s. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Nil. Zero. I know that passports were not required […]

Tough questions I wish I had asked before they were gone

November 4, 2015November 4, 2015 Paula Stuart-Warren Family, Oral history 4 Comments

My bookshelves hold several books on oral history. One of my favorites is My Backyard History Book. It was published in 1975 and is out of print but it often shows up on used book websites. It is written for children and for some reason it always spoke to me. (Please no joking about my […]

My Family Tree DNA ethnic makeup

September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 Paula Stuart-Warren DNA, Family Leave a comment

My FTDNA ethnic makeup is not all that different from that on AncestryDNA as shown in the preceding post except that FTDNA doesn’t show my Danish and Swedish roots. My oldest son’s ethnic makeup is 100% European and does show some Scandinavian. On Ancestry I have 7% Iberian Peninsula and this FTDNA maps shows that […]

My Ancestry DNA pie chart. Irish is the highest group.

September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 Paula Stuart-Warren DNA, Family 4 Comments

I have done DNA testing with Ancestry.com and FamilyTreeDNA. These show I am more Irish than anything. That’s not a surprise. I know that these estimates could change as the number of people tested grows. I have a bombed ancestral church, a church that neglected to keep records for a number of years, and some […]
