There are three main DNA tests for genetic genealogy. The yellow the the most popular autosomal DNA and this covers very well through 2nd cousin, well enough, but missing many from 3rd cousin and the farther back missing more each generation. The red is the maternal DNA with relatively zero genealogy use (yes, yes in some cases) and the magic blue line is the y-DNA. With y-DNA you can identify a male ancestor from way back, by testing male line son descendant from each of that ancestor's sons. If the ancestor did not have two sons this cannot be done and work down until you can, or go farther back in time and over and test male cousin.

give me Liberty! or give me New Shoes… and everything else…
Kusadasi, Türkiye brings tourists in many ways, for many reasons. We took a van and enjoyed great views, our cousin came on a cruise ship and then took a bus, and we all visited many of the same places - House of The Virgin Mary, Ephesus Ancient City and Ephesus Selcuk Museum, Rug Weaving and all were so wonderful to visit and experience. But Liberty Resort was so wonderful that with each outing we planned, we felt sad to leave the property that offered so many wonderful things for us to do and enjoy.

From that date on, floods became more... Decades later, Paw and family would take the train to Dayton, Tenn., and then the family took them in a wagon and all would have the picnic reunions riverside. Many more decades later he described to me the sun setting into the treetops down the river and I fell in love with the mighty rivers that flow through the mystical mountains.
