Two Special Ladies, Thank You for a wonderful presentation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you! 🥰
Omg! I can’t believe I missed this! Desperate to confirm grandfather sad😢
Just to clarify. The reason that Pedigree collapse and cousins marrying cousins results in MORE groups is that you have distant cousins that share more DNA with you than is the norm and therefore 4th and 5th cousins are turning up in the 90 to 400 cM bucket, resulting in more groups because they don’t share DNA with all the more closely related common cousins.
The easiest method to work around this is to look at the shared matches. If most of those already have the same color, then just add this cousin to that color.
Thank you
Does the method work as far back as 3rd great grandparents?
It has for me !
On the AI experiment at Family Search, so far, I have found 6 documents unknown before for my 3rd g grandfather, a 20-year brick wall. Amazing tool.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. It really is an incredible tool. 💕
@DanaLeeds Yes, and last evening I searched some more and found about double the documents that I had already found. This is unbelievable. A few years ago, I practically "lived in" the Georgia State Archives, where I am sure many of these existed, but I never found them. I never knew that my ancestors were so prolific in all kinds of dealings. I thought that they had lived nominal sort of lives, but these documents totally changed my perspective. I just wish that this wall of mine would come tumbling down, but this definitely helps.
@@larrymcclain8874, WOW!!! Thanks for sharing! This reminds me of my great-aunt, who sparked my interest in genealogy. While she did travel some, she primarily had to rely on traditional letters to obtain records. When I started in the late '90s, we had to order FHL microfilms and then visit a center to view them. And now we have tools like this Full Text Search - it's incredible! (Of course, there are still many records we can't access online, but these digital resources are an enormous help!)
@@larrymcclain8874, That's really exciting! Keep at it, and I bet you'll break down that brick wall. 😊
Y’all are amazing!
Thanks! 💕
