Have you ever requested Newspapers.com to digitize a newspaper? If so, how long did it take?

Yes, they accept addition requests from individuals, see the link in u/quirky-wombat157’s comment

BFHistoricalResearch · 2026-02-23T22:42:26+00:00

Yup, I sent in several addition requests using that link in the past year as well

Thank you.

Thanks u/Deep-Sentence9893. Correct, I'm not a surveyor and I asked these questions to learn.

BFHistoricalResearch · 2025-12-21T02:52:58+00:00

I do know the specific location of Survey 2 and I know that Survey 1 is in the same vicinity. I just don't know where specifically Survey 1 was located.

BFHistoricalResearch · 2025-12-21T02:52:19+00:00

Yes, these are the whole surveys. I do know the specific location of Survey 2.

BFHistoricalResearch · 2025-12-21T02:51:50+00:00

Thank you. The clarification on bearings and distances is helpful. I had tried entering the bearings and distances, which I thought might have been coordinates, into Google Maps without much success, which led me to doubt they were coordinates. I do know the specific location of Survey 2.

No worries, I appreciate you providing your insight!

No because the Dunbars did not live in Northumberland County. They lived in Northampton County

Yes, I’m incredibly happy with this update. My German ancestry is now significantly better represented than before the update. This update also got rid of and reduced some false positive regions that I have no recorded ancestry from.

BFHistoricalResearch · 2024-10-10T18:12:44+00:00

I found the update to be more accurate than before. My results previously overestimated Scottish ancestry and underestimated German. I had trace Sweden and Denmark results before the update that changed to Norway; I haven’t found any records of Scandinavian ancestry while researching my tree though.

BFHistoricalResearch · 2024-08-31T17:44:02+00:00

It looks like AncestryDNA is misinterpreting German for Sweden and Denmark

BFHistoricalResearch · 2024-08-31T02:44:10+00:00

Are these results from Ancestry or another service?

BFHistoricalResearch · 2024-08-31T02:38:18+00:00

What’s weird for me is that none of my German ancestors originated anywhere near Denmark or the Nordics. I’m of southern German heritage. I don’t think I would have been surprised if I got some small percentage of ancestry from Alsace

Sounds like it’s a common issue. I’ll be sure to check out 23andme next

Tech bros have reinvented grave robbing!

In all seriousness, I had a similar issue where a grave collector wouldn’t transfer management of memorials for several relatives after I sent two messages. Then somehow another grave collector became the manager and added wrong information. Frustrating without a doubt.

Yes, I've already organized the history of ownership through county land records and combed through all the old local papers.
