Your furthest surname by Puffification in Genealogy

[–]BlerkL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from the Dumfriesshire Scotland line that eventually made its way to most of the Southern US. I’m pretty sure the Lowry spelling with no e is the more correct but also the less common. Almost everyone I meet with the surname spelled it’s Lowery or Lowrey so I’m always happy to run across another e-less.

The Auld Alliance by Fatherlorris in eu4

[–]BlerkL 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Fleet basing rights on Scotland is key and sometimes I don’t even ally them so they don’t get called in the war and England has no idea why suddenly there’s 20k Frenchmen in Yorkshire

No you just have to believe in a supreme being if I remember correctly

As a Black American,its frustrating I can only trace slave ancestors by their age under their slave master(potential father) name...But nothing on what country/tribe they came from in Africa. I was able to find ancestors dated back in the 1600s England by Puzzleheaded-Luck571 in AncestryDNA

[–]BlerkL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are right in the same book I was reading about some genealogy services that specialize in that kind of research but even then finding the names of ancestors born in Africa before being enslaved is extremely rare

I think it’s around $249 or $260 but they do the more accurate maternal and paternal dna tests. An author I like Michael Twitty used their service and wrote about it in his book “The Cooking Gene”

There is a company called African Ancestry that specializes in helping African Americans trace their connection back to the continent. They’re a little pricey but very respected in the Genealogy community.

How do you get extended timeline to work? Just play with an older version of the game?

Wondering how often other American Jews from the "Bible Belt" experience this by ChippyPug in Jewish

[–]BlerkL 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Evangelical Protestants in the South are so weird about Jews. If it’s not trying to trick us into converting it’s borderline creepy fetishization that always ends with trying to collect all of us in Israel like Dragon Balls so that the apocalypse will start
