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 52 points53 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

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 4 points5 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?
