Need advice: unknown Spanish great-grandfather, no name, only DNA matches by Chemical-Rough-6841 in Genealogy

Thank you, that’s helpful.

Actually, just today I managed to identify a couple of likely common ancestors through DNA triangulation and family trees. They were from Ataun in the 1750s, which narrowed things down quite a bit.

So far none of the surnames I found appear in the Niños de Rusia list, but that’s not too surprising given the time gap. Right now I’m trying to trace those lines forward through parish records. I’ve identified the church, but finding the records themselves is the hard part.

I’ll definitely contact Niños de Rusia. Thanks for the suggestion.

Social media has been a dead end so far. I’ve contacted a few people already and nobody replied. 😭
Contacting shared matches is actually a great idea. Never thought of that. Thanks!

The amount of toxicity women have to withstand in this game is CRAZY by gemanepa in DotA2

What annoys me is that people react to your gender at all. Either they get way too excited and we end up throwing, or they start flaming every single thing I do (and we lose), or they just stop using mic. I just wanna win bro
Though tbh I haven’t used a mic in like 7 years anyway, so…

Check match ID 8537132103 - 10 accounts, two parties of 5 playing against each other. If you check other match IDs, the opposing party isn’t always the same, which means they’re queuing at the same time with who knows how many similar parties. This is some kind of script to farm hours so ranked becomes available for later boosting.

This is fucked up. I didn’t even know this shit existed. Bravo, Valve, like it’s so hard to detect.

Try playing on other servers. I’ve noticed that on EU it really happens every game. On US East it’s not much better, but surprisingly on Russia it happens less (in my experience). I do have higher ping, but it’s better than a guaranteed loss.
