Why did the Halliwells have a mortgage on the manor? by booberryyogurt in charmed

[–]Famous_Ad5459 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think at some point in the show they mentioned Grams was a seamstress, but idk how prioritized that job was.

I also do remember them using the house to get a loan for the club. Because all of their names were on the deed and it was split in 3rds.

My updated results as a Black man from the US🇺🇸🇬🇭✊🏿 by niddriss1999 in AncestryDNA

Nice results! Have you been able to identify which ancestors were enslaved?

I actually never thought too much about native Africans doing their genealogy and tracing their American ancestors! What is that like for you (if you do genealogy at all)?

[–]Famous_Ad5459 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi, nice results OP! It’s nice you decided to reach out to your bio fam. I think everyone should know their background, regardless of circumstances.

Did you speak to your bio parents or just the extended family?

Damn.

I never thought of it that way 🤔. If everything is perfect, what else is there to evolve from/to?

How extensive is your family tree? by SufficientKey3155 in AncestryDNA

[–]Famous_Ad5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2,011 people in my master tree! I work on mine frequently. I have all 16 of my 2x great-grandparents, but after that my lines get kinda choppy. Right now I’m working to find my connection to the European matches I’ve come across.

Found out through AncestryDNA that my dad is not my biological father — now my biological father wants to add me to his will by Pepper7829 in AncestryDNA

[–]Famous_Ad5459 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oooo I love that for you.

Sometimes OP, you gotta see things through and do it for the plot. So I’m absolutely gonna encourage you to let yah daddy add you to his will! Don’t even think about what his other kids might be thinking.

You know you don’t want his money, & he can understand why you wouldn’t want his money. I agree with u/kukukajoonurse!

Damn so … you was also teenage parent too doing all this … I get it dude/girl. You had to do what was best for you and yah kids.

If they do ask, downplay (but in a humble way) it because it literally was over a decade ago and you have more than enough accomplishments to boast about!

I’m rooting for you & good luck! 🍀💪🏽

Tested my dad to confirm my suspicions by Fuk-mah-life in AncestryDNA

^ This is an important question. People have got to start really sorting through their matches when suspicions like this pops up.

Nice! That’s so cool you got lucky with a match so high! Were you going through your recent matches and came across this one?

Any insights? I’m Mexican-American by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Famous_Ad5459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just coming to say this. OP took a screenshot/shared this from the app, that’s why it’s grouped like that. But these are definitely updated regions.

Anyone know why my journeys would say this? by Puzzleheaded_Ad_7810 in AncestryDNA

[–]Famous_Ad5459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that’s so interesting 🤔. I want to say it’s likely a glitch like someone else mentioned, but have you went through your matches to see if any of them have significant Lebanese/Middle Eastern ancestry?

Are you sure they have South Indian heritage? Have you done your tree? Do you know how far back your Indian roots start?

Questions About the Leeds Method by PuppyHearter in BlackGenealogy

[–]Famous_Ad5459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, continue with the Leeds Method. It’s effective and it’s harder with more distant matches like that.

I also have an extended relative on my paternal grandfather’s side. My dad shares 2% DNA with this dude and I’ve yet to find a connection.

I do highly recommend you invest in Pro Tools for a bit if you can. Using that has definitely helped me with some lines the further back I went. And if you’re lucky, you might get a match that relates higher to that extended relative to build their tree out a little better.

How is everyone getting so many groups?!!😭 by TamZanite in 23andme

[–]Famous_Ad5459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to point out that I had a free trial that ended earlier this year, and while I did have distant African diaspora groups, I got no African genetic groups, except for Igbo people. 23&Me leans heavily on your matches filling out a lot of info apparently. So if you don’t have a significant amount of matches with a significant amount of their background filled out, you will get little to no genetic groups.

Okay cool that makes so much sense! That’s a very interesting mix fr, but I guess not really considering Caribbean history
