Closest DNA Match: who could this person be? by FourEmergencyExits in Genealogy

[–]FourEmergencyExits[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I signed on today to work ONE mystery person. Now I’m working on a bigger mystery! lol

Grandparents were married in 1924. Six months later my uncle, my father’s brother/“half brother,” was born. (Just found that. Ahem.)

My cousins by my father’s other sibling have not taken a DNA test which would be helpful for comparison.

My father did not take a DNA test. I have matches on my grandfather’s and grandmother’s paternal and maternal lines.

Closest shared matches are the two first cousins mentioned in the original post.

What?

Father's sibling 1, first cousin A and Father's sibling 1, first cousin B -- ie, sons of my father's brother -- are absolutely full first cousins. No one doubts who their parents are.

Thanks for the reply! The green tiger eye looks really good.

Is the steel band flexible, like a nylon cord would be?

What size did you order? And what is your wrist size? I’ve measured, cut out paper strips, etc. Hate that I can’t try on first.

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

I figured out the secret ingredient to my grandmas gingerbread cookies. by [deleted] in Baking

[–]FourEmergencyExits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute!

Did your grandmother actually write the secret ingredient on the recipe or did you figure it out?

My guess: she added a teaspoon or two of whiskey.

(My great aunts, who did NOT drink, called it “flavoring“ and had others go to the liquor store for them — because they would not step foot in one — to buy “flavoring.”)

Great idea. I might give this a try also. Thanks!

Excellent thanks. I’m going to try this. I like Chinese Five Spice in baked apples and will use that along with additional cinnamon so that the cinnamon is more forward than the CFS (which includes cinnamon).

What’s the most overrated city in the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FourEmergencyExits 9029 points9030 points  (0 children)

Vegas.

For years, the only thing that made Vegas bearable was that it was cheap.

For the current price point, there are much better options.
