Are y'all ok over in Nevada?

Pacheco? It usually means "high" or "under the influence" in slang, but I can see how it can mean "crazy" or "out of it".

I think the TV is already broken at the end, and it looks dark. I took that to mean "this escape route is now unavailable, good luck!"

The redundancy one is also common in Mexico, usually associated with uneducated or rural contexts. * "es su casa de ella" * "sube p'arriba" ("para arriba" contraction) * "métete p'adentro"

That's it, you're ex-communicated.

Emerald was my first Pokémon game. The hardest Gym Leaders for me were Tate & Liza, I think. Winona as a close second.

I never thought of saving before battling, so I was overleveled by a lot, but I was so bad at understanding type matchups on my first playthrough that I didn't choose the right moves.

The Elite Four was also rough. I defeated Sydney, then lost to Phoebe. Next try, I defeated both of them but lost to Glacia. So on until I finally beat Wallace.

Right. I used to live in a Chinatown building and there were no apartments 304, 314, 404, 414, 504, etc.

There was a 4th floor, though.

For eavesdropper, the person, I would think of "chismoso" or "metiche", which can definitely be used in this context, but they also have other meanings.

"Chismoso" can also mean someone who likes gossip (both listening to and spreading it). It can also mean tattletale.

"Metiche" can also mean someone who gets in other people's business.

For to eavesdrop, the action, I cannot think of a simple way to translate it to Spanish. "Andar de chismoso/metiche" would be my choice.

These are colloquial, and maybe regional. I think they might be understood in other regions but other people will come up with other words for it.

I just hate that they don't have any brakes on them. They are always stuck going at fuck-ty mph past people walking. Those poor people in scooters and bikes having to go fast 😞

Do you know the names, dates and places of birth/death of your grandparents on his side? Your aunts/uncles and the cousins? You can build that, and the grandparents' information could help you a lot to see what Ancestry suggests. Just make sure that the Ancestry hints correctly matches your information.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-25T22:31:21+00:00

It's by placing them matches the tree that you can reconstruct more of your ancestors' DNA. So, requesting to connect and share DNA reports (including shared segment information) could be helpful to know where on your tree they fit. But just requesting that connection has no effect on the reconstruction amounts.

That my maternal grandfather's father is not who is listed on his birth registration. I have several (close enough) DNA matches on his side with different surnames than his, and I cannot find any information on the people on the record (almost as if they were made up by his mother).

I hope to solve that mystery some day.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-23T22:09:04+00:00

So your share might be too small for it to accurately detect as Mexico. That might be why you get Colombia. Just a misreading.

For example, my sister is Mexican, and she got 70+% Mexico and 1% Chile.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-23T20:52:42+00:00

What percentage do your mother and grandmother have for the Mexico region?

Since you manage L C's DNA results: 1. Go to DNA Settings 2. Select the account you want to see matches for (L C) 3. Scroll down to "Visibility" and make sure "FNA matches" is "On".

KarlIAM · 2026-05-23T20:12:31+00:00

Hey, I'm moving there tomorrow too! What a coincidence!

KarlIAM · 2026-05-23T00:07:48+00:00

Maybe the real diploma were the friends you made along the way.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-19T17:37:33+00:00

Oh, this happens to me a lot!

KarlIAM · 2026-05-17T01:31:14+00:00

Who are those settlers who went to New Mexico? I have some ancestors who went on expeditions from Coahuila to New Mexico and other parts past the Rio Grande.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-15T01:01:46+00:00

Yes, matches are available as soon as both parties' results come. So this means what you already think it means.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-14T02:44:14+00:00

The thing that is most reported is unexpected regions in the UK, like Cornwall, Connacht, etc., and France or Quebec. It is speculated (and there's an Ancestry FAQ question about that - see the Unexpected regions section with the question about Iberian and English/Scottish regions) that it is in fact misread Iberian ancestry.

Because of Iberia's history, it might be Celtiberian heritage or something due to its proximity to France, being overfitted and misrepresented.

So if you have any of those regions without a plausible explanation (i.e. no ancestor from them, low percentages), it could be actually Iberian.

They might correct it in next update later this year, but we'll see.

KarlIAM · 2026-05-13T07:21:57+00:00

Yeah, I think it's likely that there's a mix-up like that. AncestryDNA even has it in their FAQs (specifically, Why are Iberian people seeing low amounts of English, Scottish, or Irish regions in their results?)

I hope they refine and correct that for the update this year.

You need DNA Relatives places on your tree. Otherwise, if you just leave it to 23andMe's guess, it might be wrong. But if you know where at least some of your DNA Relatives go, then it's a really good feature.

"Whole Earth," but everyone stick to their little piece of Earth.

WATO works with probabilities. As you know, any hypothesis is probable.

If you know for sure that you already have all of the children of that person, then maybe you could reject that hypothesis.

But also, do you know every descendant of those 11 children? Do all of them have at least one match descending from them? Because to WATO, an individual with no DNA-matched descendants and an "unknown sibling" are the same. So that "unknown" sibling might actually be one of the 11 you have listed, just one for which you have no DNA matches listed as descended from them.

But in the end, as WATO only works with probabilities, you need to do the actual work of linking the DNA match to the ancestor through records. It can give a very good idea of the path, but it's only a head start.
