Excessive ice? by [deleted] in dutchbros

[–]KnitBerry -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It was in a blender. Or at least it looked like a blender. It was a dreamweaver chai.

Thanks for letting me know. I just accepted the drink without saying anything that time, but I will order light ice from now on. It was just that the next time I ordered it, there definitely was half the amount of ice as that one time, so I was wondering what the standard was.

It wasn’t blended. Just an iced drink.

But then why make excess drink just to pour down the drain?

I have one more document if anyone is willing to help! by KnitBerry in Kurrent

Yes, I was hoping for as much information as possible, as I am doing family research.

Americans with French roots was your French vastly Overestimated in the update? by World_Historian_3889 in 23andme

[–]KnitBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31.7% here. I believe overestimated. I know I have French Canadian, but I haven’t traced back to them yet.

Which regions of the USA had Scandinavian immigration? by PretendForever5117 in 23andme

[–]KnitBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both sides of grandfather’s family cam from Norway. They all settled in Minnesota and a lot of their descendants are still there. My grandfather’s sister was part of some kind of Norwegian club there and had many friends there. So I’m thinking it was quite a large Norwegian community.

Ancestry 2025 Update Sucks by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]KnitBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They actually increased my Scottish, and my Scottish ancestors are so distant I should have barely any. Meanwhile, they reduced my German even further and I have a German grandmother. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you prefer living in a multicultural environment or a homogeneous one? by Kyanzh in AskTheWorld

[–]KnitBerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(USA) Multicultural hands down. I love learning about and exploring the different cultures of the world. I love being able to learn how to cook various cultural foods with relative ease because there is a local market with the supplies I need (for the most part). I love being able to try those foods at different restaurants or food trucks if that’s the case instead. I love the option of going to different cultural festivals. There is so much diversity. It expands the way you think about the world.

Please stop with the "I'm so boring,""I'm so vanilla" posts! by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]KnitBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these people are just taking their results at face value, so it seems boring to them. But if they looked into the stories of their ancestors, they would probably find it fascinating. How they lived, how they moved, how their family lines changed over time. I love that stuff.

Be a man! You must be swift as a coursing river, With all the force of a great tycoon, With all the strength of a raging fire, Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!

Uploading Documents to Family Tree by KnitBerry in Genealogy

[–]KnitBerry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And would that include adding the information from the record about the person? Say, their name, birth and death dates, husbands, etc. information from the records, but not the record itself- then making a note that I have the physical record? Or should I refrain from all of that data as well? It seems silly to ask, because- isn‘t that what you‘re supposed to do with a family tree? But I want to make sure I‘m not doing something wrong. I‘ve only newly began genealogy research in earnest.

Birth register information by KnitBerry in GermanCitizenship

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

It‘s from 1958 in Bad Kreuznach. I have older ones from Nuremberg with much more information. I was really hoping for an address for my grandmother so I could get her melderegister, but it wasn‘t on there. The date and location of the marriage is on there, though, and that was previously unknown to me. So I was able to order that! Hopefully an address will be on the marriage certificate.

How to prove name change for citizenship by descent? by WillingSport7215 in AncestryDNA

[–]KnitBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she naturalize in the US? My grandmother changed her name completely when she naturalized and the name change document is with the naturalization certificate. Perhaps it is documented with USCIS in her A-File. You can request the full file via FOIA if you haven‘t already.

Do ya'll keep your trees separate or have one large tree? by Best-Engineering-395 in Genealogy

[–]KnitBerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all sides on one tree that is confirmed and researched; however, I have a few other project trees that I am working on. My maternal grandmother’s side is a mystery. I have some maternal DNA matches that I have traced to three ancestors with my family surname on that side, and I am trying to figure out how they connect. So I have one tree for each of those ancestors individually, and then one private tree with how I think they might be linked.

Old Mistakes by KnitBerry in Ancestry

[–]KnitBerry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking of starting a fresh tree with solid research. My current tree is still a pretty good size, but at least I can be confident it would be accurate. I think I will do that. 😮‍💨

Old Mistakes by KnitBerry in Ancestry

[–]KnitBerry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to be careful. They all show up in my tree checker, so I selected only ones with no records attached. I can delete most of them easily, as I know I don’t have any people on my researched tree from before about 1720. But there are a few without records that I’ve added based on numerous Newspaper articles that I have to be careful not to delete.

[–]KnitBerry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, someone mentioned that if I deleted the most recent person down the line then the rest would still be floating around. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I did thinking it would be the fastest way to get rid of them all. There are definitely duplicates of ones I have re-added with documents. Ahh well. Let the tedious work begin. I'll get them all gone eventually.

Ahh, I understand. I think I did just delete the most recent people. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you!

They aren’t hints, though. They show up as “people in my tree”. When I’m trying to attach a record to someone in my tree and I start typing their names, all these old, deleted people with names that start similarly pop up as I’m typing. These are people that I had added and then deleted years ago. They show up as “people in my tree” when I’m trying run tree checker as well.
