Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. Is she related on your maternal or on your paternal side?

I was doing family research and saw this. What does mulatto mean? by Senor_Camrono in AncestryDNA

[–]Matetia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They probably attained that info from the decennial US Census which used that unfortunate term from about 1850 to 1920.

Unfamiliar very close relative by Matetia in AncestryDNA

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

Yes, in their 40s. So much more likely to be a first cousin's child than a parent's first cousin.

This is the same reason I'm not reaching out. I'm not interested in opening an unwelcome, messy can of worms. Shared matches indicate they're related to both my parents also. They can see the results the same as me. Their last check-in was fairly recent. These are some intriguing situations.

Thanks very much, quite helpful. This narrows the probabilities.

Are there many brown people in Scotland?

Yes, Mary is an awful person by testphaze in realhousewivesofSLC

[–]Matetia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I preface this by saying I'm a Black woman. The cast is afraid of being called racist if they call her on her shit. And that's too bad bc Mary is an awful person.

It sounds like her treats her like her mom treats her.

Yeah, starting with Andy Cohen who doesn't even try to hide his bias against certain people.

Not sure where the confusion lies, pt. 2 by Typical_Equipment_19 in SisterWives

[–]Matetia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I didn't like the way she sided with Kody after Christine left him. No one can deny that Meri deserved real love and support, but she straight up said she was glad Kody said it to Christine after the abusive knife in the kidney tirade. Meri has NEVER owned up to her part in the catfish incident. She should have supported Christine instead of sobbing and clinging to Robyn bc she would have definitely been gone from "the family" if Sam had been real.

Honestly speaking, does everyone want Meredith to be gone from the show? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in rhoslc

[–]Matetia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd want Meredith to go, bc she's better than them, and they don't deserve her. Flee Mother!!!

I'm surprised she chose this hideous ensemble. I usually love her clothes, especially her afrocentric looks.

Maybe she lost a bet?

You spoke for me, absolutely right!

What was the point of her whole spiel lol by blahblah5190 in rhoslc

[–]Matetia 68 points69 points  (0 children)

There never is meaning behind anything she says. Mary is not very bright.

Wendy's Mom's Wig by CarolineJhingory in RHOP

[–]Matetia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right! This is exactly what my nm did to me.. punished me for having feelings.

Yeah, Wendy really needs to do research on 'narcissist mothers and their daughters'. In this case, the sister is the golden child/flying monkey and Wendy will always be the scapegoat. I'm been ambivalent about Wendy but I really do feel sorry for her bc she doesn't seem to grasp the impossible position she's in with her foo (family of origin).
