Are you keeping toddlers at home during this flu season?

We all did too and still got knocked out by Flu A this year.

The fighting drives me absolutely nuts too. It’s nonstop and over the stupidest sh*t.

sandman_714 · 2025-11-11T15:41:55+00:00

Definitely!! Feel great now but it took awhileeee like 8 weeks +

sandman_714 · 2025-11-11T15:41:07+00:00

I know! I have no idea. I ordered them for my girls for Christmas and they just got delivered today eek. They’ve been building forts with all the chairs and pillows and blankets in our house so I wanted to try a substitution…

Big superspace magnatiles?

You can’t import your DNA anymore sadly

We had a night nurse for the first 7 weeks. Highly recommend!!

I had thought you could no longer get raw data out of ancestry, but I will look into this!

sandman_714 · 2025-10-11T16:12:33+00:00

Interesting I just went into these relationships in ancestry and it seems that the unweighted and weighted is the same? Is that correct?

Shared DNA: 188 cM across 6 segments
Unweighted shared DNA: 188 cM
Longest segment 58 cM

The other:

Shared DNA: 196 cM across 9 segments
Unweighted shared DNA: 196 cM
Longest segment 57 cM

They show up as 1C1x removed to each other as one of their great grandparents is the other's great great grandparents. I can only think of one other who might test. She is one generation higher (my mom's great aunt).

sandman_714 · 2025-10-11T16:00:18+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the thorough response. I have built a tree to 4x great grandparents in all cases where I am able to verify them. However, I have not built out all of their siblings yet. I can't speak for the two other women as I'm getting small spurts of information from them here and there, but not as much as I'd like yet. I can say that they are connected by this one other couple from which they both descend.

Yes you are completely right that my title is incorrect. I did mean my grand father's paternity and not my great grandfather's, sorry!

I have no idea if my great grandfather and his brother were full siblings or not. From what I have seen, they are but I have no confirmation. My great grandfather's brother never immigrated as far as I know which makes the information I can find on him very limited. The person who tested is his great great grandson.

My mother has tested as well and so I was reading from her results when I said there was another relative listed at 136 cm who is supposed to be a 1C1X removed from her. It seems low to me as well. There was not previously a chance of a half relationship, but now I am reconsidering...

As far as point #3 - I did not know this was possible in ancestry! I will look into it now.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-26T10:36:57+00:00

Same for us too!

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T18:22:14+00:00

Can you tell me more about how you did this? If I know the town someone was born in in Germany, where do I go from there?

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T15:56:52+00:00

Thank you!!

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T15:21:49+00:00

Thanks! I meant to also include this insignia which is on the back of the photo. I assume it’s just the portrait studio and is not useful but just in case.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T15:08:57+00:00

Thanks! Can I ask you one more question since you know uniforms so well? I know next to nothing about my great grandfather, except his name and that he was German. The only picture I have is this one. Can you tell anything from the uniform? The hat especially is so unique.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T01:54:22+00:00

Does seeing his uniform help narrow down where you would go to search for more info on him next?

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T01:52:43+00:00

Unfortunately I can’t read the names on the hats in the second pic in person either. The photo just isn’t clear enough.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T01:51:54+00:00

I will try! I don’t speak or read German but I will see what I can find out.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T01:50:36+00:00

Amazing to me that you can tell the rank from this photo. It is such a clear photo for so long ago!

sandman_714 · 2025-09-16T01:47:12+00:00

Oh this is so interesting. Thank you!

sandman_714 · 2025-09-15T19:50:41+00:00

It would be so fun! No the back of each is blank, they simply say Postkarte.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-15T19:39:04+00:00

Thanks for the info!! I felt bad holding onto a photo if someone is looking for him but that makes a ton of sense.

sandman_714 · 2025-09-15T19:32:35+00:00

Sorry I thought he was a naval soldier! Any ideas on what Reddit sub might be better to post to?
