11:28 am

jmcnrick

hi ru!

11:28 am

rururocks

hi je

11:28 am

jmcnrick

I have only found the short word describing silly people

11:28 am

hokie carla

you've got a nose for puns, ru

11:28 am

jmcnrick

so have I been by since my boy made it to Ireland for grad school? *proud mama*

11:29 am

rururocks

be it fart from me to comment on that hokie

11:29 am

jmcnrick

ru tends to lay stinkers

11:29 am

hokie carla

I think I saw someone was in grad school in Ireland, must have been you. congrats!

11:30 am

hokie carla

my son was wanting to study abroad this fall, but alas. he is soph in college, so hopefully he'll get a chance before graduation.

11:30 am

jmcnrick

sadly everything is locked down so he can barely get off campus and no trips to Dublin

11:30 am

hokie carla

yeah, that stinks

11:31 am

rururocks

i'd love to go to grad school in scotland :D

11:31 am

jmcnrick

I hope it works out for him hokie. My boy was never able to do that in undergraduate but he is getting his masters in anthropology now. Crazy time to be in Ireland.

11:31 am

hokie carla

I'd just like to visit Ireland and Scotland, no need for school

11:31 am

jmcnrick

Scotland is beautiful for sure

11:31 am

MollyL

How did he get there? I though international travel was still not allowed.

11:32 am

hokie carla

I thought so too, Molly, but I know a young lady from here who went to London to play soccer. She had to quarantine for 2 weeks but had someone bringing her food and stuff.

11:32 am

jmcnrick

my icon is the clan castle for my family in western Scotland

11:33 am

jmcnrick

They allow travel for work and school. Just no tourists. And he had to stay in his dorm room for 14 days.

11:33 am

jmcnrick

he flew over in a plane that held 30 passengers when it had 300 seats.

11:34 am

hokie carla

I'm sure somewhere in my family there is a castle in Scotland ;)

11:35 am

hokie carla

50 left!

11:36 am

jmcnrick

if you are Scottish lineage then you belong to a clan and your clan may have one. The clan chief actually lives in Detroit and the castle is just a tourist place--with rooms for the chief to live if he comes to visit.

11:36 am

jmcnrick

go hokie go!

11:37 am

hokie carla

yes, I think my uncle has sent me pics of a castle. my maiden name is irish, but my mom and her mom have scottish names and my family tree is pretty much all that.

11:38 am

hokie carla

ooh, found a d4

11:38 am

rururocks

i don't have a speck of irish in me

11:38 am

jmcnrick

my family on my daddy's side is scottish but his dad was born in Dublin.

11:40 am

hokie carla

I did the 23andme and was way less Irish that I was expecting, but more Scottish. Way more French & German than I knew of.

11:40 am

hokie carla

my family has been in the same county in VA since like the late 1600s/early 1700s

11:41 am

jmcnrick

my sister did the dna thing and we were pretty much scottish and scandinavian which makes sense since the vikings spent a lot of time in scotland

11:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have some scandinavian and my son the history buff said the same thing about the vikings.

11:42 am

jmcnrick

neat hokie. My mother's family has been in the Americas since the 1600 but not my dad's. He was first generation born here but I never knew it and I don't think he did either.

11:42 am

hokie carla

I also had a surprise with Africa, so then I did ancestry.com DNA and they concurred.

11:42 am

rururocks

whoa.. that's interesting hokie

11:43 am

jmcnrick

There is a great book called the Last Kingdom by Bernard Caldwell that is very interesting about the Viking in Scotland

11:43 am

penquis

a word of advice.....keep checking back with Ancestry and 23 & Me periodically.....information changes with more DNA on file.....

11:43 am

jmcnrick

Northern Africa?

11:44 am

SuzeeQ24

wow..finally got back in

11:44 am

jmcnrick

good idea penquis

11:44 am

hokie carla

yeah. 23andme estimated an ancestor born between 1730 and 1820 was 100% african. my dad and I came to a brick wall when we were researching his side and his really old aunts wouldn't say about this guy but then they finally said he was illegitimate. I think his mother may have been a slave.

11:44 am

jmcnrick

welcome back Suzee

11:44 am

penquis

mine shifted a bit over time...

11:44 am

rururocks

if hokie starts listening to rap music we'll know she's searching her roots

11:45 am

SuzeeQ24

ty..site was down..or was it my computer?

11:45 am

jmcnrick

the site was down for a while Suzee

11:45 am

hokie carla

actually more ivory coast & ghana, jmc

11:45 am

zoozzoom

Site was down.

11:45 am

penquis

hi zooz...

11:45 am

SuzeeQ24

ok

11:46 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Penquis...

11:46 am

jmcnrick

interesting. . . hokie

11:46 am

jmcnrick

hi zooz

11:46 am

hokie carla

yes, pen, mine have definitely changed over time. actually the last estimate on ancestry raised the % of african.

11:47 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jmc

11:47 am

penquis

my only constant has been 2 percent Basque from my mother's side....

11:47 am

hokie carla

interesting

11:47 am

jmcnrick

well I was trying for nbt but it is not to be. I need to power wash my back steps in the relative warm.

11:47 am

jmcnrick

Glad to see you all and stay safe.

11:48 am

rururocks

good morning mr zooz

11:48 am

hokie carla

you too!

11:48 am

Haz1558

It's interesting that so many Americans seem to have got DNA profiles done. I don't know anybody here who has done so.

11:48 am

zoozzoom

You rtoo, Jmc! â¤

11:48 am

zoozzoom

Not me, Haz.

11:48 am

hokie carla

probably because everyone there knows where they're from

11:48 am

penquis

my percentage of French ancestry has steadily climbed....makes sense since my mother's and my father's ancestry goes back to emigres from France in the early to mid 1600s....

11:49 am

hokie carla

I also had way more english than I expected

11:49 am

rururocks

I've never gotten my DNA done.. i'm afraid to know :D

11:49 am

Haz1558

Probably, carla.

11:49 am

penquis

The US is a "melting pot" so it's not surprising to me that a lot of us have pursued DNA testing....

11:50 am

zoozzoom

I did see a TV piece where they sent their DNA to about four or five different places and all of them came back different. So that put me off.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Is it relatively expensive to do?

11:50 am

hokie carla

well, they always run sales around holidays

11:50 am

hokie carla

I think I paid about $50US for each.

11:51 am

penquis

zooz...i have found that my Ancestry and 23 & Me results have gotten closer over time.....

11:52 am

zoozzoom

I like the anchestor website where you can check who was in your family tree from way back.

11:53 am

HarryHood

woohoo

11:53 am

penquis

my professional organization gave me a big gift certificate from Amazon when I stopped publishing the newsletter....figured I would use it for something I wouldn't normally pay for.....so I did both.....

11:53 am

hokie carla

they categorize them slightly different too. my 23andme has British & Irish, then French & German. ancestry has England & NW Europe, Scotland, Germanic Europe, & Ireland

11:53 am

hokie carla

howdy, harry

11:53 am

Haz1558

My paternal grandmother (the one in my icon) had father unknown and it has frustrated me to have a blank in the family tree.

11:53 am

HarryHood

so very nice to ssee you all

11:54 am

penquis

the problem with Ancestry is that they let you do your family tree but you can't see those of others or check out most of the "hints" they give you unless you join with a monthly fee....

11:54 am

hokie carla

it's possible you could find some relatives, haz, but if not many people there are doing it...

11:54 am

HarryHood

was drinking coffee without babble - weird.

11:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, I have loads of relatives without looking for more!

11:54 am

periwinkle

11:56 am

penquis

I found out that the sister of one of my ancestors was married to a pirate (Beausoleil)....another distant cousin was considered an Indian chief in the 1700s even though he wasn't a native American....got these pieces of info by messages from other relatives I did not know....

11:56 am

hokie carla

oh, it's a dragonfly. starts with a smell, ends with a man's nickname.

11:57 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

I went with my parents like 20 years ago to visit an older relative of my dad, and he showed us a portrait of a 100% Cherokee ancestor, but no Native Am. showed up in mine.

11:58 am

Aloyisius

am excited about the Browns game

11:58 am

hokie carla

bye pen

11:58 am

MollyL

It starts with most of the smell, for those who are confused

11:59 am

hokie carla

panthers are about to play da bears

11:59 am

hokie carla

well, if it was all the smell you would dead end, so I figured people would notice that

11:59 am

periwinkle

I am reminded of my twisted friend who, one Halloween, went to a party with a potato dangling from the front of his belt buckle. When asked what he was dressed up as, he replied a di8. Har-dee-har.

12:02 pm

12:03 pm

rururocks

hokie carla

*Note to self: No more comments on Carla;s clues.

3:01 pm

hokie carla

I think I've mentioned before it takes a LOT to offend me on the internet.

3:01 pm

hokie carla

you could just call it constructive criticism

3:02 pm

cybernan

ty - was starting with the wrong a at first

3:03 pm

MollyL

What I said earlier was "if people are confused". I thought that would diffuse any feather ruffling. Apparently not. Lesson learned.

3:04 pm

hokie carla

well, my feathers aren't actually ruffled, that's why I used the winky smiley when I said you yelled at me. it was a joke.

3:04 pm

hokie carla

and my last 7 I had to look up was the chili peppers! argh

3:06 pm
