I lost a bunch of weight and here is the guilt trip from MyHeritage if I skip the gym for the day. Thanks, MyHeritage for your latest released DNA trait.
Found a connection with a MyHeritage DNA match who has the maiden name of my mom's 6th great-grandmother. Our family villages were right near each other. This was all figured out with a DNA Match of 25.9 cm (largest 19.7 cM). Make sure to look at all "distant" matches...
Enjoy free access to this collection that includes 47.1 million historical records and fills an important gap in French genealogy, since national death records for much of this period are not yet available online. www.myheritage.com/research/col...
Now, college students are using the professional services option on LinkedIn to get their projects done. The lady is a character. If someone doesn't do her project right, she will be spitting up her hairballs. She identifies as she/her/meow.
Plugging away at Czech on Duolingo and counting down to my 5th year in January.
Last day for free access to MyHeritage's collection of U.S. City Directories collection, featuring 1.3 billion historical records from approximately 26,000 directories published between 1860 and 1960. www.myheritage.com/research/rec...?
The joke is on me, thanks to Duolingo. I thought I finished four languages. Duolingo added three sections to German and a bunch of units to Russian and Ukrainian. So I will be busy when I am done with Czech. So happy I am still done with Polish.

Just hit the jackpot again on MyHeritage!!! It found a family tree match for my great-great-great-grandmother's line that I have been waiting for about 10 years. The match posted his family tree on Geni. A big thank you to MyHeritage and Geni!

The lowest price ever. My family has had two major breakthroughs with MyHeritage DNA tests and none on Ancestry, 23andme, LivingDNA, and Family Tree DNA. Don't you wonder what DNA matches you are missing for less than $20? www.myheritage.com/dna
The adventure with my mom's 2nd cousin match on MyHeritage continues. That match shared scans of my great-grandfather's nephew's memoirs. Find: Property ownership information of my Russian great-grandfather, thanks to Scribe AI translating handwritten Russian. MyHeritage=Unreal

So darn happy with MyHeritage now. I was stuck on finding info on a Russian lady who immigrated to Algeria and then to the USA. I found her ship passenger record and marriage announcement in a French Algerian newspaper (the awesome OldNews database). Not as lucky on Ancestry... Never give up...
