So Where In Africa Will My DNA Take Me?





Okay, so I finally put my pennies together and purchased the mtFullSequence test from FamilytreeDNA last month. Time to find out about my earliest roots. I can't wait to get my results. Let's see when they say the test will come back. 



UGGGHHH! November 7th!!! Okay I must have patience. (*sigh*)

    I had a test done with Family tree. They weren't all that specific. Didn't you test some where else awhile ago?

      Hi Kristin! I have had other DNA tests done but they were Admixture tests. First through African Ancestry and then most recently through Ancestry.com. This was my first Mitochondrial DNA test.

    This is great news! I did the mtDNA last year with Family Tree DNA and the results came back a little late due to the number of test that hit them last year. But it was worth the wait for I was at least able to pinpoint the origin of of the females in my family tree. That reminds me, I need to order a kit for my brother the next they run a sale!

      Thanks Liv! I know I can't wait until they run another sale too, because there is another kit I would like to order and then that will be it for me for a little while.

It's Been A Long Time

I wanted to say hello to everyone. I know it's been a long time since my last post. The world is in a much different space from when I last wrote on March 2nd. So am I. I hope and pray that all of you out there are safe and taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. Sorry that genealogy has kind of fallen by the wayside.  Please stay vigilant and wear your mask when you go out. Keep the hand sanitizer handy. Wash your hands. This is how we take care of each other these days.  Be well, be kind, and be patient. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  We'll get there if we take care of each other.

Amanuensis Monday: Charity Ambrose Deed to Mt. Olive Methodist Church

Image
At last, some genealogy right?!! LOL. I decided to jump back into things with an Amanuensis Monday post. I have to thank a fellow genealogy friend of mine who helped me out a couple of months ago, Nathaniel Glasgow. He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose  to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC. Guess who's listed among the trustees. My maternal 3rd great grandfather and his son, Mortimer and Alfred Mitchell.  State of North Carolina}      Craven County This deed made this 6th day of November in the year 1893 by Charity Ambrose of the first part of Craven County, and Mortimer Mitchell, Charles F.

Pink Invitational 2020

Here's pictures of our beautiful girl back from injury. In the fall, she broke a bone in her left foot which took a long time to heal. These are pictures from her second competition of the season, Pink Invitational 2020. She's getting stronger every week. I loved watching her compete and hanging out with her teammates. They are so supportive of one another. No medals this time for her but she gained a bunch of her confidence back.  She competed late on Saturday February 22, 2020 so that involved an overnight stay in Philadelphia. I don't like driving long distances at night especially if I'm tired. The following day we spent time sightseeing and checking out a Blick art supply store that was near our hotel. OMG! If you love doing art, then you love Blick! We could have spent the whole day there, trying out different art supplies, but we had to make that drive back home.  Bob and his squirrel assistant are looking at me like, "Who the
