replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O The thing is, DNA doesn't really fit the confines of country borders, especially those recently drawn! #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A1 I've not only traced my own family history, I've been a professional genealogist for several years (though currently taking a break to travel). To fully trace your ancestry you typically need to include offline records. #CultureTrav

replying to @RyanTravelsEats @RyanTravelsEats @DanaHFreeman @Nicolette_O @brianmayroam Yes, but how cool is it to see a ship manifest written in hand with your family on it? And I loved that I could print the document, super cool. #CultureTrav

A3. Most of my ancesters seem to be from the UK, except a great-great grandmother from Europe somewhere. I may even have been without realising! I've visited some of the battlefield sites in France and Belgium, where my Great-Uncle fought in WW2 #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3: I went to Bratislava, Slovakia for two days, but it wasn't nearly enough. And my family isn't from that area, so I'd love to go back and go to the towns they're actually from. #CultureTrav

A3: I'm a standard northern European mix, so yes. And, I've been to the tiny town in southern England of my surname (twice). No digital photos of Mattingly, England. But other photos of the cozy pub there. I actually got a genealogy book from the greenhouse there. #CultureTrav

replying to @RyanTravelsEats @RyanTravelsEats @Nicolette_O @brianmayroam And it was really up to the person doing the intake and their hand writing as well. It was easy to misspell things and then that became your new last name. #CultureTrav

replying to @brianmayroam
@brianmayroam A1: I have! Considering I’ve only used Ancestry when they have free access weekends, I’ve gotten back a decent amount. So far have traced the Bryant surname to 1808 in Maine and learned a LOT about my heritage.
Surprisingly little Irish!

replying to @DanaHFreeman @DanaHFreeman @Nicolette_O @brianmayroam And it took a while to figure out the name of the city they were originally from, since I'm sure whoever wrote it down was only going by pronunciation and had NO idea what the actual city was. #CultureTrav

@brianmayroam A2: I was surprised at how little Irish I am considering my red hair and fair complexion. I’m just as much French, Swedish and German as I am Irish.

replying to @Turtlestravel @Turtlestravel @MomsWanderlust Yea, so I recently went in to check on the results just for fun, and it added Norwegian and Swedish to the "updated" results. #CultureTrav
