I played around with Ancestry website and there is one ancestor where the trial just stops. I think it's my paternal grandfather's grandfather . But on the only records that can be found his first and last name are the same. The documents that can be found are with the double name and there aren't many of them. Every family tree I could find with this man on it just stops there.
And my grandfather never really knew his father because my great grandmother divorced him (or he divorced her but there was a divorce) and never spoke about him again. To the point where my grandfather didn't know how to spell his own last name and didn't ask when he started school so he just guessed the spelling. ( My great grandmother had either remarried at this point and been widowed or was remarried and her husband was alive or she had gone back to using her maiden name I'm not sure which one was the case that no mail came to them with our last name on it).
And then there is the ancestor whoo may have married his aunt, his mother (half?) sister
This is on mom's side. What I could find is this guy who is married to a woman who has the same parents as his mother. Excpet when I went digging around Ancestry there were some family trees that showed this. Some that showed his wife's name with no parents listed and didn't have a sibling listed for his mother with his wife's name . Some had no sisterslisted for his wife but showed his mother having the youngest childi with the same name and either the same or almost the same birth year. The math added up for the possible aunt-wife to be his mothers sister. They were 20 years apart in age and the entries that listed an age for the dude and his wife showed she was older than him (even when they didn't show a relationship between his wife and his mother ).
So that makes me wonder if it's just some weird mix up that someone did on Ancestry that got added around or what was going on but I don't think I'll ever know. I do know that people get records wrong. I had seen a couple people who had Grandma E's name, birth date, parents etc saying she died in the 90s and had a different picture and maybe a different husband. I did contact 2 people about it and one had gotten the info from the other, she thanked me and corrected it. The other person never contacted me.
I did a ton of genealogy research before my father’s actual family found me. And now it is fraught and causes me stress, which is sad, because I loved doing it. My poor sister, because she was just so torn up that her dad had an illegitimate child. But on my mom’s side, it was so much fun to figure out if my great grandma was Nellie, Helen or Cornelia Bourbeau, all which could have been nicknamed Nellie. To be honest, it was the 23 and Me profile which led to the identification, not the Ancestry stuff, but it all got poisoned for me.
Anyway, I came down with a cold last Friday, thought I was over it by Monday, and today I lost my voice during the supervisor's meeting. So now I am whispering to the dogs and considering ordering pho to be delivered.
Today was a getting-stuff-done day for me, including a grocery pickup, cat chow prescription refill, visit to the cable company to find out why I got four bills in one month, and an appointment with my psychiatrist. The latter went well, but I found out the practice has just been sitting on post-insurance bills rather than invoicing me, to the tune of an $800 balance. Not fun to discover just after a move where everyone has been holding their hand out, though the receptionist seemed fine with me waiting a bit to pay it off. On the plus side, I found out I've lost another 6 lbs. since mid-December. May this trend continue through the first half of the year!
Is anyone planning on watching SMG’s new show tonight?
Love to call a medical equipment company because they've billed me for something that should be covered, and for them to tell me that I don't owe anything, and the bill was just "an estimate." An estimate with a big DUE DATE and a payment coupon. I wonder how many people have just paid the "estimate". I'm sure the company is very prompt with refunds.
Ugh, Dana. I hate medical equipment companies, who I have to deal with on a regular basis because they won't just ship out my continuing care order every month until they talk to me and are assured my permanent disability is still permanent.
morning, folks. This cold is being annoyingly persistent: I wish I didn't have any meetings today because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to say anything. At least I get to be at home.
And yes, I'm taking a 3rd covid test. Although the test has expired: so... does that mean you get more false positives, or false negatives?
I've never gotten a positive at-home test, even when I've gotten positive PCR tests.
