- was contacted by three "adoptees" that I share DNA with but we are still trying to figure out who the parents are
- realized that many of my branches in the NC/TN area (my father's mom side) is extremely intertwined... meaning that several families married into each other and several cousins married each other
- found out that my great grandmother was married twice- her first marriage was at a very young age and didn't last long before she married my great grandfather. I am really curious to find out what happened to this first husband
- broke through a brick wall with my great grandmother Kate Baker- finally figured out her parent was Cornelius Baker...and he was a very known reverend in his area.
- also, my aunt's DNA has confirmed a lot!

updates to research
A quick overview of things I have learned about my family thus far from genealogical research:

...archaic DNA calculations...
Found on Gedmatch.com- the "Archaic DNA Matches" calculator.
Explain:
My first match... "Segments shown are larger than 5.0 cM and 500 SNPs."
On chromosome #14: (need to click on image to see)
Results of "Segments shown are larger than 1.0 cM and 100 SNPs."

...first DNA results...
My first DNA results from Ancestry.com.
The Western Europe and Great Britain are not surprises. I was not expecting this much percentage of Irish or Scandinavia or any of Italy/Greece... but I have a lot to learn about DNA, human migration etc. My "trace regions" are not terribly surprising but I want to go further in my research and have been using Gedmatch.com to run various calculations. I will eventually have my DNA tested by a variety of companies to compare results... as well as find more cousins!
