(73,968 posts)22. just to back up the paper trail.
i do have 1 specific link i'm trying to make.
but i understand it links to public trees. not that i trust those either. it's shaky data, but it's provable. it's the connection of the old and the new.
i'll have lots of hints. i'll take them for nothing more.
and again- 93% irish, not by them, but by 23/me and myheritage. the rest is viking and neanderthal. so...
have a sister and a couple cousins on there already, tho. have an adopted cousin who would like to figure out her link, too. good geek fun for me.
i would assume a high enough bar that the tech is adequate. and the bigger the data base, the better the accuracy. that's what they say is happening, and i have no reason to think otherwise.
