This morning at 8am I was to take the Microsoft 70-270 exam – Microsoft Windows XP Pro. I had taken the exam last month and failed miserably. So, this is my second chance. I knew I should have been studying big time for it, but I didn’t study as much as I had wanted again. So, [...] I normally don’t get into political discussions, but I must comment. I am appalled at the conduct of Hilary and Barack at the recent Democratic debate. I realize that a debate usually involves a discussion of the differences in points of view on particular topics. However, what Hilary and Barack did was far from debate – [...] Ok, I received my mtDNA results via e-mail on Thursday. I’ve been looking over the results – and the matches that FTDNA provided (they were the ones who tested my DNA). They were able to provide 18 “low resolution” matches and 2 “high resolution matches”. There are 2 sections of the mitochondial DNA that are studied – [...] There are a number of ways to promote websites. Of course submitting the website address to various search engines and web directories. Another method involves pay per click advertising – which is extremely expensive. A few of the search engines look at how often the website is changed – and therefore having a blog (that’s updated [...] My back is still bothering me. Not nearly as bad as it was in December, but still enough to be a bother. I had a pain shot on Wednesday – it did not help. I didn’t expect it to because 2 years ago they didn’t help. Today was supposed to be the last day of physical [...] One of my brick walls in terms of researching my family history is James Lawhead. I have been able to discover that he was born about 1821, presumably in the US, but not sure if it was in Ohio, or another eastern state. On January 20, 1840 he married Temperance Gilson in Marion (or Morrow) County, [...] I have mentioned previously that I am taking part in the Stiles Family DNA project. It might seem crazy to do so since I am a female. The best DNA matches for genealogy reasons are those of the males – since the y chromosome only passes from father to son. The x chromosome which females have [...] Here it is January 8 in Michigan. It should be cold with snow on the ground. Instead, it is currently in the 50′s (yesterday broke a record high with 61), and no snow in sight. In fact, last night we had THUNDERSTORMS! There were even TORNADO watches and warnings posted. This is JANUARY for Pete’s Sake! I [...] I would like to thank the Genesee County Road Commission for the bang up job they did this week. On New Year’s Eve night, approximately 7 inches of snow fell at my home in Vienna Township. Then on New Year’s Day, another 3 inches of snow fell during the day. A total of 10 inches [...] DNA matching has become a hot topic for genealogists as a new way to find family. The Stiles Family of America is undertaking a DNA study as well. We are attempting to gather a “pool” of DNA by which we could identify cousins genetically. There are several families which we have been unable to connect via [...] |
