Yes, definitely not trusting those trees. She was Catholic and immigrated to Boston around 1883/4 with her parents. She later married Patrick Travers from Donegal in Boston.

Have you looked up the Leeds method? There are some great YouTube videos on it. Especially from the creator (Dana Leeds) and Yourdnaguide / Diahan Southard

Omg the reconstructed ancestors feature of 23&me is so interesting but I canโ€™t afford to get a full year of premium rn ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ especially not for multiple accounts since you canโ€™t manage kits on 23&me #genealogy #23andme

I actually checked and Iโ€™m pretty sure i would need to request it from the city / state for a boston death in 1936 but I donโ€™t want to spend that money loll

Anyone know where I can find a death record for Boston in 1936? #genealogy #familyhistory

Hm i actually found a birth record for her child that says she was born in Killarney but thereโ€™s several slightly conflicting records attached on familysearch. Theyโ€™ve attached her parentsโ€™ marriage record in two towns quite far from each other. Iโ€™ve also seen conflicting last name for her mom.

Unfortunately her name is Catherine Sullivan ๐Ÿ˜ญ but dna journeys point to one of these areas. Iโ€™m also going through dna matches now. I have a pretty consistent birth year (~1871) but donโ€™t see a birth with the matching parents. Iโ€™m going to look again though.

Decided to start over with researching my Irish 2x great grandma because i cannot figure out where she was born or who her parents were (concretely). & her familysearch profile has a bunch of info i donโ€™t trust. Any advice? #genealogy #familyhistory

Got excited bc i got a notif for a 50cM match on myheritage but the largest segment is only 8cM, they donโ€™t match with my dad & have a completely diff background from my mom sooo seems a little fishy idk #genealogy

I got the ancestry all access membership that apparently includes Newspapers.con but almost everything is telling me to upgrade โ€ฆ so what exactly does all access allow me to do on newspapers ? #ancestry #genealogy #newspapers

Also Iโ€™ve continued this momentum and built so much of my family tree and figured out who other close dna matches are! Including someone famous ๐Ÿคซ #genealogy #familyhistory

I also quickly found the husband of one of these cousins which led me to confirming the relationship to my grandmaโ€™s closest dna match on ancestry! I had his tree partially built for years and never figured it out! #familyhistory #genealogy

Had such a huge #genealogy break through last night! I got a hint on family search for my grandmaโ€™s oldest (half) aunt that I had very little information on. This led me to finding her husband and 7 new first cousins of my grandma! The oldest was born 53 before her ๐Ÿ˜ญ #familyhistory

Came across another mess made by someone on family search Omg ๐Ÿคฆ made someoneโ€™s aunt and uncle their parents because they had a first cousin with a similar name / birthday. Looks like there might be some more issues but i messaged them and trying to work some of it out #familyhistory #genealogy

A photo of a few lines from a Welsh-language novella that includes two characters briefly speaking Esperanto.

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world

Yes itโ€™s really amazing, some lines go pretty far back and on others, i have more recent brick walls. But there are ways around a lot of those so I stay positive lol

It was a record set Iโ€™m so familiar with and have looked through dozens of times but I noticed a death entry in an index with the surname I was looking for but didnโ€™t list the first name. I decided to check just in case and boom! My 4x great grandma #genealogy #familyhistory

Connection to my grandmaโ€™s 2nd & 3rd closest dna matches on myheritage! Iโ€™ve been trying to figure it out for years lol. They would be her 3C1R & 3C2R! This also led me to find my 4x ggma death, my 5x ggparents & and a set of 6x! #genealogy #familyhistory
