Thank you

Hello. Brand new, so pardon my inability. I promise to get smarter every day. How do I add that line that everyone else has? I'd like to include research interests with my posts, but don't see where I add that.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA testing is it worth it
« on: Thursday 02 March 17 08:10 GMT (UK)  »
DNA testing gives fascinating information. However, some get greater benefit than others. Some connect with close relatives and learn more together. Most of my matches are distant cousins. We've had interesting chats, but no luck finding our common ancestors. My husband had great matches with his results. Lucky! For each of us, it is nice to learn your haplogroups. For men, they have the benefit of being able to do surname studies connected with their paternal haplogroup through their Y chromosome. We tested with 23andme. We've uploaded to GEDmatch to compare to a broad group of people who have tested with other companies. We've also uploaded our raw data to sites like Genetic Genie, Livewello, and Promethease to learn more about our health. It's all very interesting ... however, I really wish that I would find some relatives who could help me get through brick walls in paper trail research (especially Irish).
