I joined Genomelink out of curiosity. It's a freemium site. Free to join and upload DNA data. A number of free reports, ancestry breakdown and genetic traits etc. They use these to hopefully get you to upgrade, but not too forcefully. There are some interesting parts to it, some of the traits are weirdly correct.
It's a bit of fun at the moment, but some does ring true.

One other mystery to be solved is I have a photo of two unknown ladies in the early 1920s. One of them is of African descent. DNA tests show I have a tiny amount of African ancestry, which I know is to be taken with a pinch of salt, but I have a lot of 4th cousin matches in the USA with people of African American descent. Hoping that 2024 brings me closer to solving that one.
Good luck and good wishes to all for next year.

Whilst researching a friends tree I came across syncope as a cause of death. It turned out that the syncope was a symptom of a rare cardiac disease that affects the heart rate.

Broke down a long-standing wall when some new records came online, and it lead to finding a gateway ancestor in the process. Still got a 20 year old wall that stubbornly reduces to crack, where are you GT GT grandfather Bush?

My thoughts are with you Jeff. I lost my wife after a short fight with lung cancer 8 years ago.

You could try going to outlook.live.com and try logging in. If you cannot, there should be an account recovery, or password recovery option.
