I'll have to try this application too!<br /><br />Since you have some ancestors from small villages (like I do), I assume you are related to some people in more than one way. For example, I have a cousin that I know is my 2C1R and my 3C2R, and is probably related to me in other ways too.<br /><br />Do you know how the Kinship Calculator in Family Tree Analyzer works?<br />- Does it show the closest Kinship? <br />- The first one it runs across?<br />- Or are people counted in every category they appear in?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-37618140711568242282022-02-10T08:19:23.368-05:002022-02-10T08:19:23.368-05:00Church records are not available for any of my tow...Church records are not available for any of my towns either.

We're having an Ice Age apparently here in coastal Texas, so I can't do much else. :)<br /><br />I think it is a wonderful idea to film the graveyard in Italy and what a blessing to be able to go there. My uncle was stationed there while he was in the Navy and my oldest son has been there via the Navy, too. It is a beautiful country. Some of my ethnicity reports have said Italian, but I have yet to find where it could have come from. <br /><br />When will you get to go back to Italy? I look forward to seeing your after-Italy posts. :)Suzanne G.

I think it is awesome what you're doing, connecting the folks in those hometowns together. <br /><br />I realized last night, while looking at the graveyard for the church near where my late father-in-law was born, that likely everyone in that graveyard is part of our family. I can't wait to get that all worked out. <br /><br />My husband's family and my family have been dancing around each other in that county for well over a century, and likely longer. I find that pretty exciting. :)Suzanne G.

Today I made sure everyone married in my Grandpa Iamarino's hometown in 1809-1811 is in my tree.

I hope with each person who is added to my tree, someone is being helped to work out their family puzzle. <br /><br />I get those weird relationships, too. The one that throws me for a loop is a DNA cousin with whom I have a 101cM match. The relationship Ancestry gives me is "1st cousin 2x removed of husband of 2nd cousin 2x removed", which doesn't sound much like a genetic kinship to me. <br /><br />I haven't been able to backtrack to this 2C2R, but I do have other shared cousins with him, who I match around 40-50cMs, that I have successfully placed in my tree. Still, I can't place him. Something just isn't adding up. I have an idea where that "not adding up" has happened, but proving it is an entirely different story!<br /><br />Until then, I get tormented with "1st cousin 2x removed of husband of 2nd cousin 2x removed".<br /><br />You're doing a great job with your tree! Thanks for another great post. :)<br />Suzanne G. McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903273284287772082noreply@blogger.com
