It'd be virtual. Not sure how I ended up in Indiana. #genchat

A3: How did I get to Indiana? Anyway, I guess if I was working for someone I'd ask a librarian for a place to start for some leads. #genchat

A2: I'm seeing tons of guides for various countries. #genchat

A1. I guess you could start with something that's relevant to your interests or your family tree. That's a good place to start. #genchat

Just saw "Naked Gun" 2025. It's possibly on par with the originals. At least that's what my inner monologue tells me.

Uhh….Not sure what I can say about that one. I’ll bring snacks. #genchat

Chris Ferraiolo/Cferra @cferra1227.bsky.social · 15d

So, now all I can do is wait and see what my friend in Italy can find about Giovanni and Maria's parents. Fingers crossed because obviously one of them is a Coppola. #genchat

Thanks for listening, everyone!

I should note that I share 56 cMs with the 616 lady. My great-aunt shares 137. My dad shares 107. #genchat

I should note that I had to leave out Frank Coppola's kids with Nordina in one of the WATO charts for the Coppolas so I could get a clear view of what my connection to the Coppolas is as those matches were a LOT closer. Like 616 cMs or lower. #genchat
