We have a new mayor in Waipa so not the same area. I’m right in the middle of the whinging, racist farmer crew. Happy to get handouts when they have a bad year and are the only ones creaming it right now, voting against welfare for anyone else.

Sad to see that the racists in my rural electorate have voted to get rid of the Maori ward. Not surprising given they love this coalition. 😩

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

What a cool story. Loved reading it. Thank you! That would have been a fun time finally resolving who the mystery man was!

Isn’t it amazing how all these secrets these people thought would never be known, are being uncovered by the magic of DNA. Would be complete science fiction to them!

You sound like me. Pick away at it over years, hoping the mystery key will turn up. Sometimes it does and sometimes you get adjacent information that will be as close as you get. New matches all the time definitely helps keep the searches alive!

I’ve got a mystery in my line. A bunch of people we and many of our Kilkenny cousins match. They have zero Irish in their extensive trees but all have Kilkenny ancestry. Can’t pinpoint who but someone was most probably having an affair with a cheeky Irish bloke in NY.

Have you tried piecing together the shared matches he has on the Irish side? Any common names coming up that you can build trees from? You have to pay for pro tools on top of ancestry subscription to delve into it, but it is a mystery that can potentially be solved. ( I love these kind of puzzles)

I’ve been able to use DNA to further my tree. I’ve found cousins who only had a generation or two in their tree and researching their tree further back have figured out that their gg grandparent is my gg uncle John Ryan (for eg). I love all the detective work and the stories I’ve uncovered.

I was born here. My gg grandparents all arrived in the 1800's and my parents met in Dunedin. Both my parents have a mix of Irish and Scottish and even have distant cousins in common. It's been interesting sorting it all out, but I have an extensive tree and many DNA cousins I want to visit!!

What a pretty map. ☺️ First time Donegal has shown up in Ancestry origins but not the first time in my research. I also find it interesting that they lump central Scotland and Northern Ireland in together. #genealogy #ancestry
Ancestry ancestral regions showing 32% Munster, 25% Hebrides and Western Highlands, 15% Leinster, 13% Connacht, 7 % Donegal, 6% Central Scotland & Northern Ireland and 2% North East Scotland

Only one of Gisèle Pelicot’s rapists appealed his conviction. The court increased his sentence
A French appeals court has handed a stiffer 10-year sentence to the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot while she was drugged and unconscious.

The snails ate my water rate bill. Hopefully that means I don’t need to pay it. 😛 I can’t even scan the QR code to go paperless 😂

Someone needs to give them a lesson in marketing 101. Unique selling point appears to be missing.
