I know what you meant, but the mother's surname is also a "real surname".

I have a case where a girl was adopted by her uncle (her mother's brother). She's just as entitled to that surname by DNA as she is to her father's surname. 🤷 #AncestryHour

#AncestryHour Ah! I can read it online via FamilySearch books.

#AncestryHour Apparently there aren't any closer to me than Salt Lake City. I would expect my local FS center library to be in WorldCat because it's one of the bigger centers.

#AncestryHour I do have an Ancestry sub. It's a new feature they're rolling out slowly to subscribers.

#AncestryHour Your friend has a NPE close by in time? Because in one webinar I saw, the presenter said for Y-DNA projects, his back-of-the-envelope calculation is that maybe 50% of the people will have the surname associated with the project. (Reasons vary & for the others, not all are NPEs.)

#AncestryHour I need to decide whether I want to pay extra to have a private tree at American AncesTREES. If so, I could build a do-over tree on that site.

#AncestryHour Hooray! I'm still stuck on 18 December for the last will I received.

#AncestryHour This is why it helps to have someone to talk to about your #genealogy research. This right here.

#AncestryHour Thanks for asking! Because the moment after I hit the reply button after saying "I can't remember" then I did remember.

#AncestryHour I just checked and apparently there's no ebook. WorldCat says the closest library to me is the FHL (aka FamilySearch library, but I will always think of it as the FHL, fewer keystrokes, too).

#AncestryHour They're rolling it out slowly and I don't have it. I've only seen other people's posts about it. If you pull down the search menu on the Ancestry nav bar, I think it shows up there for the people who have it.

#AncestryHour Oh, wait! I remember. The Genealogy Center has a cool database of WW1-era alien registrations. I want to look for the book the database is based on because I want to search by place. www.genealogycenter.info/search_germa...

#AncestryHour Hi, Cristina! At the moment, I'm trying to remember the research idea I had in the middle of the night about what I wanted to do next. I should have grabbed my phone and written myself a note. 🤦

I have played "allergies, cold, or Covid?" and do not recommend that game.

Hope you feel better soon.

"Cool" is when the bus drivers are on strike, you decide to walk home, and a driver offers you a free ride on her way back to the bus barn.

This? Not cool.

#EuroFigure If there was a "ghost of Dick Button" drinking game, after watching the women's free and the men's free, I'd be completely hammered. Chris Howarth has been pulling out "[that] stands him in good stead" all weekend.
