It actually worked very well to separate out the grandparent line (I only did Blake thus far) but in four sheets I capture the four siblings tested there and there are four sheets because I always used the largest match to define a siblings matches with the rest simply a line entry beside that. The yield was great for Blake with 246 attached to my list (includes unassigned but likely paternal), and 78, 41 and 57 to the other three siblings. I expect there to be a lot with the 2x great grandparents Blake having 54 grandchildren in the mid to latter part of the 1800s. Rawlings, Pincombe and Buller still to separate out but will likely do that today.
I also am working on extracting the matches from FT DNA and good progress there. Every company does their display differently but in the long run I do need to go into each account and collect the data. I like to do as much recognition as I can tell in the first run through and that generally works very well. Takes a little longer with the first time the match occurs but is quicker with the rest.
Listening to all the comments by the Liberal and Conservative Parties (and the occasional comment by the Block) but no opinion really. I want to see this work well and the onus will be on working together as much as possible providing feedback to the party that has won the election (the feedback is good so long as it continues to support the overall aim of the platforms presented by the parties during the election cycle). There are worrying trends here and there like the huge deficit showing up in the Ontario Budget. But there are also bonuses as the Trans Mountain Pipeline is proving its worth with huge shipments to other customers than the United States. This pipeline built by the Liberal government at a huge expense will be a profitable venture for all Canadians as it was built with our tax money. The provinces need to work together absolutely. The resources found on Canadian land needs to be shared by all the people and the First Nations has been very progressive on that. Private companies make good money where they have put a stake into particular resources but only because of the Canadian people being willing to pay the taxes that provide the support to industry when it is needed to keep this country solvent (mining oil in particular has had very large government incentives through the years). If a province is short of money for health care I can highly recommend the Health Tax levied in Ontario; it brings in billions for health care offsetting the higher cost of providing medical care that exists in our lives due to so many new ways to deal with illness. But mostly staying away from politics these days. There is work to be done and at nearly 80 I just need to keep out of the way for sure (unless needed which is unlikely).
So continuing with pulling the matches again today and I need my COVID shot so that will also be accomplished in due time. I also need to garden but the inspiration just hasn't come to me. I am looking at the lovely dandelions and watching the bees work the flowers and do not like to disturb them. The garden will get its work done in due course I am sure.
