Continued to look at the one match that just doesn't seem to fit first thing and the actual family that this person likely descends from is on Ancestry and from the West Lorne area south west of London so somewhat interesting. It may just remain a mystery as the couple that it traces back to doesn't have parents listed on either side. Time may reveal it but at the moment it is a mystery and will remain in my file interesting but not placeable.
I continue working on Chromosome 9 as it has a rare match missing tendency on some of the records where it is expected. I have pulled out the crossover points for Chromosome 9 and working away on them with respect to the Living DNA results. It could be that one of the siblings results for Chromosome 9 is just not working on these few results - a mystery and the first time I have encountered such a thing.
Yesterday was the market day and we will just go a few more times. It is nice to have the lovely fresh crops but I am thinking perhaps it is time to return to growing our own as we have (Edward and I) for a very long time whilst we were raising children especially. They loved gardening when they were young and Edward just always loved gardening. We also went to the Grocery Store (two in fact) and picked up the week's groceries. Made a lovely pork/apple/carrot/onion/potato dinner in the crock pot which was delicious. The remains we will have as hot meat and vegetable sandwiches. The meat flaked very nicely and will reheat in the lovely sauce made from the apples and broth that we added.
That pretty well took care of the day although I had thought I might get out there and do the other half of the laneway bricks but I can see the cleared part from the windows and the car hides the uncleared part. However, I will try to get it done one of these days. Collection day today and we did a huge job of shredding so there is an extra box full of shredded paper. That will be our task today to shred even more paper. It is all scanned correspondence Edward received over 60 years of collecting material for his primarily Kipp family actually but gradually after his mother asked he did the Link family as well. So a lot of material but I decided that I would not pass on all of that original correspondence because he didn't ask me to do that and had scanned if at some time in the future someone writes and asks what their grandparents etc might have shared with him.
So today I am working away on Chromosome 9 for the most part as I create the crossover points based on the Living DNA results just to see if there are any incongruencies with the earlier work. Thus far they have been very slight looking at Chromosome 1. I think I was just lucky getting the entire Chromsome 1 from my father intact from his father - amazing really as there are a lot of matches on Chromsome 1 and I only have two crossover points within the Buller-Pincombe chromosome and two of the lengths have good matches with close cousins so worked very well to look at those many matches.
Praise be to God that the miners have been rescued in British Columbia and are fine. Mining is so different now as companies are able to take many precautions to protect their workers. We do a lot of mining in Canada.
The news is escaping me these days and I am deeply into my research once again. Plus I am working on my license renewal so that I can still drive to the grocery store and get my groceries every week or so in the winter. It is just a few blocks and I barely use any gas during that long nine months but the car runs very well and that is good. It is a modern car and they have lots of features to make them more efficient and better at not creating so much pollution. Other than that I do not drive out of my area and my daughter will get the tires changed from now on when she comes for her research breaks. She can get so much done here and spends hours online with her fellow researchers and students working away at the new challenges like AI. It is fun to watch for sure.
Weightlifting time and must get to that; the morning has flown by. Another beautiful day in God's world although it is cloudy but the rain last night was greatly needed. Mother Nature uses the rain to clean the air and the streets and water the goodness of the earth.
