Continuing with GedMatch

 I will be working on my kit today in Gedmatch so at the half way point looking at possible useful matches that are new (and sometimes old with new value because of the place where we are matching). Then on to FT DNA and Living DNA both of which I have given glances to over the last six months. Then I can move ahead with my genealogical charts in both books - Pincombe and Blake. 

No new thoughts on how to proceed with the books. I mostly have a direction that I am following although tangents are always welcomed if they provide information that assists me in this pursuit of these two lines going back or coming forward whichever way one wants to look at it. I have the direct line which is our line right back and down to our parents although I continue to be of the opinion that I will bring everything up to Census time perhaps the 1851 as it has more information. There was an explosion in growth in the British Isles in the latter part of the 1800s possibly to replace so many people emigrating throughout the British Empire in those days looking for opportunity to put down new roots in a place that felt just like living at home in many ways (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and India felt inviting for many). And so the people of British Isles heritage moved their DNA around the world. The advantage certainly was to increase the variety in DNA which gives more opportunity to eliminate DNA that is less desirable. Inbreeding is always a problem with DNA as it gives too much possibility of inheriting the same defect from both parents. This huge movement of people did improve the lifespan of peoples around the world I believe. 

Moving forward in time is the aim of the human race and each generation should do the best they can do to make the world a better place. God gave us this beautiful planet for our species and we need to pass it on to the next generations as intact as possible so that they too can use their ingenuity and ability to make the world a better place to live in for sure. 

Prayers for those recovering from the accident at LaGuardia. Prayers for the world which God made and left His commandments to let us know how to live.
