52 Ancestors – Week 15 – DNA

Posted by Chiara in 52ancestors, Bass, DNA

I will admit that I am not a real sciencey person. Most of it goes right over my head. In school science bored the tears out of me. The only science I could somewhat handle was psychology which is why 90% of the science in college was different psych classes with the exception of biology…Read more »

52 Ancestors – Week 9 – At the Courthouse

Posted by Chiara in 52ancestors, Bass, Beardsley, Clinton County, NY, DellaVecchia, Moran, New York Research, Witherwax

For me this prompt was tough. I haven’t been to a courthouse or a town hall in ages, that isn’t saying that I haven’t found legal documents anywhere. Right now I have a super long list of things I would like to find at a courthouse and I even have plans to visit the Surrogate’s…Read more »

52 Ancestors – Favorite Photo

Posted by Chiara in 52ancestors, Bass

Week 2 of 52 Ancestors is Favorite Photo. This was a tough one for me because I don’t have a lot of old family photos. Also photos take such a huge part in my life as a former scrapbooker. I would still scrapbook if I had more time. Priorities. As I thought of a photo…Read more »
