Diggin' for Clues: December 2016
http://www.digginforclues.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
December 11, 2016. DNA and a Crisis of Faith. I was raised in a very conservative, very religious home. As Christians, our lives literally revolved around the church. As my mother used to say to my father "we're at church any time the doors are open". And that was true. Once I went away to college, I latched. My freedom like I was drowning. You can probably imagine the scene. Utter chaos. I've read a great number of books about Judaism and am stunned by the persecution and. I'm wondering what others did ...

Diggin' for Clues: September 2016
http://www.digginforclues.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
September 26, 2016. More questions than answers. How it is that I got one answer but it led me to about 1000 new questions? I received news of my mom's blood type. The news is bad. Potential Baby = O. It's not possible for two O parents to produce an A child. Unless they're mutants, which they aren't. This means one or both of my parents are not my biological parents. Now, everyone keeps reminding me what an awesome childhood I had, so what does it matter, blah, blah, blah. 4) Sperm donor. Really? So I'm...

October 9, 2016. Perseverance serendipity = Success. I found my biological father. I feel both grateful and guilty – at the same time.

Diggin' for Clues: Fine Print
http://www.digginforclues.com/p/fine-print.html
Documenting sources for my genealogy research is one of my weak points. I always source when possible, but almost never to the perfection most advanced genealogists would probably prefer. Not all my information comes from a reliable source. Some of it is speculation, or a figment of my imagination, or some thing I found on the internet. You know how it goes. And all the other usual internet sites. I've poured over family Bibles, traipsed around cemeteries in the snow, and spent beautiful sunny aftern...

May 23, 2016. So got my DNA test results back. So I finally got my DNA test results back. And BOY OH BOY was I surprised! 40% European Jewish. Specifically,. I guess the data doesn't lie, but who ever would have thought? Talk about knocking my socks off. For real. Not that I have a single thing against being of Jewish descent. But golly.I come from a long long long line of Baptist preachers and moonshiners. There wasn't a Jew in the bunch, far as I knew. Now I need to figure out what to do with the resul...
