Hi Michael,
I have been following along, but really don't have more to add. Are you
just trying to compare results or the way it is presented by 23andme?
Ancestry is supposedly struggling to retain marketshare and may be bought
out. I thought you were a little paranoid about losing public information
to for profit organizations, but you may have a point.
Technology is increasing so rapidly. We had friends from Denmark over this
past week. He works in IT, looked up my husband's Schmidt ancestor's farm
on Google Earth, and printed out a photo of how it looks today. It was the
farm of the parents of Mette Schmidt who married Emmett Cooley. They left
the farm in 1884, but it is still thriving under the same name.
I will check to see if I have any more female descendents of William M
Cooley that you have not yet included and be back to you.
