Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It’s Saturday Night again –
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. Here’s your chance to sit on Genea-Santa’s lap (virtually) and tell him about your actual or wishful genealogy and family history gifts.
Rev up the olde thynking cap and cue up the Mission Impossible music – your mission should you decide to accept it – keeping with the Christmas theme – is:1) Pick out a genealogy-oriented Christmas gift for someone you know, admire, appreciate or love. It could be for a family member, someone in the genealogy community, or a friend or colleague. Describe your genealogy gift to them. [Note: you don’t have to actually gift them, although it would be a nice thing to do!]
My gift will hopefully be delivered sometime in 2024. A Crawford descendant recently received a BigY DNA test. While it is believed the recipient of the test descends from Alexander Crawford and Margaret McElwee, more documentation is needed for this family. Thus, I am working to research these descendants.
Alexander Crawford married Margaret McElwee in Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1788. This marriage places Alexander Crawford in early Kentucky about the same time as my James Crawford line. I am hoping that the BigY DNA test will place this line in the R1b group. If those are the results, then my ‘gift’ to the tester is also a gift to myself since it might help figure out a relationship between our two lines.
I hope you get positive results from the BigY test. Have a Merry Christmas.
