I know a “Hispanic” who found out through DNA that he had ZERO hispanic blood in him. He was primarily European.

MY friend’s ex-wife claimed to be Hispanic, as she was dark skinned from Lima, Peru. Turns out she is European as well without a trace of Hispanic blood in her.

Tell about him!! I love to hear ancestor stories!

A lot of my ancestors were fascinating, but not people I can connect emotionally with. Grandfather, the miner, was willing to blow up the tree of birds that attacked his burros. I can't even read that sentence. Great grandfather was brought to D.C. by Stanton to run the investigation for Lincoln's assassination and put together the Library of Congress files. He was one of the special judge advocates at the trial. But he was a strong, stiff man who spent his life fighting for Judge Holt and General Hancock, and I just can't connect to him either. But 5th great grandfather! That's the one.

By the side of a murmuring stream,
Where willows the margin imbrown;
We'll wander, unheeded, unseen,
Nor envy the taste of the town.

In scenes, where confusion and noise
And riots loud voice is unknown;
We'll humbly participate joys,
That ever from greatness have flown.

Let avarice smile o'er its gain,
Ambition exult at its height,
Dissipation unloose every rein,
In pursuit of forbidden delight.

We'll cling to our cottage, my love,
There a meeting with bliss we ensure.
The Seraphs who carol above
Must smile on enjoyments so pure.

What exactly determines “Hispanic?” Having Native American DNA? If a person’s ancestry is from Spain/does that make them Hispanic?

Yes. Also Night Before Christmas. Henry Livingston. Spent since 1999 researching poetry with two professors. The statistician came out with his book last year. We transcribed the entire bodies of poetry of Henry and Moore into the sounds of words - which track where the tongue moves in the mouth. Mac worked out sets of phonemes that would differentiate the bodies. All the tests show Henry having the same unconscious characteristics as Night Before Christmas, and Moore being outside the set. YES!!!!!!!

Read somewhere and don’t know if it is valid...but what I read was the dna at Ancestry is made available to the FBI, so if you are considering a life of crime, DON’T HAVE YOUR DNA CHECKED.

Wow! What a connection. Why did Moore get credit and not your ancestor?

That was a rumor on Facebook. Do not believe it to be valid, but who knows.

If your ancestry is Viking, chances are that you will have lots of Central Asian Steppe ancestry along with aboriginal Western European hunter gatherers. If you have the raw data from one of those genealogy sites, you could have them analyzed for a more accurate breakdown.

The family story is that a governess was going to work for a Moore family in the south - Henry’s first cousin was married to a connection of Moore’s and lived next door; her daughter had children of the right age in VA - and left a copy of the poem at Clement Moore’s home when she stopped over there on the way south. My guess would be that Moore never thought anyone would learn the poem wasn’t his because he told the kids to not give it to anyone. He wrote Christmas poems every year, but they were nasty moralistic little pieces. This one was bright sunshine. But one of the kids gave it to someone and it was published in Troy. Moore waited years and no one took credit. Henry published extensively, but anonymously, and NEVER took credit for his writing. The year Moore finally published it as his own, he wrote the editor of the paper in which it was published and asked if he knew who wrote it. The editor said I heard you did. Moore published it as his own. But he referred to the writing of it in the subjective. “The poem was written.” NOT “I wrote the poem.” But what he published was not the original publication 1823 version, but the MASSIVELY edited one the editor sent him of a version he’d published 7 years later in 1830. Moore never knew the difference.

I am I1a, Ancestry points to Northern France for me. Family history points to the Norman conquest of the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales in the 12th century as our landing place.

There is also another group with my last name in the UK but they are R1b,

Yes, I have run into that doing research on my family in southern Illinois, not gentry though. I have run into some people I am related to twice because of marriageS between families.

"The majority of my ancestors came here as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. "

My mothers did too.

My ancestors originally settled what today is Hardwick, Massachutts. Before the name was changed to Hardwick, it was named Lambstown Plantation. My Family name is Lamb.

My Relatives in the area.
