I loved all the shows & yes I have belonged to Ancestry.com for quite a few years. Since I had 2 roadblocks one on my fathers side & one on my husband’s side I had my brother (father had died in 81) & my husband both do paternal dna tests & found that the surnames were different. Now I’m on a quest to find the common ancestors on both these lines.
Cool! It’s amazing what DNA can do. I’m starting to hit roadblocks, too. I’ve learned that the British authorities in Ireland forbade the Catholic Church to keep records from approximately 1700 to around 1820, so it gets pretty difficult.
