I'd like to say I have Katie's story finished, but I can't. I can say I have a LOT of it done. Still thinking of leaving it as a novella, but then, I could tell more about her life. Especially since I've researched her life right down to the inth degree. Well close anyway.
I feel like I know more about Katie than I do my own mother. Ah, yes, my mother. I do wish she would have been more open about her life. Well, I know she wouldn't tell me everything, as I wouldn't tell my children everything of my younger days.
Now this brings me back to DNA again. Yes that ever present question that lingers in the back of my mind, that works it's way into my every thought most of the time. DNA, the mutations that pass from one generation to the next.
Mutations can be inherited or acquired. When a mutation is inherited from a parent, it is present in almost all of the body's cells. Acquired mutations are changes in the DNA that develop throught a person's life.
Here I go again.....I get so confused
I'm not going to go into all of that biology stuff. I never took biology, chemistry, etc. in school. Wasn't smart enough. I do good to add one and one.
Over the week end a name was added to my DNA match, third cousin, in Ancestry. I do not recognize any name much less trying to figure out how come all the names are in Virginia, Arkansas, and Tennessee. I was born in Minnesota. How far apart is that!
Now third cousins are pretty close. AND if I don't know who my father is, one of those names could be a lead.
BUT, back to Katie. I am working on her story, and will finish it and have it published this year. Katie is dear to my heart. We've become very close throughout the past three years. Wow, I've been working on this story for three years. Enough is enough. YES, it will be finished this year.
And if and when I find the elusive father I will shout it out so everyone will hear!
Until then........................

DNA CLASS AT SAGHS
Monday morning and a review of the week end. I was so busy, quality time with the hubby, Sunday drive on a Saturday, so it's nice to sit down at the computer and get the fingers flying over the keyboard again. So much to get caught up on.
When I first moved back to San Antonio twelve years ago I joined the San Antonio Genealogical Historical Society so I could access their wonderful library. I even donated a few items when I was finished with them.
Through the years I let my membership lapse as the computer became my best friend, namely Ancestry.com. Plus I didn't have to leave my house. And Ancestry does not have a lot of history on their network. I have found though, that the city library, county libraries, and the historical library are still a wonderful resource, plus you have a live person there to assist you. You don't have to pick up a phone and wait until it's your turn to talk, or listen to an automated voice that gives you the run around.
Check out the San Antonio City Library Genealogical Department at www.mysapl.org

Sooo back to the DNA class that was conducted yesterday at the library. Jeremy Balkin from Family Tree DNA gave a wonderful presentation. He was patient with each one of us gray haired ndividuals, and answered their questions right down to the last dot and he even crossed the t's.
I highly recommend anyone that is interested in doing their DNA to go ahead and do it. Even if it's just for fun. Family Tree has several different prices and tests. Their website is www.familytreedna.com
YDNA 37 markers special $129
YDNA 67 markers special $209
mtDNA PLUS $139
mtDNAFMS $209
Family Finder $209
These prices were from the handout Jeremy distributed to the class.
My first DNA test was the mtDNA because I didn't want to spend a lot of money. That was six years ago. Well I got a list of other people that had their's done too.........and the list was quite long. I couldn't make sense of any of it. I was so confused.
So I bit the bullett and upgraded and paid some more money. More people, still couldn't figure it out. Then I was able to go to a class on DNA and the individual who was conducting the class suggested if I really wanted to find out who my father was to take the Family Finder test.
MORE MONEY..... I just couldn't bring myself to pay for another test. My inner being fought back and forth.......I broke. I did the Family Finder test.
Sooo glad I did. I did find fourth cousins, not the ones I'm looking for as they were cousins from my mother's father's line, who I already knew their parents but not the children. I am still seeking anyone from my biological father's side. (whoever that maybe)
I did learn more about the web site and how to read the numbers and such. And I did learn that even though I had a cousin (we think we are fourth cousins) it may not show up on the results. There is a 50% probability that fourth cousin will be a match. A third cousin is a 90% and a second cousin is 99% match. As I said before, Jeremy was very through and explained very well.
Sooooo I'm still working on it. What I'm sayin' is that if you are out there looking for a close match to yours then you need to try to find at least a third cousin. Easier said than done, especially if you do not know who you are looking for. Like a needle in a haystack. But then the investigator in me is working hard to answer the hard question....."Who is he?"
Until then............................................

SEARCHING FOR WAVERLY
I thought I'd add a picture of one of my mother's friends back in the good ole' days, say 1941 and 1942. She was very good at putting dates and names in her picture albums but on this one, I'm puzzled. And I might add I'm having trouble finding out any information. I must say he was a very good looking gentleman. For that time frame I do say he looks every bit of the English gentleman. Let me back up I don't know if he English or not. Almost like a David Niven, wouldn't you say???

THOMAS BARNS/BARNES
Since having my DNA done I have run across more Barnes relatives than I thought I would. I was really looking forward to finding my biological father, which so far, hasn't happened. Of course I will keep searching.
But I have found three fourth cousins and between them, Ancestry.com, and myself I have a pretty good family tree of Thomas Barnes. I hope the following information will help those of you who are also trying to find your ancestors from the Barnes line. Again www.ancestry.com has a lot of information and most of it is actual records. Check it out.
Please as you read through these names and dates if you see any mistakes (yes I make them just like anyone else) please let me know so I can correct them.

From the James Barnes line two of his daughters children (Eliza's daughter, Ida, and Clarissa's son, Charles, married) so I am doubly tied to this tree. Both Eliza and Clarissa are my great, great, grandmothers.
James Barnes left MI and traveled south to Iowa, probably in search of new land. From there the family split up as some of the children got married and stayed in Iowa for awhile. James left Iowa with his daughter Clariss and her new husband Nathaniel Green and headed west to Kansas. They settled there for about fifteen years then some headed to Nebraska.
In my research I have found their families settled in Oregon, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. I still do not know where James and Mary died and where they are buried. I am still searching.
So my readers until then........................
