Using the Internet and genealogy tips, Wally Ely of Scituate has been reunited with a 94-year-old aunt he’d never met and lots of cousins in Michigan. Wally Ely’s discovery started with two faded letters in his late father’s dresser drawer. But the real kicker was a surprise phone call years later. “I think I’m related to you,” a young man said nervously. Ely recalls being “in shock, elated” after the call. It was from a cousin, and the excitement grew as more details emerged and long-lost relatives came together. The reunion was possible because of a combination of luck, persistence, the Internet, genealogy amateurs who shared their tips and helpful librarians and town officials in several states. The trail of discovery began in 1987, when Ely, a Scituate resident, and his wife, Florence, were closing up the house of his late father, who had died at age 76. In a back drawer, they found letters written in the 1930s that held long-sought clues to relatives. Seventeen years later, in 2004, at age 67, Ely finally met his 90-year-old Aunt Mabel, “a sharp and funny woman,” for the first time. In minutes, they were talking like old friends. Come fall, the Elys will travel to East Lansing, Mich., for their fifth reunion with Mabel Steinbacker, 94, and her family. Steinbacker is the only sister Ely’s father, Dan, had. There were five children in the family, but after their mother died in 1917 at age 35, their father, Jesse, split the family up. He took Dan and his older brother …

Skipping all that story stuff as usual, used the arena with almost every1 and didn’t think I should record that since it gets boring. Most of my units couldn’t get past Shark the mercenary. I used Alec to lure Aira because the Awareness skill he has (known as Nihil in Radiant Dawn and PoR) negates Aira’s Meteor/Shooting star sword.

Hi everyone! The other night I just couldn’t sleep. I decided to go online and I read a million articles on genealogy. I really noticed how everyone was raving about how great Legacy 7 was. So, after checking it out some more I downloaded the free version. Honestly – there are so many great features just in the free version. I was pleasantly suprised. For a free software – it is such a great resource. Between the to-do list to keep my scatterbrain organized, the wonderful notes sections, the color and ease of use, and the amazing help it gives when you record sources – Needless to say, I think I’ve found my new program. NOTE: The views expressed in this video are purely my own. I was not paid to talk about how great Legacy was. I am not trying to bash any other program. I am merely saying that it really seems to be a great program. Also – I wanted to let you guys know that I have a brand new blog out: It kind of goes along with these videos but it also includes information on my own genealogy. So please check it out at: elysesgenes.blogspot.com I decided to create this blog because of a suggestion that the wonderful Robert Ragan told me about. If you haven’t heard of Mr. Reagan or his amazing genealogy site Treasure Maps yet, the I highly suggest you check out his website at http As always – I love your comments and ratings. Thanks everyone!

Step 1: mtDNA matching We search the SMGF database with your mtDNA profile to identify all of the individuals who share your haplogroup and have a similar (0-2 differences) HVR mtDNA sequence as you. Sometimes there are too many individuals that match your sequence to display on the DNAvigator map. If you have more than 300 matches we will show only the exact and one-off matches. Likewise, if the number of exact and one-off matches exceeds 300 we only display your exact matches. This way we display the people in the database who are closest to you in relation along your maternal line. Step 2: Historical migrations Because we link genealogical information with the mtDNA signatures in our database we can trace the migrations of each of the lineages back for as long as the genealogical records permit. Once we reach the end of genealogical records for each lineage the ancestral dots will become transparent.

Due to privacy constraints genealogical details are only displayed for individuals born more than 100 years ago. Step 3: Common connections Once genealogical records come to an end, we use genetic clustering methods to merge lineages into common ancestors. Once genealogical records …
