STEVENMORSE ORG - LINKS TO ONE STEP MINING OF DATABASES

I've heard Stephen (the correct spelling of his first name - but it's Steven on the website) speak a couple times and his enthusiasm is contagious!  If you find frustration using another database, such as Ellis Island, using his utility may help you get to MISSING PAGES, and ALSO THE FIRST and SECOND CLASS PASSENGERS!

WE (ALMOST) ALL GOT HERE ONE WAY: ANCIENT HUMANS MATED WITH OTHER BREEDS OF HUMANS

NATURE : MYSTERY HUMANS SPICED UP ANCIENTS SEX LIVES

"All modern humans whose ancestry originates outside of Africa owe about 2% of their genome to Neanderthals. Certain populations living in Oceania, such as Papua New Guineans and Australian Aboriginals, share about 4% of their DNA with Denisovans, members of a group named after a cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia, Russia, where they were discovered. The cave contains remains deposited between 30,000 and 50,000 years ago."

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THERE IS SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT THERE WERE DIFFERENT BREEDS (my word) OF HUMAN ANCESTORS LIVING AT THE SAME TIME AND THAT THEY INTERBRED.

I'm thinking of my dog when I use this word.  I think it may be useful to image, since we all know that sometimes a maltese and a poodle, and other dogs that are not similar in look or size, do breed, or are bred.  In this case, some lonely Neanderthals found the Denisovans all right!

So if you think you have an uncle who is more than 4% Neanderthal...

DNA GENEALOGY BRINGS US TO THE SCIENCE OF DNA

DNA GENEALOGY is so fascinating.  It seems that every day the scientists are able to lead us to our genetic and ethnic heritage, though I've met more than one person who was surprised.  If we're going to trust that science, we're probably going to want to know more about it, and what information about HUMANITY AS A WHOLE IS BEING REVEALED.

IBTIMES : OLDEST DNA 400,000 YEARS OLD


"The bone, found in a cave in northern Spain known as the “Pit of Bones,” is the oldest human mitochondrial material ever sequenced. But rather than reveling in their discovery, scientists are getting frustrated.....

Svante Paabo, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Antrhopolgy in Leipzig, Germany, added that the results “show that we can now study DNA from human ancestors that are hundreds of thousands of years old," adding that the discovery was “tremendously exciting."

The reason scientists are flustered? Researchers were expecting to uncover DNA from a Neanderthal, which once inhabited Europe and parts of Asia. But the DNA actually turned out to be very similar to a different kind of prehistoric people, the Denisovans, who lived thousands of miles away in what is now Siberia. First discovered in 2010, the Denisovans were a genetically distinct group of people who are known only by a pinkie bone and a tooth..."

RESEARCH YOUR FAMILY, HONE YOUR SELF KNOWLEDGE, HAVE A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE! ANCESTRY WORSHIP - A GENEALOGY

Welcome to Ancestry Worship - genealogy, a Google Blogger! 

As you may notice if you begin to read past posts, and go into my archive, I'm a serious and experienced genealogist and family history researcher and writer.  I love to help others break through blocks, and believe in proofing your research, holding to professional standards.

My interest in genealogy and family history includes a broad range of related interests such as history and cultural studies, anthropology, archeology, and the science of DNA.  Spiritually, I am intrigued by past life regression (hypnosis) and reincarnation. Is it possible that our souls come to this earth many times in search of experiences that will move us to divinity?

I find genealogy is sometimes a spiritual quest.  You may ask, How So?

I'm not a member of the Latter Day Saints though I do know that they believe our ancestors can help us with our genealogy research and I try to respect their beliefs which are centered around family life and healthy living. 

One of the goals of research for members of the Latter Day Saints, a religion that originated in the 19th century, is to Baptise the Dead.  In this temple ceremony or ordinance, live members of the Church welcome those who have gone before the opportunity to be Baptised in their faith so that they can be unified as a family in the After Life.

I do believe we may be reunited with others in the After Life!  But then maybe some of them have reincarnated or have moved on spiritually.

Though I do not pray for help from Divinity or Ancestors in advance of my research, I've experienced some compelling synchronicities leading me to information and the right people.  I've even felt at times that I was being guided or watched.  I've even had dreams that helped me move in the right direction.

Those who are regressed through hypnosis for a myriad of reasons, including curing illness of the body or mind, sometimes find themselves going back in mind or memory to another life where the problem began. These days children seem to be remembering their past lives well enough to be taken seriously by their parents;  truly fascinating!  (I have a couple new books on order right now and hope to report into you!) 

Another aspect of genealogy research for the individual who is researching their own family is that when you better understand your ancestors you may just come to understand your own life and yourself better.  This is especially the case when the family has been broken, perhaps not for any other reason that immigration. Some of us have never even seen a photo of someone who is part of our genetic lineage and who looks like us!

Over the next few posts, I'll be linking to sites about DNA.  DNA is revealing so much to us and so much more quickly than even the scientists anticipated.  Those who have a problem with evolution or DNA science are simply not compatible with my point of view.  They are welcome to keep their beliefs, as am I.  Simply, I see no conflict with the notion of a Creator God or the notion of Creation and evolution. I know that conscious life is amazing and that the universe is intelligent.

HEY THANKS FOR READING ALL THIS!  Now let's go forward!

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? FOUR CHILDREN BORN SAME DAY - DIFFERENT YEARS

YAHOO - BRITISH FAMILY HAS FOUR CHILDREN BORN SAME DAY - DIFFERENT YEARS

"Sam was two weeks late, the twins one month early and Ryan three days late," Scrugham said.

The family celebrated their older children's birthdays this year with two cakes, one for Sam and one for the twins, and say they plan to continue to celebrate their kids' coincidental birthdays both "individually and together."

ARISTOCRACY AND ROYALTY - A COUPLE INTERESTING LINKS! - ROYAL COORESPONDENT and ROYAL MUSINGS

Seems to me I've met several people now who say their line goes to ROBERT THE BRUCE of SCOTLAND, but I'm not sure their research proves this.  By now  Robert must have many thousands of descendants though. 

Hey, I'm like you.  I may or may not be related to some aristocrats or extinguished royal personages, but I'm interested in those who do and are alive today.  What do they look like?  Are they still rich?  Do they all know each other?  Will any of them in line for lost power get it back?  Are they all marrying commoners?

Over the holidays I found some notes to myself about a couple sites that I've enjoyed reading.  I'm posting the links here and on my side bar!

They are ROYAL CORRESPONDENT

and ROYAL MUSINGS

Both impress me!  Check them out!

2014 AT ANCESTRY WORSHIP - GENEALOGY

Hello!

I'm back though not feeling up to speed yet. 

The holidays and the weekends over the last few weeks were lazy for me.

I went to the library today and it was packed with people who are probably off to a good start with their New Years Resolutions!

A little time off allows us to come back to our projects refreshed and maybe with some fresh ideas on how to tackle some issues. 

Ah, how we genealogists hone the patience of a guru!

Me, I'm writing this blog when I have the time, energy, and inspiration, and mostly for fun!

I hope you'll join me as I continue to explore!
