I wanted to say hello. I've been building out my family tree on Ancestry with help from family members who have done research before me. I've found a couple of brick walls and so have turned down the DNA route: I am a particularly big fan of DNA Painter and have been using matches from 23andme, MyHeritage, FTDNA and GEDmatch to build out my Chromosome map. I am particularly interested in learning from any DNA sleuths lurking here that I can bounce ideas off with. Most of my focus currently is in East North Carolina (Kinston, Woodington and Goldsboro) in the mid-19th century.
