I am interested in my personal genealogy. My current project is finding my maternal line, hopefully finding connections through DNA matching.
I currently live in Brooklyn, though my family is mostly based in the south.
Featured German connections: Amanda is 26 degrees from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 26 degrees from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 22 degrees from Lucas Cranach, 25 degrees from Stefanie Graf, 24 degrees from Wilhelm Grimm, 25 degrees from Fanny Hensel, 26 degrees from Theodor Heuss, 13 degrees from Alexander Mack, 33 degrees from Carl Miele, 21 degrees from Nathan Rothschild, 23 degrees from Hermann Friedrich Albert von Ihering and 22 degrees from Ferdinand von Zeppelin on our single family tree. Login to see how you relate to 33 million family members.
Apparently we're cousins because we share a common ancestor: Von_Houser-2
16 on their scale of cousinhood
I thought I'd say hi anyway because I don't know how many more Houser's you're related to. Von_Houser-2 is in my father's direct ancestor list being how he's a Houser.
I hope you're still active and I can look at your tree of Housers to see if it is similar to mine...
Hope you're having a good weekend

I have a gap in my ancestry that may be for I Merrill. Is that correct?
I decided to stop meddling for now trying to connect possible ancestors, I've caused quite a stir the the profile managers lives, so I'll sit back for now. I took the DNA test Y12 yrs ago and waited for so long for matches to come and they didn't, so just recently I took a leap and started finding my matches thru my DNA matches comparisons and started connecting but this is not the right way to go, because WikiTree follows birthdates and adds, I want to use my DNA, if I update my testing just how far can I reach into the past for my ancestors, can you tell me? sincerely, Darrel
