Biography

Hello! About half of my ancestry is primarily English, going back to Colonial America, before the Revolutionary War. A quarter of my ancestry is Puerto Rican, and the remaining quarter is made up of more recent immigrants from Southern Germany, Scotland, and Ireland. Within my colonial ancestry, I have at least two Dutch lines (Daharsh and Meeker), a handful of Irish lines, a few Scottish, a few Northern German, and a couple of distant Welsh lines.

Random facts!

My surname was originally spelled Burkhardt and is German. The 'd' was dropped by my great grandfather during World War I, when German ancestry became unpopular.

Everyone with the name Belaski from Hawaii is probably related to me. Belaski is a mistranslation of the name Velazquez based on the way it is pronounced in Puerto Rican Spanish.

I am directly descended from...

  • Three Civil War veterans--two Union infantrymen (one killed in action at the Battle of Shiloh) and one Confederate cavalryman
  • Mary Bradbury, who was convicted of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials
  • Juan Ponce de León, Spanish conquistador and explorer

Hi Chelsie!

I’m Karen, the leader of the Puerto Rican Roots Project. We are contacting all existing members of the project to find out how you would like to be involved moving forward. I'd love to hear what excites you about researching folks connected to Puerto Rico, and how the revitalization of the project might inspire you in 2018. Have a look at the Puerto Rican Roots Project page, and let me know what you’d like to do or if you have any questions. We can list your interests, help you join the Google Groups forum for Puerto Rico, and give you any help you might need. If we don’t hear back from you we’ll assume you no longer want to be a part of the Puerto Rican Roots Project at this time.

Many thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.

Karen :-)

Hi Chelsie! Just wanted to check in and make sure you had the link to your source-a-thon team's thread. Here we are: Team Tennessee Thread. To get started, all you need to do is post an *answer* (not comment) to the original post, and then keep a running numbered list of the profiles you are sourcing. You can edit that same comment again and again, adding to it each time. If you need help, check out our tutorial here, which has screen shots and step-by-step instructions.

Have fun, and let me know if you need any help. As your team Captain, I'm here for whatever you need! Hope to see you posting soon! Have a great day! - Summer

Chelsea, I looked at Gedmatch and verified that you are a close match with my dad (Roberto Ocasio Cruz), but with higher numbers than you mentioned! What's interesting is that you are also related to my wife (Marybel Ocasio) and her brother (Tommy Ramirez). Their ancestors almost exclusively came from Moca, going back a few centuries on all branches. What's also interesting is that I am somehow related to her as well, through my mom and my dad. Hey, you're also related to my mom (Maria Ocasio [Rivera Rodriguez]). This might take a while! :)

I found information about the church in Moca. This information is from an old post on Ancestry over 10 years ago. I'm not sure which churches still allow requests for lookups and which don't anymore, but keep that in mind when you contact them:

"If you can establish a relationship with the Church Secretary, you may be able to obtain more recent information over the phone. Most parishes close between 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. for lunch. So, you should call between 8:00 and 12:00 and 2:00 pm. to 5:00. Nuestra Señora de Monserrate can even be reached by fax. Each copy of the baptismal or marriage certificates cost approx. bet. $3.00 to 5.00 depending on the parish.

Moca Parroquia Nuestra Sra. De Monserrate 1772 Apartado 148 Moca, P. R. 00716 (787) 877-2765 (787) 877-7795 fax"

Chelsie, I think if DNA relationships are very close, then sometimes two autosomal tests are enough. For example, the maternal grandmothers of my second cousin Karl and I were sisters. Karl and I share an appropriate amount of autosomal DNA for second cousins (141 cM across 9 segments) and have the same mtDNA haplogroup. So I've confirmed both of our relationships with our mothers and grandmothers, but not our great-grandmother.

My brother and I are clearly full siblings at 2,635.8 cM, and his y-DNA is confirmed with a fourth cousin Charles Lowe, so I've confirmed my relationship with my father. I haven't confirmed with my mother's father or father's mother since I don't have tests for any close relatives there.

Chelsie, Kitty Smith noted that we have a great page on DNA Confirmation and when to use the "confirmed with DNA" setting.

It's so great that you've tested and are willing to share your GEDmatch info! Have you invited any of your close matches to view your tree here? There's a handy email template at this page for pointing folks to your tree here.

Chelsie, I noticed that you've marked the connection to many of your ancestors as "confirmed with DNA," but I don't see any source citations showing how the relationship has been confirmed.

We use the "confirmed with DNA" option when a person's descent from an ancestor is confirmed by two or more y-DNA or mtDNA tests or three or more autosomal DNA tests sharing a common segment on a specific chromosome with each other. See this page on the DNA project for the templates we use to show our proof of lineage with y-DNA and mtDNA.

If you are the only descendant of these ancestors who's tested, please remove the "confirmed with DNA" setting as your test will automatically appear on their profiles.

Thanks!

- Karen
