Tonight I have taken a few more baby steps into the 'modern' world of blogging..
Whilst researching genealogical DNA testing (thanks to maternal cousin Fay who had this done) I came across The Genetic Genealogist which is an awesome site on explaining genetic genealogy via Technorati, after reading through fascinating articles I found a contest being run where you can win a free DNA test, so me being me had to join up to Technorati and then MyBlogLog to enter.
Sooo, here I am getting back into blogging and learning what to do and how to do it *sigh* talk about confusing, should have just tried one at a time instead of doing both together, but hey I like challenges!
Would be cool to win the competition though, had been thinking of having a test for a while, actually would really rather have my elder uncle on my father's side do the test to try and nail down our dead-end Lucas Scots but I would really like mine done...mmmm... ponders the likely hood.
Well, that's a good start don't ya think?
Researching our Australian family tree with branches tracing back to Cornwall, England, Scotland and Ireland including our convict past. Surnames include, Lucas, Pinkerton, McLauchlan, Paton, Miller, Mundy, Prisk, Melrose, Bray, Hodges, Leahy, Davis, Wilkinson, Schofield, Brown, Cleary and many others. Using 'genetic genealogy' (DNA) to prove the paper trail and move beyond it. (aka Aussie Rhonda's Genealogy).
