Now about those updates.

OH.  MY.  GOODNESS.

I can’t believe the amazing genealogy discoveries that have been pouring into my life the last four-ish months or so.  I have so much to write about!  But it’s been like a deluge over here and I don’t want to miss even one bit of the amazing discoveries that have been coming my way.  So here’s a quick recap and some things to look forward to hearing more about:

• Helping an adopted friend, I developed a new (to me anyway) method for analyzing DNA matches.  The good news is that I then applied that method to my John Costello matches and WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! – I have a focus couple that are VERY PROMISING in the figuring-out-who-John’s-parents-are process.  To be clear, they are not his parents, but I think they will get me there.  🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
• A fascinating lead has surfaced in Spain.  Could it be that my John Costello brick wall is about to tumble right down?  I hope so!
• I have made a very precious and important family connection on my John Costello work that will be SOOOOO helpful!
• I started taking a limited number of clients again.  (Am I crazy?  Possibly, I don’t really have time for that but I LOVE it so much I just can’t help myself!)
• I finally put together a class that I have wanted to create for about 3 years.  I taught it last month and LOVED every second of the presentation.
• About a year and a half ago I made an amazing DNA discovery that loosened up a very stubborn brick wall.  Then I was stuck again.  I AM NOT STUCK ANY LONGER!  In the last six days I have added 21 direct-line ancestors to a previously very sad and empty part of my tree.  !!!!!!!!!!  Finally identifying the ancestral village has opened the floodgates.  I CANNOT WAIT to tell this story.  It’s coming soon.  I have SO MANY cousins who are going to be delighted by this incredible set of discoveries.  🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Today happens to be my birthday.  I can’t think of a better gift than the amazing genealogy experiences I have been having.  I am all smiles over here.  And now I’m off to enjoy dinner with my four fellas.  I’m such a lucky girl!

ps – If all the caps and exclamation points felt like shouting, WELL THEY SHOULD!  THESE ARE MIRACLES PEOPLE, MIRACLES!  Genealogy is THE BEST.   ❤️❤️❤️
