You’ve come a long way since we corresponded and you included how my wife and I met through genealogy. Great works! I recently had my DNA work and was surprised to see how many of the Neanderthal numbers I had (just 30 short of all of them from what I read). Now I joke with my wife that when she (the red headed Texan) gets mad at me for something, I just blame it on my caveman genes. LOL
We certainly have history, eh? Lovely to hear from you and delighted to hear of your latest (genetic) adventures!
