She would also be the earliest on my mitochondria line (I never did a test; all paper). Through her marriage record, I found her name was Krystyna Podbielska and she was born about 1750 in Cieciorkach Dąb, parafia Zambrów, Poland. I probably also have her parents' names but I need to prove it by getting the marriage record off microfilm. Keeping my fingers crossed as it's hard to get back farther than that time in Polish records. I wish my grandmother was here to see my HAPPY DANCE !

I also found the names of both her paternal and maternal grandparents! <br /><br />You can only imagine the squeals and the screams transmitted through the dark of night in the gentle breeze. <br /><br />So, to make a long story & processes short ...<br />My DNA of 92% European (German) of which I was thinking the results would come back with Irish...me assuming the surname of DELL was Irish...DNA combine with doing genealogy research paper trail equals a HUGE find! <br /><br />Without going into the details, just let me say one more piece of advice that I received (which the originator of the phrase being Thomas W. Jones was whispering in my ear last Sunday night):<br />》》》Do not have source snobbery when doing genealogy!!!<br />And do your DNA, even if only to discover your ethnicity, as was my goal.<br /><br />Had I been snobbery and not clicked on the ONE source late that night, I would've NOT found my mom's biological family! <br /><br />Happy Hunting (ahem, Dancing),<br />;o) Valerie Eichler Lair <br />Val's Roots Professional Genealogy Services Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872361234928149080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-90525576425834400032016-07-03T08:21:44.929-04:002016-07-03T08:21:44.929-04:00Cheri, I've been waiting impatiently since Thu...Cheri, I've been waiting impatiently since Thursday for your weekly post! The reason I'm doing the genealogy happy dance won't be revealed until Monday July 11. Two new discoveries meant I had to write another post which will be squeezed in between tomorrow's planned post and the one which was to follow. A 3 part series is now 4 parts. Don't mind the new discoveries but I hope this doesn't become a never ending story. ~ CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
