I found out that if it was aluminum, it would have weighed a lot less. So, I'm thinking it was just a thinner sheet of copper that they accidently used. Maybe?

Hard to believe. But it's almost here! 🎅🎅🎄🎄

It's getting cold here, in Alabama. But no snow yet. Won't be long till 2025. This year has really flown by. Happy Thanksgiving!

I never did get it checked out. It would be my luck that it's only worth a penny. Maybe, one day I will find where I put it, and can find some kind of expert to look at it. But where I live, there aren't any real experts on this kind of stuff. Thank you for your nice comments. That was so sweet of you to say.

I have contacted AncestryDNA. And everything I have said falls on deaf ears. I, also, have noticed, lately, that they have taken away some features that they had, and have now re-packaged it, and are claiming to offer "more insightful features" for their subscription service (currently $29.99 a month for 6 months). Which is a rip-off, if you ask me. Especially with this economy. Now, if a person actually gets a deeper ethnicity report with this subscription report, I would like to hear from that someone with the means and desire to purchase it and (if they provide me with their youtube link) see their video comparing what they got with regular service (just buying the kit and creating an account) and what the $29.99 gives them. But I, personally, can't afford to pay that each month. I know that much.

@@odetomy They constantly prove that they love money and will do everything the can to get it. Unsatisfied customers should let them know so that they can fix the problem. Choosing not to fix problems is their wrong choice, but you have done your part. I haven't tested with Ancestry because I didn't want to work with them as a company. I let my closed wallet communicate my opinion.

You wrote it as if genomelink gave you one result. Could you tell me which report you purchased? Maybe you misunderstood what Chromosomes mean? Please remember that not all websites are as user-friendly as others because some focus more on information than simplicity.

@@AlxzAlec I only got one result from Ginoomelink obviously .

@@abdomahfouad4699 Yes but I know exactly what the difference is between the free report and the one you purchased. With the results you claim that you got, you'd have to have purchased a report. Tell me which report you purchased?

@@AlxzAlec I paid for the service so what !

@@abdomahfouad4699 Do you speak english? Then you should be able to answer my question. Genomelink answers with CHROMOSOMES in many of their reports. You wrote full percentage answers from genomelink without any reference to chromosomes. I am asking you which REPORT you bought. You didn't just "Pay for the service" Genomelink doesn't have 1 service to pay for, they have reports. You are either a liar otherwise you just have a terrible understanding of how it works.

This is so normal. Most of the common ancestors of southern Europeans were Neolithic Anatolian farmers. These are early European farmers. In later times, it was synthesized with the ancient shepherd Yamnaya culture. For this reason, it is very normal for it to show West Asia. Modern Turkey, Greece, Italy, southern France and Spain share the same ancient origin and DNA sequence.

@@MrGloriousPen1True, but a lot of people see it and have 0% clue about history and will just claim it’s a scam

Actually, Ancestry and 23andme barley go back 150 years. My DNA report doesn't reflect much of the DNA I received from my 4th and 5th great grandparents. And, on average, that covers about 150 years of a family tree. Your 6th cousin is about the farthest out they will show you of your kinship matches. But... If I have any 6th cousins who don't share, at least, a full 8th centimorgan strip of DNA with me, that cousin won't be listed as my cousin on Ancestry.com. Same thing with 23andMe. This is very sad. Those companies need to do better.

Ancestry and 23 & Me have gone back more than 500 years for me but that's because you have to have the information to connect to other people's info. Family Search is also a good website.

@@fredoconn I've done a lot of family research and I can tell you that it's barely 150 years for me. Think about it. They refuse to connect anyone up to each other past the 5th great grandparent on their Thru Lines feature. It's because they aren't telling you the truth past that time frame. If you are mostly a homogenous heritage (where most of your ancestors only came from a certain region), or if there were mostly very recent changes in ethnicity groups in your family tree, then you would certainly believe they are going 500 or more years in your history. Because there's not much change in your family tree that you know of past a certain point, except for the more modern stuff. However, if there has been a LOT of different changes in ethnicity groups that happened prior to your 4th or 5th great grandparent, you are kind of out of luck on Ancestry and 23andMe. They are refusing to unlock the Thru Lines feature past the 5th great grandparent because they don't want to go back further in time than that. Yet, they want to fool lots of people into thinking that they are going as far back as 1,000 years. That is a LIE. Otherwise, all this stuff that is showing up on these other DNA sites (that actually DO DIG DEEPER) that I have taken DNA test through and with all the information I have found in my family tree would be lining up on Ancestry and 23andMe. But it's not. One has to ask WHY. If a company doesn't look at DNA strips smaller than 8 cM long in size, they are omitting your past. Because those smaller pieces are your ancient ancestors. Get it? The bigger the strips, the more homogenous the pieces are and the more recent the ancestry. Because if you have most of your ancestry be one ethnicity group passed down for years in a particular side of your family, it's going to stick together in longer strands like glue. The smaller the strips, the more changes that happened in ethnicity groups and the more ancient the ancestry is. Especially when dealing with lots of changes in ethnicity groups. I've had a whole lot of changes in ethnicity groups in my family tree that has happened over a 1,000 years, or even 500 years. As you can see from this video.

Yes!

I’m still just now figuring out how to interpret these results but they seem mostly accurate forsure given my ancestry. For example, 23 and me just labels me Ashkenazi Jew from my fathers side. However, they don’t break down the typical admixture of that. Ashkenazi Jews r said to be men from the Levant (Israel Middle East) taken to Italy as slaves and bred with Italian women. When they moved to further north in Europe including eastern and western, they ended up staying within their own communities and not breeding outside of them a whole lot although there is often a little admixture. After doing my heritage I was very satisfied and then doing gedmatch tools and genomelink it all seemed to break it down that I have about a quarter of that Ashkenazi side to be middle eastern, about a quarter to Eastern European but is as broken down into south Slavic with genomelink which honestly seems incredible accurate. I can see it on my great grandfathers face and where he settled it adds up. And then the other half is Mediterranean of mostly southern Italian and Iberian. Most Ashkenazi have Italian and often a little green due to Greeks traveling and breeding there but it’s always a mix. Some Ashkenazis have far more middle eastern than Mediterranean or more equal amount and u can see it on ur face. This is my perception so far but I’m still learning alot
