www.familysearch.org   You have to register but it's free.  This site is one of the must-haves for genealogy.  Click on 'search', then US, then NY.  Click on the option for all 86 databases for NY.  Look for the three updated on March 20--NYC births, marriages, deaths.  That's where I have found the goldmine.

About two years ago my paternal uncle tested with Family Tree DNA. I wasn't sure what to expect. A few weeks later I heard from a woman (I'll call her Hayden) from Dublin, Ireland. She and my uncle were a match. I only had one branch (HAYDEN) that traced back to Dublin, so I focused on that. When we initially reviewed our trees we shared no common surnames. Both of us had traced the families to about 1880, so we took a few days to see if we could move back another generation. I had hit a brick wall. Her updates included a little girl names Rosanna Bowes who had passed away at age 3. I was able to obtain a copy of her death certificate from the LDS. I emailed it to Hayden and she immediately replied to let me know that the cemetery was right down the road from where she worked and she'd visit it over lunch. Her reply was AMAZING!!! Rosanna was buried in a family plot which included my HAYDENS and her BOWES!!! Our ancestors were brother and sister! This is one example of how DNA tests aren't necessarily a "silver bullet" but they can certainly provide a jumping off point which leads to success!!! Debbie Virginia USA

David I don't check lists often but I saw you posted a link to a dictionary that said what you said what not a curse. Obviously you did not read the ENTIRE definition... READ # 6 & 7 goddamn [god-dam] Informal: Sometimes Offensive. - Word Origin interjection 1. (used as an exclamation of any strong feeling, especially of disgust or irritation, and often followed by it.) noun 2. the utterance of “goddamn” in swearing or for emphasis. 3. something of negligible value; damn: not to give a good goddamn. adjective 4. damned <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/damned> (def 2). adverb 5. damned <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/damned>. verb (used with object) 6. to curse (someone or something) as being contemptible or worthless; damn. verb (used without object) 7. to use the word “goddamn”; swear. Perhaps you are accustomed to yahoo boards where "anything goes" But by any definition what you said was rude, inflammatory and uncalled for. People on rootsweb lists don't carry on like you and your buddy do... We TRY to be polite even when we disagree we word responses so they are not rude and inflammatory.

I almost left out my BIGGEST success. Get the tissues ready ladies :-) I was able to find my adopted husbands birth sister through ancestry.com message boards. It took 10 years to get a response to the message I had posted asking for info about his mother (his adoption papers had his birth mothers name on it luckily--we have not been so luck with his birth father I am afraid as THAT name appeared to be false) Anyway 10 years after posting the message board a lady responded with "that is my mother what do you want to know?" We took our conversation private of course, and she told me she had been looking for him for 20 years, BUT she had been looking under his birth name so naturally show would not have found him that way. We had private DNA testing done because ancestry DNA was not good enough to find out what we needed to--while we were 99% sure we had indeed found his birth sister, we wanted to be 100% sure. 6 months later I surprised my hubby for Christmas and flew his new found sister down to meet him. IT was amazing how many ways they were alike--and she told us of all the years his mother regretted putting him up for adoption btu the sister was very ill and she could not afford to keep him. He found out that every year around his birth date she became depressed and every Christmas also (adoption was finalized 2 weeks before X-mas) so he was finally able to shake off all the anger he felt and he realized that his mother TRULY loved him and did not want to give him up for adoption but had no choice. This resolved MANY issues that had tormented him his entire life so THIS IS my GREATEST success story...

Seems like we need to change up the tone around here - let's have a feel-good thread where we share our latest genealogical break-throughs and successes! (Because we all know the "normal" people in our lives don't appreciate them the way we do!) I'll go first (though it's just a minor success): I posted recently, quite aggravated, about not being able to get my 2x great-grandmother's death certificate from the DOH. But, following up on advice I got here, I found out last night that her brother died in the 1930s, so I should hopefully be able to get his DC from the Municipal Archives with much less headache. I'm still following up with the DOH, but am glad to have another avenue to their parents' names in the meantime! Remember, genealogy is supposed to be fun! Anyone else gotten some gene-joy lately?
