Happy 3rd Blogoversary to Me!
Happy 3rd Blogversary to me. My how time flies and I can't believe it has been three years since I began this genealogy blog, Find Your Folks. My third anniversary was actually yesterday, but I got so busy that I forgot to post. Last year, I did not remember my blog anniversary until several weeks later.
Well, here to three years of bliss and fun. May I have many many more years of blogging.
BTW, thanks to all of my readers and to the numerous people I've met online during these three years of blogging.

My Maternal Ancestry
Graphic was designed using the SmartGraphics feature of PowerPoint 2007.During this Women's History month, I celebrate my maternal ancestors, known and unknown. My direct maternal line has been traced back to my slave ancestor Ella Scott Jeffress who was born in Virginia around 1842.
Maternal DNA
My three sisters and I inherited the DNA from our mother and her maternal ancestors. This DNA inherited from our direct maternal line falls in the X haplogroup and matches the DNA of present day Africans in two countries: the Beafadu people of Guinea-Bissau and the Temne people of Sierra Leone.
Dorothy, our mother
Emma, our grandmother
Bell, our great-grandmother
Luvenia, our great-great-grandmother
Ella (Elinor), our great-greaat-great-grandmother
