MyHeritage - A New Venture for Me

On a lark, I decided to upload the GEDcom file I use for DNA matches to MyHeritage and just see where it lead me.  The file was an abbreviated version of my main database with just main line ancestors back about six generations.

This has been in place now for a few months.   Updates keep flying in from MyHeritage.   As of yesterday, I pulled down and printed off my Genealogy Report.   This installment is 215 pages in length.    The table of contents for the report is as follows:

1. PATERNAL ANCESTRY
2. MATERNAL ANCESTRY
3. DESCENDANTS
4. DIRECT RELATIONS
5. INDIRECT RELATIONS via CATHERINE ELIZABETH WEAVER [DEAVER]
6. INDIRECT RELATIONS via MARY E WEAVER [WOOD]
7. INDIRECT RELATIONS via CHRISTOPHER EVERETT DRAKE
8. INDIRECT RELATIONS via HANNAH JENKS OR JENCKS [BOSWORTH]
9. FAMILY TREES
10. NOTES
11. SOURCES
12. INDEX OF PLACES
13. INDEX OF DATES
14. INDEX OF INDIVIDUALS

All in all, a rather impressive presentation!   In the following entries, I want to take the time to explore the report and its elements.     As far as the mind boggle point of view, page 82, the last of the section on DIRECT RELATIONS, notes Generation of Twenty-one-Times-Great-Grandparents !!  Although the birth dates for none of the four reported grandparents appear, birth dates for their children (my 20 Times Great Grandparents) are reported:

• John Baldwin - 1250
• Ann Baldwin [L'Enfant] - 1260
• Abigail Savage [Stanton] Shropshire - 1263

Back to the mid 1200s! 

Next stop --  looking to see from where is the lineage proof source derived.

Stay tuned.

(BTW -- received another update from MyHeritage this AM with more confirmations)
