I've been researching my genealogy for more than 20 years but I refuse to do the DNA test.

I would like to get into it more. Actually through 23 and Me became acquainted with a 4th cousin from Sudbury, ON who had hit a snag with some of his work. He accounted for 7 of 8 siblings, 4 of them moved to Michigan before the thumb fire of 1881, and one stayed while the rest moved back to Canada. That was my branch. So we helped each other a lot, he got me back to Daniel O'Dwyer leaving county Clare for Canada in the early 1830's.

That's awesome. I've been able to meet several distant cousins over the years, mostly on the ancestry.com message boards.

The first world war rendered my dad's father's family tree a stump, the brother who came to America was the only one to have a son that lived through.

Mom's is fascinating, northern maine so lots of border crossings and scattered names, she is solid through the civil war on both sides, and pretty good on one to Liverpool in the 1640's, but ran into a situation with 6 guys with the same name, 2 of each had wives with matching names. Maine was an interesting place back then.

Have hit lots of DNA matches from New Brunswick but haven't been able to get in contact with any of them.
 
When Orange Crush was made with cane sugar, it had a better looking bottle as well.

I have a solution to the bathroom issue. One bathroom is nothing but stalls, the other has the stalls plus a trough urinal like the ones at Neyland. The signs on the door can say stand to pee/sit to pee. Problem solved.

This hat better be delivered by George Strait for those express shipping costs.

Once, I penned a country waltz with George Strait in mind... Never did get a chance to pitch it to him.
