Nothing much has happened in the past 2 years. Now I am sitting down during the Covid pandemic, over the Thanksgiving holiday, because, well there is not much else to do. I go into my ancestry account and BAM, they have done a lot to help carry my ancestry back several generations! I also have a 23 and me account, which has put me on notice of 1500+ DNA relatives out there in the world. Where to start? So the first thing I want to relay to you all is that I am now able to trace my matrilineal (from the mothers' side) tree back to my 8th Great Grandmother!!! That's right, great x 8! She was born in Mexico in 1720, and her name is Manuela Mathiana de Orosco Flores. She was born in Bustamante, Nuevo Leon Mexico, and had only 4 children. I am also working back to my 8th Great Grandfather (her husband) Faustino Flores, from the same area. I will start posting information as I get time so I can share it all with you, but in case you want to see the tree itself, you can use this link: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/pt/RSVP.aspx?dat=MTY5MDE5ODc7OzAxNjc5ZjQ2LTAwMDItMDAwMC0wMDAwLTAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDsyMDIwMTEyODE1MTE0ODsx&mac=nol1+oaNhYnnCWAr28qAug== Enjoy!
