About Me

My photo
Just to tell you a little about myself, my name is Vickie and I was born and raised in Kentucky. The majority of my ancestors have been in Kentucky since the 1790’s. I have always loved history, a good mystery and puzzles and that is what Family History Research is all about. As a child we would take day trips on Saturdays and head down some dirt road looking for old cemeteries. A lot of the time we weren't looking for anyone in particular, we just like to read the epitaphs. We would have a picnic lunch packed and have lunch at whatever cemetery we were at. If the weather was bad my Dad and I would go to a courthouse and dig through old records in musty old basements looking for our ancestors. So as you can see I have had an interest in Family History for quite some time.

My DNA Ethnicity Estimates

I did what is called an Autosomal DNA test from Ancestry.com which is a genealogical DNA test, which gives you matches with genetic cousins and also gives you ethnicity percentages.  You can Google, Autosomal DNA, to read more about how it works and what all it covers.  The following chart are my newest updates as of September 2021.

    Wow, we are almost an ethnicity perfect match! Maybe it's the area of the country our folks come from...it's so interesting! Your blog is very interesting. I am enjoying your stories!

      Thanks so much, appreciate your comments. I have Humphreys in Western Kentucky where were yours from?

    Have you had any male Beards have their y-DNA tested to determine which haplogroup they belonged to? I know there are some R1a and R1b Beards. The more of these that get tested, the more we can trace our lineages together and possibly before immigration to the new world.

      Yes my Dad did the test in 2004 before he passed away but he only did the Y12 at that time. His haplogroup is I-M253.

      Anything just let me know.

      Vickie, thanks for replying. You are the first "I" haplogroup I've met with the Beard name. Thanks for sharing. BTW, if ever you wanted to upgrade your kit, and I'm not saying you need to, but if you are curious, if you went through familytreedna, I think they keep his sample and can run a higher level test via an upgrade (but it does cost $100+). I only had the 37 done myself.

      You are welcome, and I have thought about doing that just haven't gotten around to it yet and yes we did go through familytreedna.
