I would like to compare DNA results with two Robertson families that may turn out to be the same family. 
1.  William Robertson that married Abigail Cleveland about 1787 - I believe this is the William Robertson that died in Gallatin county, Ky in 1823.

Our Mother, Dorothy Inez Hoffman Jones, daughter of Cecil L Jones and Inez Mae Scott, was born 29 June 1920 at Little Bear, Platte Co. Wyoming. She left this earth to go home 10 January 2011 at Valley Ford, Sonoma Co., Califonria. 

She bore 4 living children and numerous grandchildren, and even more great and great great grandchildren.

Family spreads all over the west coast and mid west. Her lineage is very early America with a tie to Pocahontas and Thomas Rolfe. We are attempting to verify als

Last week I blogged about how I have been organizing and tagging all my digital photos during frequent 3 hour flights. I received several comments and questions from readers about what to do with those photos once they are tagged and organized into a meaningful architecture.
I find myself once again sitting on an airplane and thought I would take this time to address this issue, which is actually two different issues; how to safely store the images and how to use and share the images, rather tha

I have just received an email from The Sprague Project. These updates used to arrive every month or so, but it is now two years since the last one.

I know the project is still alive and well, not least because of the webmaster, A. Arnold Sprague's, generous contributions to TNG users, but was becoming concerned that perhaps old age is creeping up on Dick Weber.

For those not familiar with the project, the Sprague Database has grown to include nearly 340,000 Sprague family members, The project has

Digital memory is measured in bits and bytes. I am not going to get into a discussion of binary numbers and showing how to calculate in decimal and binary, but to understand computer memory and digital memory of all kinds, it is helpful to recognize the terminology and the relative sizes of the steps between different levels of storage media. Before showing the illustration, there are one or two points that need menti

Back on January 11, 2011 I wrote a post entitled, "Update on the reliability of flashdrives." I am certainly not immune to believing Internet Myths. I am fan of the MythBusters program on TV (which I am too busy to watch) but interestingly some of the myths they set out to disprove actually turn out to be true. But the opposite is very much more likely. Information passed around on the Internet can often be very inaccurate and take on the quality of a myth. Well, due to the efforts of a very kin

I noticed that this thread has been inactive.  Did your application for DAR go through, or are you still working on it?

I spend a lot of time flying back and forth between Houston and Los Angeles to visit my family. The flight is 3 hours and last year I made a commitment to spend that three hour time period working on sorting, identifying and tagging all of my digital photos. By the time we take off, get our complimentary beverages, prepare for the descent, it probably works out to about 2 hours but that time I have totally dedicated to this task. I decided to focus this time on this specific task because I could
