DNA Matches



  Something about me - I have a nerdy side. I love to study DNA and collect samples from family and friends to compare and track. It is so interesting, what you can find.

  Good things CAN happen with DNA matches. In the last week, I’ve sent off a bunch of messages to DNA matches, and I’ve already had a reply! 🧬 😁🧬 We get frustrated that some people just aren’t interested in family trees when they test and don’t reply, but have faith! #Genealogy


I also found some DNA matches that connect to Scotland 
  So, I've been on-line doing a little bit of research and thought I would share this. 

Canada has the highest level of Scottish descendants per capita in the world and the second-largest population of Scottish descendants, after the United States.

Hundreds of thousands of Scots have been emigrating to Canada since the late 18th century, seeking opportunities across the Atlantic. The first waves of Scottish settlement were in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, but as more and more land opened up, Scots set down roots in Ontario and the west.  The name Nova Scotia literally means "New Scotland" in Latin, and its flag was designed as a combination of the Scottish Saltire and the Royal Arms of Scotland.

Gaelic-speaking immigrants from both Scotland and Ireland came by the tens of thousands and made Nova Scotia their home. These settlers called themselves Gàidheil - ones who speak Gaelic and share Gaelic culture.

Canadians self-reported their ethnic and cultural origins as English (14.7 percent), Scottish (12.1 percent), and Irish (12.1 percent).

I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket? Fidget blankets are therapeutic small lap quilts to which different kinds of things are sewn or added on. These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom.
