Armed With the Faith

 The connection between the Knights of Columbus and the Military has existed over a long period of years.  I am proud to say I've been a chaplain for both.  Please check out this video produced by the Knights of Columbus.

I've Been Gone for a While - Genealogy Update

It's been a while since I last posted to my blog.  I had a random thought to share.

One of the things I've been working on is my family tree. I can go back at least as far as all eight sets of my great-great-grandparents. Some lines have gone back even further. 

It's been interesting looking at my DNA. I've had test submitted to three different organizations. They've come up with different backgrounds. I thought I show you a comparison 

Ancestry 

Ireland 56% 

England and Northwestern Europe 30% 

Scotland 12% 

Wales 2% 

My Heritage 

Scandinavian 37.8% 

Irish, Scottish, and Welsh 21.0% 

North and West European 19.5% 

Iberian 17.5% 

English 3.3% 

Central Asian 0.9% 

Family Tree DNA 

England, Wales, and Scotland 54% 

Ireland 35% 

Central Europe 9% 

Baltic >2%

As I look at the variations, it makes me wonder if the My Heritage results are showing results of the Viking invasions of the British Isles and Ireland.  

I hope I remember to hope on here a little more frequently again.
