About Deep Roots & Twisted Branches
This started as a project to find out who my ancestors were. Every time I would find one I would have to find two more. Then I would have to find their brothers and sisters. Then my wife's family and ancestors and their brothers and sisters. A few friends wanted information, so I added their families. Now I have information on a lot of people and surprisingly most of them are related in some way. The expression six degrees of separation seems to be very accurate. I rarely enter more than six new people without one of them connecting to somebody that is already in the tree. I know that some of the dates are wrong, some were approximated to be able to tell people apart easier. If it is a full date it should be fairly accurate, if only the year it may not be. A lot of the dates were taken from tombstones and they are not always exact. I am sure that if there are corrections needed that people will let me know. I will try to make them within a couple of days of receiving notification. I am looking for pictures of people on the site. Especially older photos. I have gone back to the original name as it seems to be more fitting.
 The spelling of most names is usually the original. Please do not be offended if you think I spelt your name wrong.

After 40 years of research, I have found a lot of information. Some good, some very surprising. When I had my DNA done it became apparent that there was some discrepancies. I spent over a year working on finding the father of Isaac Mintz, only to find out he wasn't my 3x Great Grandfather. My 2x Great Grandfather was adopted. It was always a mystery why I didn't genetically connect with Isaac's other children. Now I know. I have corrected my Database with the revised info. It has now been discovered through DNA that Joseph was probably adopted as well.
As for my Ancestry, I am 85% British, 6% Irish, 6% Scandinavian and 2% Southern European on my father's side. Mothers side British Isles 75% Scandinavia 14% S.E. Europe 10%.
I am a direct descendant of 13 of the 25 Barons that forced Magna Carta on King John and related to 3 more. This was proven by Wiki Tree. No wonder I seem to be related to everybody. With that in mind I spend lots of time working on connections. 6 degrees?
