Any TWTDs interested in ancestry DNA researching and results?
at 01:38 27 Jul 2025

OK, short story about my reasons for asking as I'm a Dual national British/American due to my father being in the US Air force based in Suffolk 1950s. I Joined and summited samples to all the ancestry sites which gave me info on close cousins on both sides of the pond. Now living in USA, Florida through all the available ancestry sites, I've discovered my American born fathers lineage goes back to mid 1700s Virginia where the revolution (obviously Boston as well} got underway. Confirmed beyond doubt as I now have a certificate to confirm my American ancestor fought against the British!
Where I would like help is to find out names and ranks of the British troops who fought in the conflict to see if I have anyone in my mothers maternal lineage involved.
I'm surprised how easy it's been to discover my American lineage compared to my British....why should that be??

Congrats to Fortuna Dusseldorf

Just watched their late comeback win on ESPN+ away from home in the German cup competition. I had 3 months back in the late 70s, working close to the city and since then always had a soft spot for the team, plus knowing they have fans travelling across to PR each season.

Fingers crossed the Brady bunch can cope with the frozen tundra.
Certainly the battle of the Bays, Tampa Bay over Green Bay.

A Z Alkmaar, Towns EUFA Cup Final 81 Opponents stadium question.
at 21:01 26 Nov 2020

Here in sunny Florida and the choice of 2 live soccer games while enjoying my turkey sandwich. Napoli or AZ Alkmaar, both on hispanic speaking channels. I've gone with AZ home game against R Sociadad. I was lucky enough to be there in Ajax stadium in Amsterdam for the second leg of the EUFA final 1981 but now wondering why it was not played in Alkmaars which looks a very nice, large enough stadium as there was around 25,000 attendance. Did they consider it would be easier for Town fans to travel to Amsterdam come into the decision or stadium size?
