I'm helping house sit for a family friend, and she has a cat named Kitty Girl who has thumbs!

She's such a sweet girl. She was originally a stray but now she lives almost full time in their nice garage.

My 2nd great grandparents with their daughter (my Aunt Sissy) on her 16th birthday. 1950.

Aunt Sissy was the best and I loved to hear stories about our family from her! I learned that her parents really were quite the characters!

My results compared to my other maternal great grandmother

My great grandma Lucy loved genealogy, and at some point did an Ancestry DNA test. I found out when my results came back that she did one! She was born and raised in Southern Maryland and her mother had an Irish maiden name.

This is the same person who made a sing about wishing to be a girl (they're AFAB) and lying about having dysohoria to get hormones

My results compared to one of my maternal great grandmothers

My great grandma Emily was born in Ohio. She passed away over 7 years ago but she had uploaded a test before that which I saw when I compared matches! Both of her parents were immigrants. Her father Gyuro (George) was born in Kuzma, Austria (I think it's now Kuzma, Slovenia) and her mother Zsuzsánna (Susanna) was born in Örmező, Austria-Hungary (now Strážske, Slovakia). Interestingly Susanna's mother Maria was born in the region on Galicia in what is now Ukraine.

Both of my maternal great granmothers did an Ancestry DNA test, I'll probably post the other comparison with the other one!
