Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):
1) Almost all of us have genealogy software that we use to manage our research and our family tree. Some researchers use only an online family tree. What do you use?
2) For this week s SNGF, tell us how many trees (or bushes) you have in your genealogy management program database. How did you figure it out? Also, where do you have online trees?
3) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status post.
For Mother s Day, I thought I would post something about my mother s ancestry, and about my mitochondrial DNA which I received from her.
My mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is K1b2b (per 23andMe), which I received from my mother, and she received it from her mother, and she from her mother, and so on down the line for time immemorial (with mutations every so often, probably).
Here is a favorite photograph of my mother, with her mother, and her mother s mother:
This is the only three generation photograph I have of my mother s matrilineal line.
My (and my brothers ) matrilineal line is:
I can t help it, I can t do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs:
This photograph was taken in late 1943 (Christmas time?) or early 1944. The giggling baby (only 2-3 months old) is your scribe, and that is my father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) lovingly holding me and beaming at me. This is before he joined the U.S. Navy during World War II and served on the U.S.S. Halford as a Mailman 3rd Class.
I think that the setting is on the side of my grandparents home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego. My grandfather, Lyle L. Carringer, probably snapped this as a black and white photo.

Mom has her hair up and is wearing earrings and a dress. It is winter, but it s sunny in San Diego.
