Batch 147 created

[Stevo]

good morning Teach.

This is supposed to be the week. I must say I'm excited about this snp test.

It's a sunny day here...about 20c...Perfect weather for results.

It's rainy and wet down here to your southwest, but that's okay.

When I get my results I'll want to be inside looking at the computer anyway.

Will the results confirm my suspicion?

That I am a descendant of Slobo the Village Idiot?

I hope I don't offend anyone on this thread by getting off topic, but...
If you haven't settled on genealogy software, take a look at RootsMagic. It feels simple to me like paf, but it did some very nice error checking on my GEDCOM. I haven't really done much with the report writing part of it yet.
Have a good day, and remember -- results are just around the coroner.

Don't tell me you're off topic again!

..actually I should get a gedcom tree program.

Man, I'm beat today!

I think I only slept about 3 hours last night.

I got to watching Braveheart (one of my all time favorite flicks) on the tube and ended up staying up too late, then my mind was racing and I had a hard time going to sleep. To top it off, I woke up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep.

The morning was pretty okay, but now I feel like what the little bird left on the limb.

Meanwhile, no happiness to report on the email or personal page fronts.

Still waiting with the rest of the Class of 147.

I'll do that.

See you tomorrow, another day closer to our target dates.

I'm going to bed early.

Good night!

Wow...

I just received Markers 13-25 of my cousin's Batch 148 37-marker upgrade!

[sitiv1]

just got my y12-25 upgrade; check your pages, batchmates

Just got my results in; let me check what they mean.
Check your pages!

genetic distance of 2 from my other family member at 25

I guess that still leaves us related; I count the distance as being further, so I don't understand something about it; let me check some more.
WhooHoo!

Glad to see the 147 results are starting to roll in.

Come on 148

I can almost see the happy faces out there! It's really good to see results starting to come in - in fact it'll make my own wait easier. Usually I see the Y-DNA Records counter on FTDNA's homepage increase about an hour or so from now so I'll be sure to check at least a few times tonight! or more! I'll holler if I see anything!

So.... was it worth the wait? ( I don't even need to ask )

[JTCullen]

Oh yeah, seeing as no one else seems to be online right now, I'll take first watch. It's almost exactly midnight EST.

Here's a good omen... I got the 400'th post! Finally, I took Stevo's crown for the day!

[JTCullen]

It's almost exactly 1am and 59 new Y-DNA records have just been added to the FTDNA database - but nothing on my homepage yet - and I'm turning in soon. Somebody else's turn to take the helm.

Encouraging Results news.......And congrats on the 400th posting!

actually i was going to take a run at it and post six or so in a row..just to claim it!.

That'd be cheating!..

I made sure I did not take the honor from a 147ite. I accidently did so at the 200 level.

Yeah, but I think I got post #147!

Anyway, no results for this Tennessee-born Virginia boy yet.

It is good to see that some results are coming in for the Class of 147.

But what gives with that early result from Batch 148? It just ain't fair!

Over 400 posts! Wow!
