If you are using a pc go to start/all programs/accessories/System tools/Character map and you'll find pretty much every character there is for several languages. Some of these I have no idea what they might be like what are these? ᾦ, Ὢ, ∫ or ₹ I have no clue. But I do get to use all the good ones li...

Hi Steven, Welcome to the forum! "Am I Asturian?" Not entirely in jest, Spaniards (and Asturians with them) moved far and wide, so it is quite conceivable that you and folks all over Europe do indeed have Asturian ancestry. Take a look at the territory the House of Habsburg http://en.wikip...

The tests are not designed to show a relationship of any kind with anybody, they don't even show a relationship between a father and a son, they do not provide the genealogical equivalent of a paternity test. To begin with, if you are indeed related to your father, you would both obviously share th...

Hi Celtica, It appears to me that you intend to use “geneatology” (as one writer liked to refer to this) as the basis or main focus of your genealogy investigations. If that is the case let me save you a lot of time by telling you now you can't do that. You can use the markers in YDNA to aid in your...

Como dice Carlos, para encontrar miembros de tu familia primero tienes que establecer que existe una relacion con otras personas con las que compartes el apellido. Es posible que dos o mas familias que no estan relacionades en forma alguna tengan el mismo apellido. Si ya hiciste la genealogia que te...

You are right, if it was serious. I saw it as a joke and that's why I posted it under Humor. The racist part did get lost on me though, I did not see that. It is possible that, that is simply cultural. I don't follow why the video would it validate any of Chavez's claims... -------- Tienes razon, si...
