My Patrilineal Name Scott Changed From Daigre

  Going through Census Records, I found out that my patrilineal surname Scott was changed from Daigre. My ancestors changed their last name between 1900 and 1910 after they relocated to Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish.  Great Grandpa Ivory Scott had put down Assumption Parish as his birthplace on both his World War 1 and World War 2 draft registration cards.  Learning about Ivory Scott being the father of my paternal grandfather Nolan Scott https://diversegenes.blogspot.com/2023/02/learning-about-my-scott-family-of.html Great Grandpa Ivory Scott's father was William Daigre who was born in 1865 in Louisiana.

Exploring connection between Great Grandpa Ivory and Harry Ordogne

  I have been exploring the connection between my paternal grandfather Nolan Scott's father Ivory Scott and Harry Ordogne. Great Grandpa Ivory listed Harry Ordoyne (Ordogne) as the person who will knows his address on his World War 2 Draft Registration card.  His address at the time was 1318 St. Charles St in Thibodaux, Louisiana. 1940 Census shows the Scott family without Great Grandpa Ivory were living at 517 East Twelfth Street in Thibodaux, Louisiana.    Considering this Census Record and World War 2 Draft Registration Card, Great Grandpa Ivory and his wife Dicey were clearly going through a separation. 1950 Census shows Great Grandpa Ivory living with his family at the same address 1318 St. Charles St in Thibodaux, Louisiana listed on his World War 2 Draft Registration Card. 1940 Census shows Harry Ordogne living at 1307 St. Charles Street in Thibodeaux, Lafourche Parish.    Harry's World War 2 Draft Registration card shows him living at the same address 1307 St. Charles S

MyTrueAncestry's Problems With Significantly Continentally Mixed African, European People

I want to raise awareness about flaws in MyTrueAncestry's working with Ancient Samples and Deep Dives. I emailed the company about the problems. How MyTrueAncestry Works Our mission is to help you take your DNA results a step further. Discover your ancient relatives by comparing yourself to thousands of ancient samples from real archaeological sites. Our simple and secure service puts 10000 years of history, and over 85 ancient civilizations from around the world, at your fingertips. Samples are retrieved from archaelogical digs (e.g. a tooth from human remains) and the DNA is scanned in a complex process aligning the data with the human genome. Samples which are of high quality can then be processed as Ancient DNA samples. Raw samples are available to the public on online academic databases in raw format. Many ancient samples are of poor quality, but using advanced techniques it is possible to pull valuable information which can be used for comparisons. By combining the latest arc
