Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match....

A Smart Match on MyHeritage has led me to my first Italian cousin, as opposed to the Italian-American cousins I have been connecting with up to this point.  In my experience, MyHeritage, being an Israeli-based company rather than US, attracts more European users.  So if you have European ancestry and want to connect with living cousins, put a tree out there.  Unless your ancestry is the British Isles, in which case Find my Past is probably the better bet.  If I ever find Irish townlands of origin for my Irish lines, I might finally spend some time on Find my Past, but I'm not there yet! 

I've connected with many Swedish cousins on MyHeritage (lots of cousins of Buzz Aldrin!), but had not updated my Italian line recently.  Adding in some of the recent Italian discoveries from my Omignano focus the last couple of months brought up some new hits.  I sent a message via the web site to contact my potential cousin, and a couple of weeks later, she replied!  And even though I don't speak Italian, and she doesn't speak English, we've traded emails and exchanged pictures of our Italian Giordano ancestors.  So now I have a cousin to visit when I finally get my Italy trip plan together.  And maybe local feet on the ground to hunt down records, especially if they are OUR family records and not just MY family records.  :)

Working through the Omignano records is reaping benefits!  Time to get back to it....

  2. From the third to sixth free spin bonus symbol lacking a number of} occasions in a row as a "teaser" to taking again all winnings and extra after a bonus win. I agree that after winning on one machine after which enjoying in} on other random slot machines, all or most of my winnings are taken again by the on line casino as if I can't win anymore. I consider that using a player's card leads to the on line casino operations room technician controlling your total expertise, and as acknowledged by one contributor, one loses in lengthy run|the long term}. For people who find themselves} actually good at blackjack, the advantage for the on line 카지노사이트 casino may be solely zero.5%, however certain types of slot machines might need a 35% edge over a player—and other games fall somewhere in between.
