Mrs. Ow! How are you??? Once in a while you pop into my head. Hope life is treating you okay.
My DNA test showed my bloodline going back a few generations and the origin of that bloodline, but did not tell me when my ancestors were married (or not). Maybe you and Zippy had a different DNA test.
Birth/marriage/death records (from Ancestry.com, in my case) tells you who was born when and when their parents were (or were not) married.
This is as far back as I go, my 27th g-grandfather. No info on his parents and no phone number. This only comes from the above-mentioned records, not DNA.
This is the current page for my DNA test (via Ancestry) that I had several years ago; the current numbers are a lot different from the original as the database grows -- as I noted in my OP. The results are not so simple as a lot of people think.
