Many years ago, I gave some info about my grandfather to a Scientist at Melbourne Uni. He scanned all of my grandfather's diaries onto a CD. Thomas James Malcomson was born in Collingwood in 1909. He was an optical engineer and helped make gun sights for rifles during ww2. He was secretary to the Optical Munitions Panel and used to fly to Sydney, Perth and Tasmania.

Watching the ABC TV with a live broadcast of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the conflict in Malaysia. Very moving speeches. I hate wars but I feel for the families that lost loved ones and still grieve 75 years later. Now they are laying wreaths with bagpipes playing. Very moving.

I can help you interpret your results.

The affordable pricing and simple process of direct-to-consumer DNA kits means curiosity around family and cultural heritage is tempting to satisfy. But are there costs to consumers that aren't financial?

In 5 days' time it will be my father's 96th birthday. Unfortunately, he passed away on the 17th of April this year. Genealogy is about births, deaths and marriages, but recording dad's death on ancestry records was hard. Our mother is now a widow at 89. I'm so glad I got dad to do his DNA with Ancestry and also Family Tree Maker. Through DNA matches, I have been able to confirm up to his great-grandparents and beyond on some branches. Our William Mushet is a bit of a mystery as I don't think he was born in Glasgow. I'm still working on connections.
