Hunters ale house also!
A good explanation of how history affects the places our ancestors worshipped and shapes the choices available today. Add in the multicultural nature of Canada and we have many churches that are similar in their desire for God but come from different historical paths.
Thank you yes History affects so much. Our ancestors decisions influence who we are more than we can fathom.
A history of denominations in Scotland and the Diaspora is one of the hardest things to grasp. The charts bewilder me! Psalm-singing without instruments can be so very beautiful.
Yes those charts are confusing.
I use Google Earth for my genealogy. I like the fact that I can have a folder for each branch of my family and subfolders for different eras (Canada, before Canada, etc.) and each grandparent can have a different colour pin if I want. In Google Earth it's easy to zoom from one place to another. And I have found a website that even helps you get the details for farmland that you can store in Google Earth. I haven't mastered layering on old maps.
Yes nice tool. I have used it to visit ancestors houses that are still used today
Those with the most guns usually win.
This war was as much as or even more about European disputes than anything in the Americas
Thank you for sharing this story ❤
Thanks for watching!
Im checking on any update of my results every day for 2 months now. Nothing. It’s truly frustrating
I feel you! At this rate, your results should put on a show when they finally arrive! Let's hope they show up with a grand entrance!
@@HowWeGotHereAbsolutely! i hope so☺️
The results of V2 seems to all be 100% ethnicity, when I first heard the news of the update i was very excited, I still haven't received my updated results. But if its going to be some ridiculous 100% estimate who cares if I ever receive the update??
100% ethnicity? Sounds like they forgot to add a little spice to the mix! Who knew we were all just one flavor of ice cream? 🍦 That could be a reason why they stopped with furtehr updates if you know anybody who had that let me know I'd love to chat with them
@@HowWeGotHere I wish I did, all the V2 results I've seen have been on CZcams, I do however try to ask them if they are pleased with these new results that are 100%, some seem quite content with the update, but I'm finding a lot more people are dissatisfied with the update, they say the old results made so much more sense.
lol who hasn’t watched this and felt inspired? I’ve been to Scotland twice in my life and I am 57 % Scottish 🏴 I’m from Ireland and I’m 26 % Irish 😂I’ve 800 relatives in Canada according to ancestry DNA. My parents listened to Canadian folk rockers, The Band. Their song Acadian Driftwood literally tells the story of one branch of our family. Before knowing this I had a big fascination with Acadia. Since then I’ve discovered my family’s long standing presence in Acadia/ Nova Scotia and in one family tree I’ve discovered my surname as Marcil, Marcel and lastly Marshall. I don’t know if this was done to hide French ancestry. Do you know of any incidents where names were changed to the French sounding equivalent to avoid persecution?
I'm not sure of it was done to escape persecution because it was done later so it may have been done for other reasons but I have come across a White family that were formally LeBlanc (the White)
@@HowWeGotHere it’s fascinating, I’ve been deep diving into my genealogy since getting my results in February. My ancestors from Maine used to nip across to Canada during prohibition (obviously the Irish family members 🤣) My grandfather was raised in Canada and when my grandmother divorced him (he loved women 😉) he moved from Manchester England right back to Canada! He visited us twice when I was a boy but there’s very little information on him when I search him up lol! If ever there was a way to break this brick wall I will do it! Thank for the interesting content man
@@grantmarshall3026 so was he from New Brunswick?
@@HowWeGotHere apparently my paternal line has been in Canada since at least my 3rd great grandfather. My great grandfather was born in Belfast in 1891 so my great great grandfather didn’t emigrate to Canada, he was born and died in Belfast, he died at 80 outliving 5 of his 6 children. My great grandfather must have moved to Ottawa after he saw service in the Great War as he fought with British in France. After that He and my great grandmother went to Canada near both their families. My great grandfather went back and forth from Ireland and again fought for the British in WW2 as a gunner aged 53. He was killed in France in September 44, and his remains were sent back to Belfast for burial. He lost at least two brothers in the Great War and he was shot 3 times in France! He was very lucky until he came back to France to be a gunner at 53! His son was born in Dublin North in 1926 and then the family went back to Canada. Because my grandfather was raised in Canada he was apparently in the RCAF but can’t find any records! My dad reckoned he was a Squadron Leader at 19, right before the end of WW2. He was stationed near Manchester England where he met and married my grandmother.
Update, I’ve just seen Joseph Broussard Beausoliel in a dna linked tree…..I’m so amazed 👊👊

First look; Scottish Celt .😅
Thanks for addressing this, Brian. Really hope they provide some answers soon.
I hope so too
I've heard some people got their updates. Why not everyone?
I have not heard a concrete answer and s-peculate no more than what I did in my video
Do you think this will affect their business in the long run?
I think it will have a short term impact on their trust factor
This delay is making me consider switching services.
That's too bad as I believe especially when it comes to European matches they have the best results
Thanks for looking into this!
Any time!
Anyone else having issues with other features on MyHeritage?
No I haven't heard it affecting anything but the ethnicity updates
How long have you been waiting for your update, Brian?
since the the announcement in March
Has MyHeritage provided any timeline at all?
No which is what is most frustrating
Great topic, Brian! I can't wait to hear what you found out about the delays.
Coming soon! Hopefully
Thanks for keeping us informed, Brian.
Well, see ya; Thanks for commenting :)
It's so disappointing when companies don't communicate with their users.
I completely understand your frustration. Effective communication is crucial for building trust between companies and their users.
Is there any way we can escalate our concerns?
Not really
I was so excited about the ethnicity updates. This is such a letdown.
I'm still confident they will be worth the wait
How can they improve their customer service?
Better communication in the future
I hope they have a good reason for these delays.
I hope it's to improve better end results.
This is why I prefer AncestryDNA.
I contend the important parts are the matches and for people matching European sources My Heritage is definitely better in my experience
I've been waiting months for my MyHeritage updates! So frustrating!
We all have been
Thanks for advocating for us, Brian.
Thank you for your comment
Is it just ethnicity updates that are delayed?
Yes, only that. But it seems the people only care about these estimates.
Yes and really it's one of the least valueable parts in all honesty.
Thans Alex
@@HowWeGotHere Thank you for your great work. I agree with you. The most important features are the DNA tools and matches, ethnicity estimations are only for fun.
This is why transparency is so important.
Absolutely! Transparency fosters trust and builds strong connections. It's crucial in any relationship, especially in content creation!
Maybe it's time to write some reviews online.
That's what I was doing here it can't hurt but be balanced and fair.
Maybe we should all tweet at them to get their attention.
I've been considering 23andMe. Any thoughts?
I haven't used because it's not designed for serious genealogy research
Why is MyHeritage taking so long?
Hopefully to make improvements
Any suggestions for alternative genealogy services?
No for DNA they are the best atleast for me and my connections
Appreciate your efforts to get to the bottom of this.
You're welcome
I think they owe us some compensation for the delays.
It's a free update
How can we as users hold them accountable?
Let them know your feelings
What steps can we take to ensure this doesn't happen again?
Let them know they need to communicate better
This delay has really soured my experience with MyHeritage.
Give them achance
Have you heard anything from other genealogy services about similar delays?
Not really as I don't think others announce it .
Good Day Eh! Thanks for doing this live stream.
Good Day, eh! to you too. Well, it's either this or watch paint dry, right? Thanks for sticking around for the shenanigans.
Maybe it's time for a class action lawsuit.
Definitely not the update is freeand doesn't change who you are. They are agood company just give them some time it's still summer
Love your content, Brian. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoy it!
I've always had good experiences with MyHeritage until now.
Maybe MyHeritage just needed a little break from being so perfect!
Great stream as always!
Thanks for coming Remember to speak up in chat next time.
I hope MyHeritage is watching this!
I had a lot of viewes life so one never knows
Any updates on when we might get our results?
As soon as I know I will post it in my community tab and will do an update video
