Ancestry says no to police for even its genealogy databases, not just DNA. Cold cases will remain cold cases. www.cbc.ca/news/investi...?

Quite the insensitive naming of a Jewish toddler sample at 23andme. Caitlin Hollander Waas, Chief Genealogist at JewishGen, posted about this on LinkedIn. Will 23andme identify all "inbred" samples? The poor child was murdered. www.linkedin.com/posts/caitli...

If you had relatives who were persecuted in the Soviet era, check out this post on finding more information on them. I explain how to use the database without knowing Russian and using Google Translate. The database has a list of victims, too. lostrussianfamily.wordpress.com/2026/01/24/f...

So darn happy with MyHeritage now. I was stuck on finding info on a Russian lady who immigrated to Algeria and then to the USA. I found her ship passenger record and marriage announcement in a French Algerian newspaper (the awesome OldNews database). Not as lucky on Ancestry... Never give up...

Here's proof that more results for Eastern European genealogy can be found on MyHeritage. A family tree I created to find connections to my ancestors has been on Ancestry for more than 10 years. I have family tree matches only on MyHeritage after two weeks. MyHeritage is worth trying, too.

Here's my newest ethnicity breakdown from 23andme. My 7 great-grandparents were born in Russia and one great-grandmother was born in eastern Poland. Never thought I would be listed more as Ukrainian and Polish than Russian. May this boost interest in DNA testing so I can get better matches soon.
