During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let me know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.
Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending me a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.
If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email adress for WikiTree is one you actually still use.
Thank you!

9.94 cM 18 generations back -- AMAZING!!!! People insist NOOOOO!!!! IT CANNOT BE! DNA IS TOO DILUTED!!!!! That's what they say. They are pessimists. ;) I find that all hints are good for pointing us at further research.
A segment was 9.94. But the aggregate small segment DNA might be much larger if you use dna painting. One might even see triangulations. it is always worth looking.
And the Neville's are notables and they are in history books. All we have to do is find out gateway ancestors and history takes over (to a certain extent.) that is why we pursue "hints" from small DNA segments. (This is optimism, right? Call me PollyAnna).
Thanks for the message! I love the relationship finder! Hope you are having a lovely holiday!!
Merry Christmas!

I bushwacked a trail back to Deacon John Dunham, Sr. of Plymouth Colony, using MyHeritage, FamilySearch, Ancestry, and Geni (discovered your correspondence there as well).
Now the task will be to find sufficient sources and documentation to justify constructing the missing profiles on WikiTree, which I plan to start this weekend.
Let's stay in touch and keep each other briefed on what we find out.
Oh, and I'm curious how far back on the tree we're related. I know you wrote me your a fifth cousin to my maternal grandmother Lola Hardin [Sims-5104] What's the connection?
Best, Mark
I have 8 Scot clans and one Irish Clan. I could wear *all* the tartans! hahahaha!

The merge was in 2014 (that info should be on the Changes page). It was completed & I didnt remove the comment. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
DNA is hardly a scam, or useless, but like all science, it needs to be applied properly and its limits understood - autosomal DNA is very helpful for matches that are within the past ~~5-6 generations, and of course Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA can go much, much farther back.
