Summer still hiding (30/52/2023):
#WikiTreeTech helped me to generate descendant list for my #Geisinger #OneNameStudy. Now I know about 140 independent lines exist in WT. A lot to connect. My cat is upset by colder rainy days, which the roses love. Some insects ate up all the rucola plants. Had some creative time to generate background graphics for the new #Meszecsov One Name Study in #WikiTree. Just received my great-grandmother's passport.

@sidaba 160 lines? Wow, that’s quite a sizeable study. I was thinking #YDNA would potentially help to connect and differentiate between the lines. But finding testers is never easy…

@sven I am positive that it should be possible to cut this at least to the half, since I have currently many couples were the wife has a Geisinger maiden name, and her side never was "researched". People tend to research their paternal lines first.
I know of at least 3 seperate lines which are proven seperate origin, for all the others there is a lot not look at. When I started I thought on a 10 year plan, but in the moment it seems like a lifelong plan. #Geisinger #OneNameStudy

@sven I did not started any #YDNA testing, since my direct #Geisinger Ancestor is my mother and my Grandfather and his brothers already passed away. May be I will grow an interest in it when all the existing sources are gathered.

@sidaba I have started with my patrilineal line, and learned that it takes a lot of time and effort to recruit people to test. I have now also initiated work on other male lines like my maternal grandfather’s patrilineal line and my father’s paternal grandmother’s father’s line. These were the low hanging fruits for me as I had identified testers, but creating the structures you need early one can help with cousin baiting. I guess this is just my experiment with it.
