The DNA match confirming the paper trail I'd worked on for years (using online sources as they became available) was a big relief. It's difficult researching persons several states away and before the 20th century!

How neat!
I wasn't an early adopter of DNA for my genealogy research, and then I won a door prize of a DNA test at 2 consecutive conferences -- for different companies!
That wasn't a hint, it was a mandate from On High.Years after I submitted the tests, I got contacted from a cousin in a line that we'd lost touch with in the 1960s, and found a match who confirmed a possible paper trail for a branch that had "gone west" after the 1870 census.
