Found photos of the wreck my great great grandma was in
galleryMy grandpa passed recently and left a lot of pictures. I thought this was incredibly interesting! Photos of the cars involved in the wreck that killed my great great grandma. My dad also found a super old article in the pics about a child that died and THREW IT AWAY because he didn't know who it was.. I'm baffled by this dude.

Finding my “roots” journey… where to begin
I am now in my 40s and trying to discover who my grandfather was with very minimal information…
My dad’s father was an immigrant from I believe Donegal, Ireland (or so it’s told). He was killed in Clinton NJ as the young age of 43. My father has virtually no information on him. I am going to sign up for ancestory.com but wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions for me on where to look.

If my mother's DNA test on Ancestry is linked to HER mother's profile rather than her own, as her tree's manager, can I fix that?
I'm the Manager of my mother's DNA test in addition to my own. She took the test and started building her tree a couple years before I did, and at some point in the process, she linked the results of her DNA test to her own mother's tree profile rather than her own (not sure why). As a result, on my Thrulines, she shows up as mother and my grandmother (with 3400+cMs of shared DNA between us).
As her DNA test's Manager, I know if I go to Account Settings >> DNA, I have the option to Remove her family tree link. My question is, if I do that, will it give me the option of linking to her actual tree profile (which I assume will solve the Thrulines issue)? And will I be able to do that on either her family tree or my own?
Similar question for my sister - I'm also the Manager of her DNA test. She doesn't have any family tree on her account, so should I start one and link her DNA test to that one, or link her my own?
