I'm wondering if anyone has had their DNA test done in regards to relationships and who your ancestors were.
Can the natal charts be of some synastry between them and you (depending on how close that relationship was?)
I'm finding a lot of information from my DNA test I never knew before which is surprising.
The first person that prompted me to take the test was a missing paternal grandmother....What I found is she died at age 26 after giving birth to my father 6 months afterwards. She was a victim of the Spanish Flu in 2018, having given birth in 2017.
Her family was quite influential, and interesting and goes all the way back in Maryland to Colonial days, when the British (mostly) were coming to the shores of Maryland, Virginia and New Hampshire and Massachusetts (like the Pilgrims who came before them)
There is a direct line I have from this paternal grandmother (whose name was Cora Agnes Bailey to George Washington's brother.
The blood relationship to get to that path was 10 or 12 generations of people, then in laws became the Washington clan of Mt. Vernon fame.
Actually, the plantation was called "Nomini Plantation" where many of them, the Washington family their inlaws, and even slaves are buried today.

It appears that it was so huge, that many different families occupied the main house at different times.
The ancestry line that started with Cora's ancestors (within 10 generations), were Tobacco planters in those Colonial times. But the BIGGEST of all the Tobacco people were in Virginia like the Washingtons, the Carters, and a few others.
I found there was one man who occupied this Plantation at one time who owned so many other plantations, he named them after the Signs of the Zodiac!
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nomini Hall Plantation[/FONT]
Location: Westmoreland Co., VA
Constructed: 1729
History: Robert "Councillor" Carter lived at Nomini Hall, the elegant manor house his father built about 1729 in Westmoreland County, overlooking the Potomac and Nomini Rivers, a plantation of about 2,000 acres. The square Georgian style home with four chimneys was made of brick, two stories high, located on a hill with a spectacular view of the rivers
the LEO plantation was a favorite for it's immense size.
Associated Plantations: Aries Plantation (Westmoreland Co., VA), Ben Lomond Farm (Prince William Co., VA) Cancer Plantation (Prince William Co., VA), Capricorn Plantation (Frederick Co., VA), Libra Plantation (Frederick Co., VA), Nomini Hall (Westmoreland Co., VA), Scorpio Plantation (Frederick Co., VA), Virgo Plantation (Frederick Co., VA)
I found that within this clan (the Washington clan), someone sired a young child by a slave named VENUS, and she named him WEST FORD.
I thought I'd start with the chart of his biological father, (from all accounts it was John Augustine Washington, a brother of President George Washington- son of John., or one of many brothers.
I'm sure I can find his chart or date of birth, and hoping to find that of WEST FORD.
If not, I'll start with mine and my missing grandmother.
