Volume 1 of Segmentology is done. Fundamentals. What to do next? Some musings – waddayathink?
1. Continue this blog. Volume 1 incorporated many of the 200 blogposts so far, but I have perhaps 100 more in various stages – from title or concept to full drafts not yet published (same “scatter-shot” range of topics… And, as always, I encourage you to request topics .
2. Focus on Volume 2. Something like “Using the Fundamentals”. At the top of my list would be chapters on Finding Bio Ancestors; Walking The Clusters Back; Compilation of ThruLines TIDBITs; Tying in Floating Branches; Creating Your Personal Shared cM Chart; Some Core Objective Statements… What would be your catchy titles?
3. A Segmentology Collaboration platform or Forum. Some method where we could share our collective experience, insights, objectives, wish lists…. I feel there is a lot of collected wisdom among practicing “Segmentologists” – how can we capture and focus build on that? Your ideas are encouraged.
I’m not going to add an “all of the above” category, but that’s where this might go…
This blog has helped – actually “forced” – me think through, and research, and document Segmentology related concepts – to put them in plain English as best I can. I encourage you to comment on our future path. In the near term I’m going to “unload” some of my backlogged posts. I turn 83 this week, and I’m just not done with this Segmentology journey…

I would read any of the three, each idea suggests interesting content. Which one speaks to you the most? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouraging me to do more with DNA and my family research.

Continue the journey along any path that is offered and available in the moment … everyone “traveling” with you or who “finds” you along their own journey will be benefactors of having noted what you “Know” and what you “Think You Know” … and maybe continuing it.
