Hi Cas,
Glad you found the link. Everything I have gleaned over the years is there. Hope it helps you.
I'm looking for any collaborative info on the family history - whether you've heard the same as I or differently - and whether you think my Alice could be the d/o Leyshon. It is interesting that there is a story that links up 2 very distinctly distributed name groups (MORT and MORDECAI).
Anything to share? I'll be pleased to add to the website.
You are welcome to contact me offline also.

Regards,
Mark

Hello! 

Have found your Alice and Mary on the Glam baptism index also, same parents....cannot find a marriage for parents,  but will pass on, via pm, a email address of a lady who has an ongoing one name study for the Mort/Mordecai name, perhaps she can help further....

Don't know of any immediate connection to my link  :-\

Good luck

Cas

Hello again...

You dont have a facility for personal messages, and your website email link does not seem to work for me, had probs since last night. 

You will find her on this link under Mort /Mordecai one name study

HI THIS IS A LONG SHOT . DONT SUPPOSE ANY ONE KNOWS OF A MIRANDA MORT WHO MARRIED A CECIL WRIGHT IN NEATH AROUND 1920-1940?

Post by: Cas (stallc) on Monday 14 January 08 20:58 GMT (UK)
Sorry, as far as I am aware, Miranda is not related to my tree.  You could try the contact for the one name study link given above.  She is contacted by quite a few researchers and updates her tree with info from decendants.  Worth a shot. 

Also the complete index on Ancestry, as far as I am aware,  can be searched for free for possible marriage, but can be very time consuming, if you dont know when.

Good luck

Thanks for the help.
With a name like Leyshon MORDECAI, we can't rule out a Mordecai LEYSHON during a period of Welsh name anglicization. However, this name change doesn't help the cause.

Mark

Hello Mark
I am connected(by marriage) to the Mort/Moredcai dynasty and  I am trying to link Hopkin Mordecai to my tree somehow.  I was sent an ancestral tree about almost a year ago by Caryl Jones and I have added much to that but I can't  seem to connect Hopkin Mordecai.  Maybe you can help me or I may have to get back to Caryl.
Out of interest one of our children now lives in Japan with his Japanese wife and there will be a baby Mort in Tokyo when the cherry blossom is in flower next Spring!!
Best wishes
Annie

I now have a proven paper trail and atDNA match to two children of my 6xGGPs Hopkin MORDECAI / MORDECAY aka MORT & his wife Ruth of Glamorgan.
As this is a unique match, no other related MORDECAI descendants have done an atDNA test (Ancestry tree and DNA), however it does provide a helpful matching point for any other tester who thinks they may be related. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has atDNA results to share. As a small concentrated population, it is assumed that there is a common C17th/C18th relationship. I have continued to collect all references in the hope DNA may provide the connection.
For those interested in atDNA stats, the match was at the 7C level on paper, proven by 12.3 cM of shared DNA.
I updated my research page earlier today - http://creativegraces.net/genindex/mordecai.html
The family can also be discussed via my research blog - https://www.facebook.com/BristolBranches/

Good luck with the DNA endeavour/matches, Masgrace.  Personally, I find it all confusing and difficult to understand.  :-\

If you've tested and a Glamorgan MORDECAI or MORT by descent, happy to help. If you are not on Ancestry (say tested with FTDNA or another company) then results are compared by uploading to GEDmatch. Then all I need is your kit number.
We're all still learning, but examples like this are showing that it works and can help.
Good luck to you too.
