The Common Room / Re: Is it worth paying the unlock fee on the FTDNA Site?
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 09:55 BST (UK) »I find the chromosome browser very useful! Liz
I was searching for advice about the FTDNA chromosome browser, and found this post that said you find it very useful. I am hoping someone might be able to advise me on how best to exploit it.
Essentially, I am trying to help someone now aged 77, (adopted at birth,) locate the details of their natural parents. I now have the maternal line sorted I believe.
Using the "in common" feature on FTDNA, I seem to have isolated 4 distinct clumping groups to 4 of the closest matches, that I suspect must be the paternal grandparent lines, but I don't know what my next step should be?
Does anyone feel able to advise me?

Thank you Maddy.
I thought it must be a special Rootschat bookmark, that I have never been able to find.
Glad I was brave enough to ask.

Yes LM the weather is shocking.
It looks like Mme Kathleen has gone off in a huff. Puff?
But apparently an equally grumpy Mme Lillian will be arriving very soon!
I must say I am fed up of it, and to be told we will probably still need hosepipe bans is the icing on the cake!!
Apparently it is blistering hot in Cumbria. Lucky them.
Your unfathomable game situation sounds fascinating RTL. Hope you get it sorted very soon.
If I get anymore invitations to give my talk, I will let you know.

Hello. It's been a long time since I looked in, and it is good to see everyone still chatting away.
I have spent the morning entertaining the Paignton Ladies Group with my "Day in the life of a Tudor Ladies Maid" talk.
It was fun to do, and seems to have been well received.
The weather down here has been absolutely shocking again; the rain hammering down earlier.
I am so glad I don't have to slosh around in long skirts very often!

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Ship Passenger list look up

I have an interest in Johan Michael MAUCH + half brother Johannes and their families, who sailed from Hamburg on the Johan Cesar in 1855, arriving at Moreton Bay in Feb 1856.
I would like to know if there is any reliable information about how these emigres were "processed" and dispatched to a work place?
