Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Can someone explain this please
« on: Tuesday 03 October 23 13:30 BST (UK)  »
I have been using DNA painter and Chromosome browsers to map my matches. I have solved one brickwall and thought I understood how it all worked until the following result

I have a match on MyHeritage of 21.7 cmgs  on chromosome 16 and a match on Ancestry with her daughter of 22cmgs and  eight other shared matches ranging between 33cm and 17 cm  on Ancestry, six with trees have the same common Ancestors. Ancestry assigning them to my maternal side
So far so good

I then get contacted by the first matches first cousin(DFH) on Ancestry. There we do not match, but on GEDMATCH we have a 7.1 cmg match on Chromsome 15. This segment on my maternal side  is a subset of a known match(SH) that I have all ready painted. So I am thinking right I know what line this group must fit into my tree

But when I run a 1:1 on GEDMATCH between DFH and SH they don't match, unless I drop the minimum segment cm limit, when there is a 5.3 cm match on Chromosome 17 nothing on 15

DFH has the same common ancestors as the others in her tree.

The only thing I can think of is that she matches me  on my paternal side not maternal( hence the duplicate segment with SH is irrelevant), and that either she hasn't inherited the  DNA that I have  from the common Ancestors or there is an NPE and her tree is wrong

What do people think?

Have you linked this new tree to your DNA test?

World War One / Re: CEF records

Thank you Polar Bear hopefully ST to SW will not take long!

Kentishkiwi I will wait until I know what unit he served with, it looks like most of the 54th recruits of this time were transferred to other units

World War One / CEF records
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfathers brother Albert Swann joined the 54th Canadian Infantry Battalion in May 1915.  No. 443044
He survived the War. I am going to the battlegrounds shortly and would like to visit the places he fought.
The problem is I  can only find his Attestation form not his service record. Reading about the 54th battalion, although they fought at many major battles from August 1916 onwards it seems many men were transferred to other Canadian battalions especially the early recruits of 1915, so he may not have fought with the 54th at all.
I have tried looking at www.canadiangreatwarproject.com where you can look at all the other soldiers with reg numbers either side of Albert and all those  who died, died with other units and those who survived still have 54th Battalion as their unit, only I think because the records have never been updated.
Any ideas?

The Lighter Side / WDYTYA Series 13: Greg Davies
« on: Wednesday 01 February 17 21:17 GMT (UK)  »
Watched the programme tonight

Wanted to know if William Owen already married when Greg's ancestor born and that was why he was paying maintenance
Frustratingly the program didn't show the how long married column in 1911 census of William and Martha Owen or indeed their marriage certificate. So I looked them up on FindMyPast.
1911 census says married for 3 years , but we saw first child born in 1907, indicating married April - Dec 1907.
However can find no marriage between  a William Owen and Martha Williams.
 Suspect they were never married and fled to South Wales and just told everyone they were married...

The Lighter Side / Re: "Who Do You Think You Are" Series 13, Episode #4: Cheryl
« on: Thursday 15 December 16 22:26 GMT (UK)  »
Interesting episode especially as we have family in in the DLI in WW1
Frustrating as they didn't explain where the photo of the Master mariner and the Memorial Card came from. Passed down to another relative? Or just happen to have been given to a museum?

Also I wonder if the relative who wrote the 'Dear Relative' letter(very secretive by the BBC I thought) regarding her  ggrandfather had worked out to whom he/she was writing to by tracing down the tree, before the program was aired..
