Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA to solve brickwalls?
« on: Friday 16 June 23 13:50 BST (UK) »
As I spend a lot of time stuck on my wifes brickwall (https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=873740.0) and mine (https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=873730.0). I wondered if DNA could provide answers? Though my knowledge of this area is very basic. Is it correct to say, say via Ancestry DNA, that if my wife has a connection with the same surname (Mortimer in this case). With no connection in their current trees or obvious connections, it might worth tracing their tree down to maybe demolish my wifes brickwall?
We both have family stories (hers Roger Mortimer and mine Dafydd ap Mathew) that I would like to prove or disprove.
