The Common Room / Re: DNA result....confused

I have a similar case but further up a line where actually comparing a half great.with.a second cousin

Because although the great aunt only shares one great grandparent with me and the second cousin shares two

The great aunt s other parent is also connected to my family. Thru a different line .It would be interesting to know how strong your half aunts matches are to.your first cousins

Thank you for your interest and help,

As far as my results go, my half Aunt appears to be the only close family member who has had her DNA tested. I have tried to make contact, unfortunately she hasn’t  responded.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I did as suggested by Gadget entered total DNA of 1030cm which  confirmed
that she is a half Aunt.


I
Ancestry will use the value to suggest various relationships from available data.

If you go to this site

https://dnapainter.com/tools/sharedcmv4

 and put the total DNA you share with your half aunt in the top box, it will show the  various relationships you could have with that value.

A half aunt would probably be between 492 and 1312. This amount could also be one of the relationships that you list. By coincidence, my great or grand nephew and I share 1100cMs so, without knowing the actual relationship, they could suggest that I am his half aunt, etc.

 I have recently received my DNA results which shows my closest match being with a half-aunt( known fact)  suggested as being a first cousin or a Gt Aunt.  Can anyone explain why that may be?

Thank you

Thank you both for your help. ( Will digest your suggestions.)

I did contact the Strand Presbyterian Church but so far have not had a reply.
If I do manage to solve the problem I will post further.

Once again thank you both for your time and effort.

Recently I purchased a second-hand book, which has a  presentation plate in the front cover which reads

Strand Presbyterian Church,
Connsbrook Avenue
Sydenham.

SABBATH SCHOOL
2nd PRIZE

Awarded to
Hubert Adams
For Attendance
10/4/14

Minister:
Rev. Thos. BYERS, B.A.

I have found a lot of information for Rev.Thos. Byers, but only
three Hubert Adams which do not seem to fit the bill.  Two being
Methodist, the third  a Presbyterian but would only have been 3years in 1914. Does anyone have any ideas?  I do not have any connection to the family.

Initial response ,leave well alone!

Having discovered two half siblings quite by accident,  still looking for one, I have encountered
much resistance with family members who possibly know the truth and could help.  The most surprising comment was why would I want to know?
Sadly, my discovery came after the death of my parents.
However, I have to say that I am still searching as it is part of my family history. Just be very aware
the impact this may have on all involved.

Thank you CarolW
 
I have been trying to establish this info for a long time. Grandmother was born 1902  and
Isn't on the 1911 census in her birth name or her known surname, neither are the couple who
? adopted her. If she was boarded out would there have been a record of this?

London and Middlesex / Edmonton Workhouse - Babies
« on: Wednesday 30 July 14 21:45 BST (UK)  »

Are there any records for babies other than discharge from the workhouse?  My grandmother is
documented as being discharged two months after her birth - a month before her mother!
There isn't a forwarding address for either.  Any suggestions of where to look please?

Thank you
Dovecote
