Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Gap Induced Break
« on: Friday 09 July 21 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Can anyone explain in very simple terms what a gap induced break is.  I'm trying to figure out the link between me and Mr P.  On Gedmatch many of the people who share a link with both of us say there is a gap induced break on one of the chromosomes and I don't know what that means 

Thank you

Many of mine upgraded.  They were farm labourers but on marriage stated they were yeoman or farmers.  I suppose it was to impress their new fathers-in-law!!

I have many Methodist Lay Preachers in my tree.They were Farmers, Butchers, Ironstone Miners etc etc so I don't think it would be unusual for him to be a Labourer/Methodist Preacher.

Perhaps not odd if there wasn't a Wesleyan Chapel near by. Or perhaps his wife was Anglican.  There could be several reasons for the childrens' baptisms.  My family were very early Methodists but events i.e. baptisms, marriages and burials were all held in the local Church despite them having a Methodist Chapel from the late 1700's.

If he was a Methodist Lay Preacher information can be very hard to come by.  My 5xgrandfather was a Methodist Lay Preacher from the mid-1700's to early 1800's.  Despite knowing that he worked under John Wesley and had met him several times I've never found him in any official Methodist records, not surprisingly, but he did pop up in a local history booklet and in another more prominent Methodist's life story. 

Perhaps it would be worth checking local archives to see if they have anything that might shed light on his service.

Have a look on the Government Wills website as it shows date of death on there
