Title: Help needed with finding Glass family please.
Post by: Romilly on Wednesday 14 November 18 09:29 GMT (UK): This family emigrated to Canada at some stage.

Could anyone on here do a Look-up for me please?

James J Glass, (Born Wiltshire, England) and his Wife Ada Glass, (Born England 1870)
With children James W, George F, Walter H, John, Violet E and Sidney Glass

Left England (Exact Date unknown)
For:
St John, New Brunswick, Canada.

James W. Glass (born 1891) returned to England at some stage and Married Lucy Kean (Born 1886).

I'm not sure if the rest of the family remained in Canada or not.

Cheers, Romilly.

George is 18, so James being older possibly travelled earlier with father.

Post by: Romilly on Friday 19 February 21 10:28 GMT (UK): Hello Shannon,

Nice to meet you on here.

I have a DNA match to one of the Glass family, who lives in Wales. So do my other paternal relatives who’ve tested. I’ve been trying to find where our link is, and I think it comes via the Kean and Butler families, who married into the Glass’s.

Have any of your family members taken DNA tests do you know?

Best Wishes, Romilly.
Title: Re: Help needed with finding Glass family please.
Post by: PandaShan87 on Friday 19 February 21 13:34 GMT (UK): Hey Romilly,

That's so cool!! I'm not aware of many that have taken any DNA tests. I know I have wanted to do it for many years! I live in Ontario, Canada, as does most of the relatives that I know of, aside from my Uncle Lawrence who lives in PEI. Sadly though, we are losing family members pretty quickly :(

These boards aren’t meant for tracing living relatives, and so one has to work forwards from the past...

My reason for doing a DNA test is because I’ve been trying to find my paternal grandfather for many years now. All of my strongest paternal DNA Matches are in Ontario!
