Midlothian / Re: Robert Miller and Jane Low
« on: Sunday 27 November 16 23:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
Rob Taylor has made me aware of this and in effect other related threads on the Edinburgh Miller/Low(Law) family.
He and I are descended via  clear family trees descended, (he by the eldest and I the youngest), from sons of Robert and Jane's grandson Allan, (b 1834). DNA could probably establish if others of you researching their link wish to confirm it.........I, my brother and another Miller descended cousin have already taken autosomal DNA tests via ancestry. If any of you who are unsure whether your ancestry includes the Miller/Low family and want to confirm it  why not take a test - if you share DNA with myself, my brother and my cousin you are,  (unless we have other common ancestry), also a descendant of Robert and Jane.  JOE L

Midlothian / Re: Alexander Tytler Miller b 1st May 1809

I've not looked at this site in a long time: Rob Taylor made me aware of the recent message threads about the Edinburgh Robert Miller'sfamily some of  whose children moved to the North East of England and via one, Ellen/Helen, we are both descended.
Reading this thread: Alas the Alexander Miller in Newcastle in 1841, an Engine Wright, seems to also be the, Sterling born, Alexander who in 1851 is lodging in Benwell area of Newcastle as an Engineer and, (looks like), a widower. If from Sterling then he is not the Alexander Tytler Miller who has disappeared from the records.
Question: have any of the readers of these threads who are Miller descendants taken an autosomal DNA test or have you considerd doing so? I have test result via Ancestry.co.uk for myself for my Brother and for a cousin who is a Miller descendent. If any of you have taken or take These tests particularly if a known Miller relative also took one it would, have a significant probability of identifying a genetic match between us and to other unknown descendants of the same family in the last 5 or 6 generations who have already taken tests and also share small amounts of DNA with us.
