Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Consistory court cases
« on: Friday 22 January 21 08:21 GMT (UK) »
I received two Consistory court cases relating to a case in 1608 (7 pages) and another in 1614 (8 pages) both in Derbyshire. However they seem to be in Latin and/or Legal abbreviation.
I anyone able to transcribe them for me or know anyone who can? I have already had one quote but it is over budget but I am willing to pay for them to be transcribed

I used to use FTM 2014 and did consider upgrading to the latest until I saw the price yesterday! But yes it is that type of chart I'd like

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Rootsmagic descendant list
« on: Monday 25 November 19 20:14 GMT (UK) »
I am thinking of changing to Rootsmagic 7 and have downloaded RM Essentials to have a play with. I just have one query I hope someone can answer.
As my family tree is so large (over 17000 people), I print it using 'Outline descendants chart' or similar printing birth, baptism, marriage, death, burial, occupation and notes (census, newspaper reports, manorial records etc). It looks like the descendant list would fulfill this task but from RM essentials I can only print birth, marriage and death. Is there a way of printing all the above in a descendants list?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA advice
« on: Wednesday 18 September 19 20:05 BST (UK) »
My great great grandfather Thomas was born in 1863 on the Isle of Wight but by 1881 was in London living with his cousin. His eldest son my great grandfather was born in Camberwell in 1886 three further children followed but he didn't marry the mother for some reason. WATO point to Thomas being the possible ancestor and not my great grandfather. Thomas was a laundryman - had his own laundry so no reason to go overseas

Thanks for your suggestions, I have just tried WATO and different hypothesis and my great great grandfather having an illegitimate child and DR being a descendent of this looks most likely. However I am still trying to work out the locations due to great great grandfather coming from the Isle of Wight and moving to London by the age of 17 and DR's family at this time being in Sweden, Ireland and Germany!

I have used that and spent the last few weeks compiling DR's tree which I now have back to his great great grandparents - none of them in England where mine and PH tree's are based.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA advice
« on: Tuesday 17 September 19 17:03 BST (UK) »
I have an Ancestry DNA match which I will call DR.
After my father, uncle and cousin, he is my highest DNA match 208 cM over 12 segments 2-3 cousin.
My uncle matches 304cM over 14 segments and also 2-3 cousin
I contacted DR and the reply was we have origins in USA, Sweden and Germany. My family is England and Scotland.
I contacted PH who also shares at match with myself and DR. I discovered PH great grandmother Annie and my great great grandfather Thomas were siblings so I narrowed down which 'tree' DR come in. PH and DR share 133cM over 6 segments and 3-4 cousin. PH daughter shares 51cM over 4 segments and PH half sister 94cM over 7 segments.
So despite searches by 3 of us we can't fathom how DR fits into our tree his father is German, mothers family Swedish.
As PH has a lower DNA match with DR does this mean it is likely to be from my great grandfather or great great grandfather? We do know Annie and Thomas's parents separated and the father had a 'housekeeper' living with him in 2 census's but this was on the Isle of Wight! I did wonder if they had a child.
Any help appreciated.

Thank you so much! I think I may have got thre in the end (or most of it) but it would have taken a good few days! and I am out of practice. Very much appreciated
