Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: HELP PLEASE
« on: Tuesday 26 March 24 18:04 GMT (UK)  »
Annie, I was going to suggest that If the DNA links are all to the Black family, that you may not be looking for Jack Martin at all, and that the mother possibly gave a false name for the father of the child.

However, if you have found Jack at that address in 1933, this suggestion is incorrect, but Jack must be related to the Black family in some way.

I can't find him in Cheetham Hill in 1933, however. Have you got any further details about this? Or any details regarding the Black family?

You would be looking for common great grandparents or greatgreat grandparents as common ancestor, if looking at 2nd/3rd cousin.

Thanks once more.
I did Latin at school, many years ago, but even that would not have helped me very much!

Ahh! Thought you had found a translation at Ancestry.

'A' William Adnam of St Mary Bourne was my 8G grandfather - I thought that Robert might have been his father.

I certainly thought that I could read 'William Adnam - - - - Abintestate son of Intestate - -

Thank you very much for clarifying.

Thanks, Bookbox.

Where did you find that?

I'm looking at this probate from 1686, Robert Adnam died intestate. There is also an inventory.

Any offers for a translation?

A start -
15 Sept 1686
- - Robert Adnam  of St MaryBourne in Coun' Southton (County of Southampton) of Winton - - William Adnam - - - - Abintestate son of Intestate - -
I'm mainly lost after that, other than the occasional word.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: UnIdentIfIed close DNA match

I was a regular here a few years ago, but my brain isn't working as well as it should do, so I stopped coming - if I couldn't sort myself out, how could I help others work their problems through.

My first post was incorrect, as flagged by both of you.

X is cousin to 2 of the 3 of us, ½ sibling to the third. I am one of the cousins.

Ambly -
"What is the likelihood of me and Y sharing 26 cMs/28cMs respectively with a match, but my cousins sharing none/"   Does this mean yourself and Y (the son of X) have a Shared Match with a person - one of you at 26cM, the other at 28cM - but A and B don't report any Shared Match with that  same person?"

That is correct.

"Do A and B  have any Shared Matches at all with Y? What (other) Shared matches do you have with Y, if any? "

All 4 of us share many, many matches to my paternal grandparents.

"Also, when was this - ie: in relation to who?
"A's father was stationed in Japan and engaged to be married"
"B's father would have been c.14 years old"


End of the 2nd world war. Conception of this baby would have been summer 1945, when A's father was not in this country, and B's father would have been c 14.
B's father may have been evacuated, so not under the watchful eyes of parents! But the mother was an older teenager.

As for ages in -   26 M, 25 M, 19 F, 13 M.

Biggles -
"Your Aunt may have had a child that was then adopted."

X met up with his mother in later life, DNA matches with her side of the family now, so not an option. She was unwilling to give him any information about his father.

I can't follow your last paragraph, I'm  afraid, my brain can't take it in.
But working it through in my brain now, the putative father, my uncle, passed one lot of DNA to one cousin eg A, a different lot of DNA to X. Which is common enough.

My other uncle may or may not have inherited that bit of DNA from grandparents, didn't pass it down to cousin eg B.

My father inherited it and passed it down to me.

Thank you both for your insight.

I tested with Ancestry.

Should have made it clear, my paternal grandparents had 4 children, 3 boys and 1 girl.

My cousins and I are descended from the 3 sons, one each.

For context, I share 327 cMs/14 segments with Y, cousins A and B share 452/20 and 593/23.

None of these are definitive for ½ nephew.

A's father was stationed in Japan and engaged to be married, B's father would have been c.14 years old!
Nothing seems to stack up.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / UnIdentIfIed close DNA match
« on: Sunday 28 January 24 05:52 GMT (UK)  »
Long time since I have posted here!

My 2 paternal cousins and I have found an unexpected ½ sibling/cousin, X, whose father is unknown as he was adopted. His son Y, an unexpected nephew or 1st cousin once removed has had DNA testing.

X is not my cousin, appears to be ½ sibling of one of my 2 cousins, from DNA matching to Y.

What is the likelihood of me and Y sharing 26 cMs/28cMs respectively with a match, but my cousins sharing none?

I'm trying to get my head around this, there would be no other apparent parentage for X.
