I have a big 20 year old question mark regarding my relationship to a known ancestor. My hunch is he (and his wife) are my 4x gr grandparents, parents of my 3x great, Job, and my recent DNA results on ancestry seem to support this.
However, it appears on paper his son is my 4th, here's why. And please bear with my attempt at being thoroughly clear.
John Baker (1816), eldest son of Samuel, & wife, Sarah, had a son, Job (1835), baptized privately at home in Newfoundland.
A year later, John's parents, Sam and Jane, had a son, "John" (1836), baptized in a church.
I contend that the baby, Job (1835), died soon after the private baptism, and Sam's son, baptized as John (1836) is actually my Job.
My reasoning:
First of all I know it's not absolutely impossible, but why would Sam and Jane name two sons, John? I am sure John (1816) survived, resettled in Notre Dame Bay abt. 1840, and had more children, thus they didn't name the baby, "John" (1836), in his memory. Samuel remained in Carbonear.
Secondly, when my Job married in 1859, his residence is give as Carbonear, indicating he never left with John (1816). Also, Samuel is named as a witness at the marriage.
Thirdly, Samuel and Job were entered as witnesses at the marriage of one of Samuel's daughters. If my Job was John (1816)'s son, he would be the nephew of the bride. That would be odd, especially given the fact that she had many brothers who could have been witnesses.
Fourthly, Baby Job (1835) must have been in a dire situation. Newfoundland in the 1830s in November was a cold rugged place. For a priest or reverend to be called out to a private residence there must have been an immediate need.
Fifthly, My Job named 2 of his children, Samuel and Jane, as well as the same names of Samuel's other children. None were named John or Sarah.
And finally we come to my DNA matches. So as to not have a ridiculously long post I'll try to come up with a concise way to summarize in a new post. This has been one of my brick walls for so long, I would be very grateful for all thoughts and insight.

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to upload a gedcom that orginated from ancestry.com back to ancestry, just without the pics. I remember doing it successfully before, but now, when I upload, the pics show. Thanks for any info.

Hi All, I hope to get the name of the parish which includes Raffery in County Down. When attempting to search the parish records on NLI, I entered the civil parish of Killinchy but that wasn't it.
I'm looking for info on William Lowrey (born c. 1800) from Raffery.
Cheers!
