I would love any assistance with a birth record for William Evans, born 1802, Llanddaniel, Anglesey Wales. I appreciate any hints, cheers, Donna

My grandfather was a runaway. We do not have any reliable record of his parents names. There is no paper trail to follow.
My father is willing to do a DNA test, would the y chromosome test be the best place to start?
Ancestry vs Ftdna, are they essentially the same? Is the cost the difference?

The more I read the more overwhelming it all becomes.
Thanks for any advice,
Donna.

I am wondering was there such a place as "Woodlands" County Kerry? One of my ancestors claimed to have been born there, but Google only recognises a camp ground and B & B.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
kind regards

I am searching for information of the family of William Evans and Ellen Owens, Anglesey. I am searching with clues of information, nothing concrete like the name of a town! I would appreciate any information and/or help, as it may help me to connect the dots.

Arrived in Australia in 1850's as ships crew.
