Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Testing a Relative.
« on: Friday 08 May 20 01:05 BST (UK)  »
I have a relative who is willing to have a DNA test, but is not interested in family history. Can I buy a test and then retain the use of the results. I am on Ancestry and was going to use them.

What does one do after 30 years research with trees on Ancestry, My Heritage, and Wikitree and you discover through DNA that your biological father is not who you think he is.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Possible Relationship ?
« on: Wednesday 26 December 18 19:43 GMT (UK)  »
What is the possible common ancestor to two people who share 828 cms across 25 segments ?
We see no paper trail connection despite a fairly full tree on each side, apart from geographical proximity with our parents, grandparents & before.

Somerset / Hill of Mells

Does anyone know the subsequent history of Daniel Hill born 1809, Son of Daniel, born Mells, Somerset.
Is there anyone who claims him as an ancestor who has had their DNA done.  I would like to know if he is my 2x Great Grandfather.

Somerset / Hill family of Cheddar
« on: Saturday 28 January 17 17:00 GMT (UK)  »
I have a 20 year old brick wall.  My 2xG.Grandfather gave his birthplace as Cheddar on the 1851 census in St Just, Cornwall.  His name was Daniel HILL but he sometimes used Thomas HILL. Sometime after 1854 he simply vanished from his home & family.  I am interested in a Thomas HILL who was Christened at Cheddar St Andrew in 1807, born too Walter & Olive HILL nee FOORD. Is this HILL in someones tree and did he leave the area and marry my 2x G.Grandmother in 1838?

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Comrie of St Andrews
« on: Monday 14 March 16 23:30 GMT (UK)  »
I have a pile of photographs and odds & ends which relate to an Elizabeth Stirling Comrie known as Bessie. She died in 1997 in Perth, Scotland age 87. A spinster with no known surviving family.  Born in St Andrews, Fife, and illigitimate.  Several family and farming photo's.  Connections to Comrie, Perth, St Andrews.
I offered them to the Perth & Kinross Family History Society some years ago but they expressed no interest.  I would like them to be in the possession of a family member.

Cornwall / SEMMENS = HARVEY
« on: Saturday 05 March 16 19:25 GMT (UK)  »
Catherine SEMMENS married Samuel HARVEY 29 July 1791 at St Just in Penwith.
Does anyone know when & to whom Catherine was born ?
There are two St Just possibles:  Dau. of Peter & Esther, baptised 1 Nov 1772 and Dau. of John 20 Oct 1768.
Neither do I know Samuel's origin.
Any help on St Piran's Day would be apt.

Dorset / Portland
« on: Tuesday 01 March 16 15:34 GMT (UK)  »
I have several baptisms & burials for the STOODLEIGH name that are identical apart from the Church.  Findmypast invariably names Portland St George yet FreeReg gives Portland St Andrew.  Can any Dorset Denizen help ?

I am looking for the baptism of Jewel STOODLEIGH who married Hester KNIGHT in 1690 at Winterbourne Houghton.  7 x GGrandparents.
