Hello, I did a Ancestry DNA test and the best I have is 1 13% (906cM)..
As I have a lot of unknown for names I am more interested in heritage.
I am 65% Welsh, 23%Southern England and the rest Norway , Germany and Russia
My mother is 50% Danish (?) and probably 50% South England Counties
My father is a complete unknown.
Could a mathematician make an educated guess as to my fathers heritage please.
Many thanks for your time

Hi I've had a request from a lady at the BBC who wants volunteers 
I asked if it was OK to post on websites and she was quite happy so here goes,

So lovely to speak to you just now. I'm attaching the flyer here, so that you have all the information to hand.
If you could spread the word among the web communites you're part of that would be truly fantastic! Feel free to pass on my email,

cathy.edwards[at]bbc.co.uk

and my direct line at work, 0208 0083985.

We're also looking for people with less experience on the web, so do all get your less web savvy friends and family to sign up too! Here's the information they need:

We're looking for participants to take part in a fun, 15 minute test as part of our series Digital Revolution (www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution) - from a range of ages: 12 year olds, 18 year olds, 25–34, 45–54, and 65-74.

The test forms part of the 4th programme in the Digital Revolution series, 'The Web and Us', which looks at the fascinating question on whether (and how) the web has affected our thoughts and behaviour: www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution/makingofprog4.shtml. We're backing a piece of scientific research to get some objective data on how people think when they're searching the web, and are working closely with University College London's department of CIBER Research, who are leading researchers in this field.

They'll run the test at a bank of computers in their lab on Saturday 14th November 2009 between 9am and 11am

at UCL in the DMS Watson Science Library (Malet Place, London WC1E 6BT).

She wanta about 100 people and you DON'T have to be there exactlly at 9am

Hi, I have finally found my Grandmother's marriage
On the Index it says the district is Surrey NE , but as I don't know where the marriage took place I don't know where to apply for the certificate. It was in 1942.
Could some one please advise?
Many thanks

I recently bought an old English Bible and a few names and dates were in it.
They are
Elizabeth C Hittleton Cookham Dain Berkshire 1814
Edwin Smith born July 1848 (but originally  written as 1847 )
James Bastin died January 24 1869
I'm not sure if they will help anyone
All spellings are as written and as the writers spelling of bible is bibble  there are probably mistakes.

Hi I am helping a friend looking for relations . I have the two registrations  for the birth, but as neither surname is linked to the mother, how do I work out which is the adopted name and which is the birth name? Would sending off for the certificates help?
Many thanks
