Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Unnamed fathers .outside the box thinking
« on: Yesterday at 07:35 »
Okay, so for a smidge of encouragement, DNA tests have identified a half cousin from a mutual mother (she married twice, so paper trail too) .
Mother, each father b around 1810.
So if she had subsequent kids with the not father, I'd say there is a decent chance.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA to solve brickwalls?
« on: Wednesday 01 May 24 14:53 BST (UK) »
I've just submitted a test sample. What prompted it was the revelation that along with his wordly goods, my late dad (appears) to have left my siblings and I a half-sister (b 1949) . (whoops!)
She had managed via cousin-matching DNA to zero in on her great-grandparents, then her/our grandparents. A first name matching dear old dad was in the adoption paperwork, and theres a limited pool of grandkids to choose from...
so if this is yes/no question (can it be done), i'm going to have to say, yes

Found and purchased the correct birth certificate (father was deceased) and
found newborn as an unnamed child in household of his Paternal grandfather .
It's s good day today

is there any way of reporting a useless digital copy?
Mine is mis-aligned, so Father may or may not have a first name, and I cannot see mother's first name at all.
She's ann at marriage (1859) , unseen on birth certificate(1860) , Lydia at birth address(1861) and Ann Eccleston (middle name) at 1864 baptism...

Can you look at the address on electoral rolls and glean other residents to see if their forenames are unusual?
