Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Bonnitcha DNA matching
« on: Today at 01:09 »
I am still not sure how it all fits. It could be an NPE but then if it is Jnr then maybe it is back from Euphemia and Scotland. I have forgotten some of my thinking from last year. I am time poor this week but when I have more days off, I will have a rethink. I wish this had come through even a week ago!

We do match several Euphemia descendant’s. One is a father and son, unless that is some other connection? I will take a look back from Emma when I have more time.
Have you thought of testing with Ancestry? Even if you do not match us it would be interesting to compare matches. I thought the company you tested with was more US testers. I know they all are, but I think Ancestry also gets a lot of UK and Australian testers. I can see that SP who shared with me gets far more Bonnitcha matches.
It is very mystifying!

Looking at My Heritage matches, the DNA matches to seem to be to descendants of Sarah Lingard Simkin through Nicholas Bonnitcha and Emma Matilda Brooks. At least six closely related to each other have tested and match to us.

As luck would have it, I returned to work the day you replied previous to which I had five weeks off to look into such things. I am working all weekend.
My great grandmother is the Tasmanian connection. She is Amy Louisa Moody born 1888 (birth registered as Annie) and her parents were James Moody born 1836 and Elizabeth Jane Johns born 1848. To have a DNA cousin relationship you have to have a common direct ancestor/s at some point. To me this does not fit with Nicholas and his own age or arrival in Hobart. I realise as a mariner that he could have been here before, but possibly not.
It is mainly four DNA matches to the same people on Ancestry to myself, my mother, my maternal aunt and her daughter. Apart from my cousin, we are all also on My Heritage. There is a shared match on Ancestry with another descendant of James Moody and Elizabeth Jane Johns. also, the person I have exchanged results with has one other Moody match to the next Moody generation back. also, a shared match to someone in Canada, who added Bonnitcha after I emailed, but actually has no known connection!
My other aunt, her first cousin, cousins two children and granddaughter do not get the DNA matches.

Hello Andrew,
It is nice to hear from you. Have you DNA tested? I do have access to one descendant of Nicholas Bonnitcha and Euphemia Fraser DNA matches, as mentioned before, my family also matching descendants of Emma Matilda Brooks. There is a close family group of which of number of members have tested and they are either on Ancestry or My Heritage, or both. They seem to be on Emma’s side. My close family seem to match many of them. I do not know if Tasmania is a red herring.

If you scroll down there are separate superintendents for Cowpen and Newsham Blyth Cemeteries.
I can’t see what year this is.
