Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Free Y-DNA Testing for males with the surname of Riddell or Riddle
« on: Today at 09:15 »
Thanks for your example Hurworth

We " know there WAS some panky

So if I've understood correctly

the surname list could show the surnames of the  unknown 2xgrandfather and his birth father

+ If people in USA are looking for their origins they could see the match + we could compare the paper trail + mutual matches .
There are clear DNA matches  to a Kentucky group of people but no idea how they link to Yorkshire

biggles how wonderfully you explain things

I hope i can persuade my cousin to take a Ytest he might like the idea of belonging to a tribe .

+ after all the hours i spend looking at his distant matches it would be good to obtain the likely surname

do they give indication of the Family name of the eldest patriarch in a group  + your close + distant matches like ancestry or do you have to work out fromthe Hapalogue group

ie this post was originally about RIDDLE

but if his male line descends from HARRISON FARNSWORTH OR WORLEY woud the 111 test reveal that

« on: Yesterday at 21:51 »
thanks for your suggestions

i will get on to the possible parishes on thursday when i go to Family history society

i dont know what happened to the husband not even sure of death date ..he may have been buried in a Jewish cemetary

although charlotte  must have converted to judaism in order to marry Hyam BENJAMIN
her son left the religion and changed his name to BENNETT in WW2 

I dont know if she would have been buried in a jewish cemetary

First I will order the will...
Then phone parish record offices see if they have anything

Thanks For your example Biggles

I don't understand the hapalog bit but if it can help identify surnames of great grandfather  s father to single mother HD it could confirm distant matches and confirm or disprove current theory

But if it's males thru generations
It wouldn't help with the birth father of SD  single mother to HD

What kind of cost would be involved.

Southsea if there is a single mother in the line  the paternal surname is different to the testees given surname  so it can help solve that kind of mystery regardless of a hapalog group
( Which to be honest I don't understand)
Looking at 1850s   ggggfandfathr
3rd cousin matches  so not really that far away

Reference Library / Re: *VERDUN AS A MIDDLE NAME AT FREEBMD SEARCHES.

Alma is also a biblical name .
& A name of it's own right in some languages

In Spanish it means Soul

I don't know the Arabic meaning it is used to describe dancers .

So Girls with that name probably not named after the battle .

Lanarkshire / Re: Lesmahagow - what Kirk Session records might exist for Brown/McReady 1850s?
« on: Yesterday at 03:32 »
Who was the informant for death certificate?

Could they be mixing  up Margaret's 2 husbands .?.mcready + William haddow  & even her father James

The 1851 census is a good indication that there had been a mcready common law husband

the couple may have veered from traditional naming system  and named 1st son after birth father because they weren't married

I'd speculate 2nd son would have been named after his  father  + they called 3rd son after her father

I had a similar case of a woman having 3 children before marriage with 2 different men. Their surnames alternated between her maiden name & name of man she was living with . I never found Kirk sessions but DNA linked to families + surnames of both men
