Northumberland / Re: Early Records from Morpeth re Donkin
« on: Saturday 08 August 20 16:50 BST (UK) »
I have had my DNA tested on Ancestry and it is also on MyHeritage.
Samuel Donkin 1689-1791 is my 5x great grandfather.
I have a large family tree on Ancestry and I have many DNA matches ( people I share DNA with ). These people who are also descended from Samuel Donkin 1689-1791 and his wife Ann Wilson. In many cases I have been able to trace which path they have to the Donkin Family ( from Rothbury ).
My path is in Northumberland England and has some people who were born ' out of wedlock' and the father was not named. However using DNA matches to other people I have been able to trace my path to the Donkin family. My 3x Great grandparents are Robert Donkin 1775-1871 and Susan ( Susannah ) Donkin 1780-1867 ( they are first cousins once removed to each other ) So I have a an enhanced dose of DNA from from the Donkin line.
