Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Not the father
« on: Thursday 10 October 19 21:59 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all for your opinions.

Both my grandfathers are long gone, sadly. There is only my mum left and unfortunately she does not know anything, all a surprise.

Craclyn, I will take your advice and just go slowly through everything, not a lot else I can do.

Thank you all

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Not the father
« on: Wednesday 09 October 19 20:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I got my mum and dad to have their DNA tested about a year ago. The results came back and it seems to have thrown a real spanner in the works and I am struggling to find the outcome.

It would appear that the man my dad thought was his father, was not.

The test also suggests that the man my mum thought was her father, is not.

My dad's was not a surprise really, I think. Although my dad thought the test was wrong. My dad sadly died in January so he will never know any outcomes that come about from my research.

My mum's however was a big surprise.

The thing is how do I find out where to take my research to identify who the fathers are?

Is this sort of thing common with DNA tests?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi

I think I maybe asking a lot but is there any chance someone could have a go at restoring this photo. My dad died last week and this is the only photo I have of him as a baby with his mum and possible dad.

Thanks you

Hi All

Thank you for your replies. Tom 1893 is not the same Tom (Thomas) as I ordered that certificate. Thank you anyway Colin.

When the A site did military searches I found a medal card for Thomas.

I am curious about this photo because I cannot see him in it, yet he signed the back with love from Tom (well we think it is his signature.)

It definitely says April.

I did a little search myself about the canaries and only come up with this

http://www.remembrancetrails-northernfrance.com/history/armies/mutinies.html

I was hoping that someone would recognise a regiment or something or even the arm band.

Thank you for your input, hopefully someone may recognise something further on in time.

World War One / The Canaries April 1917
« on: Tuesday 24 July 18 20:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi
My cousin has found an old photo that we think may have someone we are related to in it. Our great grandfather, he was in the first world war in the 5th Gloucester Regiment. He was Thomas Henry Greening (birth unregistered) approx 1893 Tewkesbury.

This photo however says Canaries April 1917 on it. I cannot see him in the photo but on the back it says with love from Tom.

I am no good with military history and wondered if someone could tell me what regiment this is as we have no idea what we are looking for.

Thanking you in advance
Paula
