I was adopted. Did my DNA on ancestry. There are two matches that do not knowingly belong to my birth family. So I wasn’t the only one who was adopted out!!!! I think they are both descendants of my grandfather - and not from the same families! One I think is half-sister of my mother, the other I think could be daughter of a half-sister (another) of my mother. My birth mother was 80 yesterday. I may make her aware. Life is too short. Adoptees usually have suspicions if they haven’t been told. There may be family alive worth contacting. Amazing we can do this these days.

Hello

I see you are looking for Crowe family members who have had their DNA tested. Sadly mine won't be of any use to you as I was adopted, so although I am researching the family as ancestors of my mother, my DNA is not connected.

Many thanks for all of this. Maybe Susan Senior died between 1851 and 1861. Can you tell me where you got the last info with the father's names? William Price who married Susan is my g g grandfather.

Thank you very much for this. There must be a connection, but will have to think about what.

My grandfather Alexander was born in Plock, Poland (Plotzke, Russia??!) in about 1896 and it turns out his name at birth was Goldstein, but became Goodyer when he was naturalised in 1919 - he was in the World War in the British Army and I have his naturalisation records.

Not sure why you couldn't put certain info from 1911 census on here, and why I can, but that will remain a mystery.

I will look at the information you have supplied - I couldn't find anyone on the 1911 census with the name which is spelt in so many ways, but there were three siblings to Alexander (who was in Middlesex in 1911 at a correction school) who don't appear to be on the 1911 census -  one called Aaron and another called Becky.

Alexanders parents were Joseph Goldstein and Sarah, who is described on Aaron's birth certificate as formerly Glas - can't get Alexander's birth certificate as he was born in Russia.

Many thanks for your help

This is a great help Kirsty thank you. I thought it was 72 as well, so to have a second opinion is very helpful. I am sure that the Christian McLeod born to Norman and Sarah would be the same family, so will have another look. Still haven't made the Skye connection - will have to check the detail with my grandmother who is thankfully still alive! (Norman is my GGGG Grandfather!)
