Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry SideView Technology to be Extended
« on: Friday 07 October 22 13:04 BST (UK)  »
Went live for me last night at 7:30pm (Scotland).

All assigned matches looking spot on for me so for EXCEPT my closest match, a first cousin on my paternal side.

This was assigned to Both Sides and, as mentioned above, it does not give the option of re-assigning to paternal side. I've fed this back, hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

Thanks a lot.

I see it on the website but not on my app.

Website saying: "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Now I know where it is though will keep an eye on it.

Thanks again!

The Ancestry App was updated on 3rd Oct to version 14.19

Details of update states:

- New Sideview technology allows Ancestry to determine which side of your DNA your DNA matches come from.

Can anyone see this feature anywhere?

Hi Kelly,

Your Dad's Uncle Richmond Picken is indeed on the Bo'ness War Memorial WW2 Merchant Navy Plaque.Do you have any photos of him you could share?

I'd also love to see that photo of your Dad sitting on the Sunderland.His name appears n the Bo'ness & Carriden Parishes Roll of Honour as follows:

PICKEN, RICHMOND, 6 Newtown Cottages. R.A.F. No. 1573692. Joined, October 1942.

There is an entry also for:

PICKEN, MARY K. -same address-. WAAF No. 489283. Joined, September 1943.

Do you know who she was in relation to you?

All the best,

Hi Kathryn,

I'm fairly sure that in 1891 census she was with James Finlay Stanners (1836-1920) and Elisabeth Stanners (ms Downie)(1834-1907). I've seen Elisabeth called Betsy and Betty in other records.

J F Stanners is a descendant of Malcolm Stanners (b.1716) and Agnes Taylor (1722-1766).

There is a fantastic family photo of James, Betsy and their son Walter Stanners and family online that I can share with you if u send me a PM- Helen may be in it.

Is there any other info on the birth cert you can share? Frustratingly Scotlandspeople is down tonight so can't look at the official records. What was your great grandfather's name?

Hope this helps?

Makes total sense! In fact our common ancestors are James Crookston and Agnes Hogg. They are my 6th GGrandparents and your 5th GG, so by my reckoning that makes you my 6th cousin, once removed. My Ancestry profile is also Gow67. I don't see a DNA match with you but that is more than likely to be because we are very distant cousins and below the Ancestry cM threshold. I'm matching with another cousin descended from their son Robert Crookston though, albeit with only 10cM 1 seg. Are you matching with any other descendants on that line? Your Ancestry tree is very well researched I may borrow some info from it, with your permission of course?
All the best,

Hi Flowers,

Hello to you from rainy Bo'ness, Scotland.

Great to hear from you - what is your descendant line from our common ancestors William and Helen?

Also - have you had a DNA test on Ancestry so I can look out for you?

All the best,

G67
