Census and Resource Discussion / Re: How much do you expect the 1921 census to help your research?
« on: Saturday 24 July 21 22:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi there Do we know if 1921 census will cover Southern Ireland?
I recently found out my grandmother had been married before marrying my grandfather.
The year 1921 would be great to known her exact address rather than a area.

Meath / Summerhill Girls School Athlone
« on: Monday 14 June 21 23:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone, Hope I'm posting on  correct page. Summerhill Girls School Athlone County Meath.
My grandmother Catherine/Kate Kearns was referred there from Rathdrum Workhouse in 1912 until 1918 while her brother John was sent to St Joseph's Athlone until 1917.
I have seen some information about Summerhill but wondered if there would be any archive records from Kate's time there. This is a period she never spoke about and l have only learnt of this recently.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Which company best for Aunt/Niece test
« on: Wednesday 02 June 21 19:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi there many thanks for your replies- my 3/5 cousin is shared dna 31.7cms
Shared segment 2 largest 22cm.
Having looked at dna painted l think it would be 4x Aunt or Uncle.

I assumed the Aunt who tested would have shown up but didnt. The second wants to test with another company but am l correct in thinking that it should have show up on Myheritage ?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Which company best for Aunt/Niece test
« on: Wednesday 02 June 21 10:25 BST (UK)  »
Good Morning Rootchatters l need advise, having taken Myhertiage dna l found a distant link 3rd-5th cousin.
We were excited as the link could be my alleged father (now dead). So 3rd-5th tested her mother and grandmother just to be sure. When the results arrived shock nothing matched.
The grandmother is sister of alleged father so to my mind and theirs she should be my Aunt.
I have tested with Ancesty & uploaded to Livingdna a while ago but haven't had a link to my paternal side. We were all disappointed but lv accepted it maybe a coincidence and that l matched 3rd-5th  via her paternal line. Headache or what now another of my potential Aunts wants Us to do a British DNA one to one. Is it possible to do this? l don't want to clutch at straws but at the same time l was the one who got the ball rolling.
Please can anyone offer thoughts on this issue

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: 1st cousins

Hi Gadget
Many thanks for the reference links. Makes for interesting reading. So unless I'd totally misunderstood the cousins marrying would give a higher relationship reading for subsequent descendants. Hope that doesn't sound too wordy.
I found it interesting that some 1st cousins decentants of 1st cousins marriage could show up as 1/2 siblings
