Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Using ethnicity to find unknown ancestors
« on: Tuesday 17 December 24 12:23 GMT (UK) »
Case 3
HJ My mother's grandmother Mary s grandmother was Scottish . Married Nimrod Gardner
The only ancestor from Scotland
Corresponding with her 8% Scottish Ethnicity
It took a long time to discover that her maiden name was BROWN and that her birth region was Dumfriesshire
HJ has a few matches which I suspected were from this ancestor
The top one apart from her half cousin and a
35cm contacted tree manager and learned that the matches mother was an adoptee mother's maiden name Oag
No connections to that surname so conclusion thru her bio grandfather unknown
That person has 84%scottish origins 12. shared matches with HJ
Including the half cousin who shares the grandmother with a Scottish grandmother
The next match by 48cm has 55%scotish and comes from a long line of JARDINE s from Dumfriesshire
Great grandmother Nicolas KERR 1844 also from Dumfries married John JARDINE whose mother's name was HALL .*which could be the link to the Northamptonshire GARDNERs
Next shared match 42cm also half Scottish again unsurprisingly no surnames in common on either of these 2as we didnt know Mary BROWNs lineage
Since recent developments he now appears on thru lines as 5th C1R
I will explain how we found her parents names and I'm now going to use pro tools with the remaining matches
From.21cm -34cm.
