Armed Forces / Help with understanding Royal Marine service record 1924 to 1945 - please
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 12:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I wonder if anyone can help. I have got the Royal Marine service record for one of my ancestors.
He enlisted in 1924 and there seems to be a record of continuous service until the record notes ”termination of second period of engagement” in April 1946 then “released” June 1946. At the top of the document it records “when re-engagement - 6 ? 1937”.
I am confused by the “re-engagement” term as his service appears to have been continuous - please can anyone enlighten me?
Many thanks
Mike

Thank you - that makes sense - perhaps he was William Charles but known as Charles.

I am looking at a passenger list from 1944 and it shows:
CUDD, Mary Concetta
-do-, Wm.Charles
Please does any one know what the “Wm.” means?
Many thanks
Mike

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Help with DNA puzzle please (it's driving me nuts!)
« on: Wednesday 23 March 22 22:09 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Gan Yam and brigidmac for your thoughts - all are really helpful!
I have my DNA with all the ‘main’ players; Ancestry, 23 and me, My Heritage and Family Tree DNA. With all of them I can see shared matches of shared matches and some of the sites unlike Ancestry will show the amount of DNA that the shared match shares with the shared match! I think this may be getting confusing but hopefully it makes sense!!
As you note 60cM is quite a lot so I would expect the MRCA to not be too far back; could be a not the expected parent event.
I don’t have any particular regions or surnames that keep cropping up other than a different issue or two. A) my maternal grandmother’s father is unknown - no father listed on her birth certificate and B) my paternal grand father is unknown- my DNA shows that I am about 22% Ashkenazi Jew and this must be from my paternal grandfather; as a result of this I get a large number of matches who share a small amount of DNA with me possible due to endogamy. If you have any thoughts on how to move A and B forward I would love to know!!

Thank you brigidmac for sharing your interesting story. I don’t have any theories at the moment but I will continue to search!

Not really - I just like to show off!! Genealogy is fascinating but sometimes DNA only adds to my confusion.

Thank you AngelaR - a useful thought and I guess what you suggest could and probably does happen.
In your example and talking at the limit of my DNA knowledge could endogamy account for your matches who match people on both sides of your tree?
