Hello everyone. 

My AncestryDNA results were:

69% Great Britain
22% Europe West
5% Ireland/Scotland/Wales
Low Confidence:
3% Scandinavia
1% Finland/Northwest Russia

I downloaded my Raw DNA Data to Myheritage and FTDNA , the results were:

Myheritage:
47.8% Scandinavian
43.6% English
5.4% East European
3.2% Italian

FTDNA:
47% British Isles
46% Scandinavia
7% Southeast Europe

I think ancestrydna's results are completely different to  myheritage and FTDNA's results.
My question is 'would you say East European, Italian, southeast Europe are the same as Europe West? (Would Italy and East Europe come under Europe West) I'm confused.

I've not traced any Italians in my family tree, why did this not show up in ancestry's results too? 
It would be lovely to have Italian roots but could this DNA result be a mistake?

As for the high percentage of Scandinavia I suppose this could be as most of my family are from Yorkshire and east anglia, but if so wouldn't it have shown as a higher percentage with ancestry instead of 3%?

Which company would you say is the most accurate?

It would be great to hear about other people's results from different companies too, have yours been different?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thank you for reading
 

Hi

I am trying to find a death for my gg grandfather.

This is a possible death record for him but it's in French and very difficult to read.

He was Joseph Shaw and died age 79.  He died in prison in Montreal, Quebec. 

He had no family with him as they were in England at the time of his death and had no idea where he was living, but he was married.

If anyone could help with the translation of the attached record this would be very much appreciated. (Hope I can attach it).

Thank you

Hello

I've been trying to find (for quite some time now), the parents of Robert Elliott born about 1752 In the Dewsbury/Batley (Hanging Heaton) area.

He married Hannah Wainwright on the 11 August 1791 Dewsbury all Saints.  It does say he was a widower and from Batley, a clothier.  He died on 6 November 1832 Hanging Heaton St Paul, Dewsbury/Batley.

His son George was born about 1792 Dewsbury.

I've searched but have had no luck in finding out who his parents were so I'm at a complete dead end.

If anyone could help/advise this would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi
Bateman Ward born 1776 Bildeston, Suffolk and died 1860 Ipswich.  He married Hannah Cullum and they lived in Ipswich.  Their daughter was Hannah Ward born 1800.
 
There is also a Bateman Ward born abt 1780 from Bildeston who married a Susan Hollox, he died 1859 Bildeston.
 
I can't find any record of parents for Bateman Ward born 1776 but there is a record for Bateman born 1780 (his parents were Bateman Ward and Elizabeth Jennings).

These cant surely be the same person as they married a different person and died different years, but how many Bateman Ward's could there be born around the same time and same town of Bildeston?  Bateman isn't exactly a common name.

This is so confusing.  If anyone could help find a record of Bateman born 1776's parents that would be much help and greatly appreciated.  Or if anyone could help confirm that there were 2 Bateman's that would be appreciated too. 

Thank you

Hello
I'm trying to do some research for a family member but unfortunately it is very confusing.
Olga Martino was born in Genoa, Italy around 1920. Her family were missionaries who went to India. This is where Olga met her husband Robert John Secker who was in the Army.
In 1940 Olga's daughter ^(*) was born aboard the ship SS Orcades but her birth is supposed to be registered in Bangalore.
I am hoping to find details of incoming passenger list of this ship as it was supposed to leave India for the UK, but cannot find anything, does anyone know where I could find the passenger list if there is one?
Also with India and Italy being involved, is there anyway I could ever trace any records, or is this just a dead end now for me?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you
