Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA awful muddle
« on: Thursday 05 December 19 18:19 GMT (UK)  »
Having recently received my Ancestry DNA results am unable to unravel it.
Its quite crazy,how on earth can a couple born 1878 and 1880 with deaths 1940 and the male in 1943 respectively, have produced a child early 1940s. Am supposing the man had a relationship with a female of childbearing age,shortly before his death. Perhaps am barking completely up the wrong tree.
Help please.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Identity crisis

I totally disagree with you on this.
Every person has a right to know his or her birth right.Its a a nightmare not to know.
I have struggled for the past forty years at least, to find out my true origins ,due to very early memories I have always had,as a small child in another country.
My recent DNA test is certainly revealing my origins at long last.
Just trying to get my head around my Ancestry results.
It does not help however when close unknown matches revealed, refuse to answer.
Probably think I am after their wealth.
Any pointers please, on a straightforward approach to finding out much appreciated,thanks.

Hello Sera,Welcome to RootsChat.
Am so sorry to hear about your sister,but I have found the following message she sent to me on 3rd June 2014.Hopefully you will not mind if I post the contents because someone may come up with further helpful information for you.
By the way because I am a MacPherson my original research on Andrew was out of interest.

Lita sent the following 3 June 2014.,,,,,,,,

I have been reading quite a bit on the massacre at Long Nawang.I cried as I imagine my grandfather and his family being massacred there.
I was told he was asked to dig his own grave before he was killed.
He shouldnt have gone from Sarawak.There was a native Iban back then who told him not to escape
as the natives were willing to hide them but he didnt listen.
Things could turn out differently for him and his family if he had just listened to the native..
 
I have been trying to do research on the,, White Kenyah,,believed to be the child of Andrew Macpherson,who was rescued by the natives but up to now no one can help me on that.
Its very frustrating sometimes.
By the way Brionne, why are you having an interest in this issue.
I know Andrew has living relatives in UK and France.
I hope to share more information with you whenever I can ,and I hope you can give me information as well,do keep in touch,,,,,,

Please believe me when I say that I have posted this in good faith,upsetting though it may be for you, Regards Brionne.

You need to post three times before you can send any personal messages.
