Y'all,
Down the years, the DNA geographical depiction for me has oscillated wildly, it has to be said. This has been very evident overseas; less evident for the UK. One UK constant has been the absence of ‘Bedfordshire’ for my geographical coverage.
I expected ‘lots’ of ‘Bedfordshire’ to show.
Stubbornly, the UK hot-spot area depicted for me refuses to go further south than a line from Nottingham across to The Wash.
My non-Carver mother is from East Riding, Yorkshire and the DNA-profiling for this side of the family ‘works’, in that a cousin who joined the pool unbeknownst to me, was accurately ‘pinged’ for me by Ancestry.com
I had thought all this indicated a likely break somewhere in my Carver lineage which contradicted the paper-based one for me – until recently.
Recently, I have been ‘pinged’ by Ancestry.com for people on the Carver side of my family tree and this DNA-based line links me back to Samuel Carver (1850-1902), my Great-Grandfather.
So, ‘confused of Bedfordshire’, I might well be termed.
Regards,
Neil (Easby)
PS: fyi: I am UK-based, although I was born in the States. Until very recently, I was a dual UK-US citizen.
