I.G.I RECORD Pritchard

[Gadget]

Hi Brian

Is your tree the g ap pritchard, etc...... on Ancestry?

If so, I see you've taken the Thomas and Mary couple as the line so far.  How certain are you that the Johannes Pritchard b. 1620 is the correct line?

yes it is Gadget. everything from before including the Thomas we are talking about is guess,based on an assortment of d.n.a matches. My matches include many from Caernarfonshire and around Herefordshire. some are in Alberbury too. That is why i am trying to fix the Thomas in question. you will see Elizabeth Pritchard 1710 and she links with a dna match of Speake bbut i do not match with the Speake tree. also Obediah and Thomas in the early 1600s in Colwall were dna matches. i am afraid its all assumptions and guesses though. its a great puzzle. thanks Brian

Hi, I'm a year or so late, but the name of Pritchard caught my eye. I'm just curious as to why you don't appear to consider the patronymic naming patterns in your research? I've always had to consider it when researching anyone born earlier than say, 1770-1780.

hi. not 100% certain on them, but i have recently found a recent significant dna match and that has an Elizabeth Pritchard 1710 in Whittington, which is very near Oswestry. also i have checked that a known match to Georges brother Thomas also has a good match. looking at Patrynomics. i did not find anything though. thanks.Brian
