Possibility/likelihood for DNA match from 1830?

[Lisa in California]

We evacuated last year.  We are trying to pack a few things.  Mandatory evacs have started.  So far, not close to us.  One advisory is near us.

We will not stay if it gets close.

Hope all is OK, Lisa.

Please pop back when you can and let us know how you are.

Hi Ruskie and Bearkat; thank you for your concern.  We do not yet have a mandatory evacuation so we are still at home and are taking turns napping.

We moved “here” 2 1/2 years ago (a rural area in California). Last year, we evacuated due to a close by fire so several hours ago we already knew what we needed to grab and toss into our vehicle.  We have a few little things left to grab should we receive an advisory to leave.  So now we are just waiting for any updates.

We were receiving automated phone notifications for evacuation updates but those stopped a few hours ago so hopefully things are looking better. 

As I just finished typing the above, we received notification that forward progress has been stopped.  Hopefully, the wind doesn’t change again.

Thank you again for thinking of me.  I hope to write again later today.  Lisa

Shipley is not far from Horsham but the surname Jupp is actually quite common in Sussex.

I also have Davey, Dinnage, Botting and Bett ancestors from Horsham.

Thank you for letting me know, coombs.  Mumford is not a common name (in North America, at least), yet the surname used to be common in Essex, England.  I think there was some sort of law mandating that Mumford males must be named James.  .  It’s funny how some surnames were/are regional.

I believe I’ve also seen Botting on my ancestors’ printouts (baptism pages).  However, I don’t remember seeing any Davey, Dinnage or Bett surnames. I think I’ve looked at the pages too many times in the past to be able to remember Botting and Jupp.

Update regarding the fire: we believe the forward movement of the fire is still contained.  Evacuation orders and advisories are still in effect.

We don’t know yet if any homes were lost during the night but so far they’ve done a tremendous job which I imagine is extremely difficult to begin with and they also have to contend with the current heat wave in California.

We remain packed and ready to go.

Thinking of you Lisa & family. Don't forget me as an already known DNA match with you . Came across  something interesting today re our matches in common on gedmatch, and I'm not sure if we have discussed this in the past

Reason I've only just seen this thread, I have been very ill with Omicron and complications since end of July , and am just catching up on e mails etc
Message me on my e mail when you are able please and stay safe

Hi lemur41.  Thank you for contacting me.    I will send an email when I can (tonight? maybe tomorrow?). I will also check gedmatch for our results (I think comparing two tests was fairly straightforward). I’m so sorry to hear about your illness.  I hope you are over the worst and feel much better very soon.  I am thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.
