Looking at My Heritage matches, the  DNA matches to seem to be to descendants of Sarah Lingard Simkin through Nicholas Bonnitcha and Emma Matilda Brooks. At least six closely related to each other have tested and match to us.

It seems then that the connection has to be through Emma, I have over 8 thousand names on my tree with just one Moody, the mother of a husband of my 3rd cousin. I can give you heaps of info on Nicholas' descendants but nothing before he arrived in Hobart as that is a mystery - a brick wall that is 4 bricks thick.

We do match several Euphemia descendant’s. One is a father and son, unless that is some other connection?  I will take a look back from Emma when I have more time.

Have you thought of testing with Ancestry? Even if you do not match us it would be interesting to compare matches. I thought the company you tested with was more US testers. I know they all are, but I think Ancestry also gets a lot of UK and Australian testers. I can see that SP who shared with me gets far more Bonnitcha matches.

It is very mystifying!

I am on a pension mate so it is all about the money, and then you would have to join ancestry to get any meaningful info. I always had intentions of uploading to gedmatch as that covers all testing companies. It was through gedmatch I found Emma's side. Interesting you have Euphemia's DNA, maybe it wasn't Nick Snr but Nick Jnr? Nick Snr would of been 53 at the time of Sarah's birth while Nick Jnr would of been 19 and Jnr was a frequent visitor to Victoria to play football. What do you think.

I am still not sure how it all fits. It could be an NPE  but then if it is Jnr then maybe it is back from Euphemia and Scotland.  I have forgotten some of my thinking from last year.  I am time poor this week but when I have more days off, I will have a rethink. I wish this had come through even a week ago!

Ok, my brother Stephen, I wasn't aware he had done a DNA, I will have to ask him.
