That's great Caz thanks
Are your YELLAND s from Cornwall too. There are a lot of surnames that seem specific to the area .

Had an overseas zoom with the American match and the Johnson descendant
They shared trees & DNA results

& We.re going to try and work up from the American Maryland descendants & down from the Cornish ancestors to see where the CA  might occur

[Cas (stallc)]

Yes,

My own Yelland, and others mostly based around the St Stephens in Brannel - St Austell, St Dennis area of Cornwall.

She has included all families that radiate out from the Yelland clan. It is very well documented and researched.

May help, it can't hurt.

Welcome Austen sorry I didn't see your replies before Caz

The naturalization document is a great find

If you post any more conclusions or finds on here it will be easier for me to find than searching emails

But if course you can't post anything. With living people

You can reference the person who you match thru Cornish ancestors
Willie lightbourn s descendant is a mutual match

Did you forget to include attachment in first post ?

[brigidmac]

Ps
 reply 18 George who you match is now deceased isn't he ? If not you have to remove that post or hide his name .

I think I had contact with his child or grandchild when I was researching the
Johnson connections

Have you started any of your own topics about any particular line
Or  commented on other Bahamas topics

The work you are doing is amazing ..I bet you have helped a lot of people en route to exploring your own origins

( Have you explored Scottish jolley connections? )
