Hi Isabel,

It's worth a try - my GEDmatch kit is HS6656625

Well, on GEDMatch you and my mother don’t match at minimum segment 7cM but at 5cM - wow!  Probably MRCA at about 7 generations ago which is about right!

You and I don’t match at 5cM but if I take that down to 3cM, we have 10 shared segments.  That could just be DNA noise.  So I’d stick with my mother’s kit.

Fantastic!!!  In this case I'll celebrate 5cMs (and even 3cMs)

Hi Margaret,

I'm wondering if we're trying too hard to solve some things.  I checked out the Giddy connection on my mother's autosomal DNA and found a very small connection to Esdras Giddy's sister Honour who married a Thomas Bennet.  Michael Angrove was the tree owner.

But the thing that caught my eye in the Angrove tree was that the places were Liskeard, Saltash, St Germans, Callington, South Hill, Menheniot etc.  All places in my Cornish tree.  Prudence Kent, daughter of Tamar Denithorne and Ralph Kent was baptised in St Gluvias in 1713.  But she married John Sullefun in 1738 in St Germans.  I've never worked out how she got there - but if her mother's cousin Constance was in Liskeard ... is that the connection??  Did Prudence go and visit her?

And have these two families inter-married further down the line as well?  It's looking to me like we should share trees.  On Ancestry I'm IDCosgrove

Hi Isabel,

Yes, that would be a feasible reason to travel between the two parishes.

I have been working on my husband, David's tree for quite some time so have let my Ancestry sub expire, however David has a sub and I manage his tree plus both of our DNA tests. You'll find that most of the information for my Giddy/Giddey/Gedye line is more up to date on his tree:

david979  -  Williams Family Tree

margaretwilliams5  -  Matthews Family Tree

This is great,

Margaret
