Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA shared matches verses paper trail.
« on: Friday 15 August 25 04:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi
just to answer some of the queries.
Yes i believe that 2 of my grandfather 1st cousins(who are brothers) left England and started  new families over seas. One in Canada and one in Australia.
DNA is from my mother who was 88 at time when she took the test.
Her father was 54 when she was born in 1932.
Her father  was born in 1878 and his father was born in 1844 the youngest child of the family.
So the 2 people in question fit in with being my grandfathers male first cousin and therefore their descendants are my mothers 2 cousins x removed.  I know the one that went to Canada is not the one that came to Australia.
With clustering i can see which family line the DNA matches are closest to.
So then it takes alot of research to check all possibilities and rule out the ones you can and investigate the ones that are left. And yes the one coming to Australia would be a bigamist.
Thank you for all your messages.

Thank you every one for the messages and advice.  :-*
Yes Galium the one that went to Canada has the same birth date as the one that disappeared  from London around 1892 but the birth year is different. That is one of the main paper trail reasons i think i have the correct man.  Cannot find a marriage for them and cannot find them on shipping records. Census records info differs one census to the next.  My mum has multiple DNA matches via 2 of their children that i have been able to connect but i still have 4 second cousin DNA matches in this cluster that i cannot connect. ??? Honestly this family is so messy.
Skeleton in every cupboard. ::)
DNA is an amazing thing and i would not have known any of this except for mums DNA test.

Thank you for the great info Biggles50. I will look up what you have suggested.
Yes Creasegirl i do have DNA matches with the new families and the old families that is how it all started. Absolutely no surnames in common. So i started to build trees from scratch to try to work it out.
DNA Match with the  One in Australia
Shared DNA: 106 cM across 3 segments
Unweighted shared DNA: 106 cM
Longest segment 42 cM

DNA Match with the One in Canada
Shared DNA: 111 cM across 6 segments
Unweighted shared DNA: 111 cM
Longest segment 23 cM

And this shows the match between the one in Canada and the one in Australia. They share no common surnames. 
Shared DNA: 183 cM across 9 segments
Unweighted shared DNA: 183 cM
Longest segment 43 cM

Hi Rootschat family , i have been struggling with DNA 2nd cousin matches for my mother. 
From what i can work out from many months of investigating shared matches using pro tools on ancestry, 2 of hers fathers 1st cousins left families in England and moved over seas. 1 to Canada around 1892 and 1 to Australia between 1923-1928, changing their names on the way and then starting new families.
I have contacted the DNA matches who either do not answer,  tell me i am wrong or have no idea.
I have done family history research for many years and i am very thorougher with my research. DNA is fairly new for me but i am sure i have worked the shared matches correctly using the cluster method.
Is DNA evidence enough?
Thanks Leonie

Thank you so much Lizzie you are wonderful.
Do you know what church christenings took place?
On the 1851 census James says he is born abt 1783 in Wallingford.
I have been unable to find a Marriage for James WESTALL that fits.
Poss John and James brothers??
Would be thankfully if you could look for a marriage for either John or James.
