Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Y-DNA Test
« on: Sunday 23 March 25 00:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. I got my DNA test results on Thursday. Mostly it was what I expected, about 70% England, 12% Germanic Europe. I did get 4% Cornwall, which was interesting as i don't have any ancestors from the West Country.
I suppose it's a time of waiting to see if can find my 3x Great grandfather. I have a few matches with people from Norfolk-Suffolk border with names i haven't got in my tree, so there might be a chance that i will find him through them.

Hi Bev,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes that all ties in with my research.
My 3x great grandfather was Isaac Fitches (1854-1902), who married Emma Mary Ann Rans Sangster at Tuddenham in 1881.
His father, and i assume your ancestor, was also Isaac Fitches (1819-1900). He married Elizabeth Kimmance in 1853.

Kind regards, Tom

Thank you for all the information, will go through it over the next few days.
I have a wider tree on Genes Reunited, with siblings for generations back to 3x great grandparents. I will put this into my ancestry tree sometime soon

Thank you again, Tom

Hello, long time no speak.
I have just had the ancestry DNA kit bought for me for Christmas.
I'm going to send it off at the start of January. Before I receive it, is there any thing I need to do whilst I wait? I have a tree on ancestry up to my 3x and 4x great grandparents so that should help with matching I believe?

Getting excited! Even though I won't get the results till February!

Tom

Thankyou for that Melba!
Are there tools on the ancestry site to match with other people? Or do i have to sign up to Myheritage to get better matches?

I still haven't taken the test  ;)
I was looking at prices and it seems the autosomnal dna test costs around £60, and the y-dna test about double that.
Is the database larger now for the paternal test and what would be the best company for y-dna?

Thankyou, Tom

The Common Room / Registry Office
« on: Tuesday 06 December 22 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there

I've just received the marriage certificate of my 3x great grandparents, Francis Colley and Emily Thornton.
I always wondered why i couldn't find a record of their marriage on ancestry/findmypast, and now i know why, they married in a registry office!
This was in 1876 in Driffield, Yorkshire. It's the first time i've seen this, has anyone else seen this with their ancestors? What building would they use? Maybe a town hall?

Kind regards, Tom
