Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Managing my sister's dna on ancestry
« on: Monday 06 January 25 11:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I think I've found what I was looking for, but am not sure if it's only because I added my sister to the tree.

In tree view, click on an ancestor and you have the option to add dna matches to that person.

If you click on that you are given matches to add to your tree if you wish. I don't really want to add other people's work to my tree without checking it first, but it is an easy way to find if you have matches to that person.

thanks for all the help

I don't like putting live people in my tree, but I'll try that

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Managing my sister's dna on ancestry

Happy New Year to you all

My sister's dna was tested on ancestry. As the family historian and being more computer literate than she is, I arranged it all and I am her dna manager.
Is there a way I can link her test to my tree so that dna matches show up when I am am working in my tree, or do I have to sort through all 20,000 of her matches to find the links manually?

yes

I looked at this marriage and wondered if Ann and Agnes were interchangable, but it appers not. Two Richards having families at Martinhoe and Mortehoe at the same time.

I've now had more time to look at this and found that there is a family of
 RICHARD and AGNES GEEN  having family in MARTINHOE 1738 - 1756
1738 Berry Anthony
1741 Agnes
1743 Alice
1744 Richard
1747 Alice
1749 Mary
1753 John
1756 Richard  in Parracombe

and

Richard and possibly Ann Geen having children in MORTEHOE 1739  1759
1739 Daniel
1742 John
1747 Mary mother is shown as Ann
1752 Grace  mother Ann
1759 Richard  mother Ann

I've been confusing the two families and am ready to tear my hair out

Does anyone have a marriage for Richrd Geen and an Agnes around 1737?

every time my daughter went to her doctor, he would ask if she'd gone to tell him she was pregnant and then said don't come crying to me when you've left it too late.
She was about 29. I was 26 when I had her and was considered a bit past my orime.

some of my family are shall we say 'smudged generations', nothing new there and why the sniggers? Jealousy probably

no mention of being a minor or not. I have just been reading about Parracombe marriages  one vicar Reverend J Fosse, refused to marry anybody for several years, because an hour after he married one couple, the went back to him and asked to be 'unmarried'.
Even though he remained in the parish for several years afterwards, other vicars did the deed. Unfortunately, the book is not specific in the dates, only that the vicar served there mid 1800s

oh, good grief, my heart goes out to her! Of course another explanation is they were hiding a pregnancy of an elder daughter.

I chose the 1741 birth, so I think I'll track the 1747 and see what I think happened to her.
At this rate I'll be sorting out the whole village- I would if I knew how
