Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry DNA Match
« on: Saturday 26 July 25 23:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi 4b2

That's brilliant guidance. Makes me wish it wasn't so late today, otherwise I'd go back online.
My friend has given me access to her list of matches vast majority are maternal, apart from the one detailed above and about three others. 94/93/56 cM. So a lot smaller. Two of those are the same surname, so once I've finished working down the initial contacts branches, that may be my next target.
Let's hope a few people on that side did the "marriage before kids" bit 🤣
Thanks again

Ok. I have the relevant numbers now, but am not understanding what the linked diagram is saying to me (sorry).
This (alleged) 1C1R shares 686 cM (10%) with my friend.
How reliable is the 1C1R description?
Sorry again. This is a new thing for me.

Thanks Zeph, for the link, and Biggles for the extra pointer.
I will need to go back to my friend for the cM info, as she only said 1C1R (and I don't really know enough about DNA to ask the right questions).
It might be another week or so, as I think she has to pay her monthly Anc sub after payday (other costs took preference)

Sorry, just to clarify. Ancestry is saying the match is 1C1R.
Due to the age difference between my friend and the contact, it is pretty safe to assume that my friend is the "once removed" bit, being >30 years younger.
The contact has been very helpful on sharing their grandparents info, which I am in the process of working down two generations, which (if the 1C1R bit can be relied upon) would include my friend's father. Always assuming of course no more out of wedlock events 🤪

Ah, so that description is not to be taken too literally then 😐

Hoping a DNA expert can help me out.
I am assisting a friend who has taken an Ancestry DNA test, to trying to discover who her unknown father is. Not necessarily to try to meet, just to help my friend "know how they fit" in the world.
Anyways, she has been fortunate to get a match (and they replied) which Ancestry is describing as a "first cousin once removed" apparently.
Just wondering how much this description of the link can be taken on face value. Or whether a certain degree of latitude should be exercised?
Advice gratefully received.

Wonder if this will make it any easier for FindMyPast to unredact entries in the 1939 register?

Other evacuated kids maybe. Or kids of the host family possibly.

If there are adults listed at that address too, you may be able to investigate if they had their own kids that may be of an age that they would still be at home and also still being redacted. If not, then probably fellow evacuees.

As he was 14, he would have been born around 1924/1925, he would, by default, be redacted. UNLESS his death was picked up by FindMyPast etc. The latter is more likely as he is male (no name changes) and he died in Southampton (i.e. not overseas).
Is there a redacted person with the parents? (thick black line). If yes, this MIGHT be him and if it is he might become visible in the New Year or 2026. If not, he could well be visible, but just not where you expect - evacuated somewhere safe.
