Hi  again
 thank you for replying.

I will check the family tree url and send it to you

I have attached the female line DNA chart. All the ladies with a pink dot may have descendants who would have the right DNA to identify the soldier.

Perhaps you know something about the soldiers sisters? I am of the belief that there would no females alive today who descend from these girls. Just checking if this is right


http://trees.ancestry.com.au/tree/71398119/family?cfpid=48353170418&selnode=1

is the link to the tree  in Ancestry

kind regards

Hi and so glad you are still out there.

The Fromelles Association has a coordinated  team of researchers here and overseas and we are actively working on all the soldiers who proved to have a brick wall.

we know that a Y dna donor was found by the army some time ago with no result.We are looking for the female line Mt dna, and would also like to contact the Y side. We do know that of the 144 soldiers identified so far, most needed both Y and Mt dna  to be positive, explained as 'although a weak positive is there, not sufficient for an ID, but two weak  responses makes it sufficient'.

Have gone back to the UK Cumbria area for soldier's mother's sisters.  (Margaret Lowther and 4 sisters) have an ancestry tree and a dna chart prepared.

Like you, I feel there is too much info to write here, but happy if you can contact me through our Ancestry tree site "Fromelles Soldiers" if you put in the soldiers name, that should be one of the public trees with his name, and we could go from there. The Fromelles Association has a face book page and you can also make contact via our coordinator the president Royce Atkinson.

kindest regards

Marg

Update re Arthur Mossop james

I snet for certificates from UK

His mother was unmarried and no  mention of the father,

Her husband she married afterwards, just in case he happened to be the father, got his cert as well, and he was illegitimate.

This one seems unsolvable
