Glamorganshire / Welsh Women's Peace Petition, 1923
« on: Sunday 08 March 26 13:44 GMT (UK)  »

I'm pleased to have found my Grandmother's signature on the Welsh Women's Peace Petition, 1923, now available to search online.

My late Grandmother was Margaret Wilson, of Y Plas, Treboeth, Swansea.

I'll try and attach it here.

If I had Jewish ancestry it would have shown up in the Ancestry results.
Why does Ancestry show me as related to many known cousins, MyHeritage to none?

Not everyone tests on the same Site?

I half hoped when I started this thread that someone would actually have an answer to accessing my dna results, a hidden way to pay a one off fee or some such. From the lack of suggestions I must assume there isn't one and the only way is via a subscription.
Seems to me that the whole cheap dna test thing is just a bait and switch scheme to get people to sign up to a subscription. Without access to the shared matches and trees then what you get is just a list of names. Without being able to download this list of names I can't compare this test to the earlier imported Ancestry one unless I want to do it by hand, one at a time. So the whole thing has been, mostly, a waste of time.

Ancestry do lots of special and shorter term offers. There’s a thread on here dedicated to this very subject.

Plus, most Public Libraries offer free access to Ancestry and FindMyPast on Site.

And you can always request look ups on here.

I would go ahead and post the photos on here. You can always obscure her face if you preferred to do that. I'm sure that someone on here will be able to work out the insignia.

Thanks both. I’ve had no message to say it’s been received as yet. Hopefully something will turn up soon! 🤞

That’s interesting Zaph!

Did you get any sort of notification from MH that your results were in?

I sent my kit in on the 4th January, and so it might still be too soon for me still?

Was the genome sequencing part of any use?

I ordered a £29 test last week, it is supposedly now in the post.

There is a 30 day subscription free period which expires on the 4th March after which a subscription is due.

Pretty pointless from my point of view having a free period which starts when the order is placed and not when the results

There does not seem a way to pause with the subscription being due before my results are back.
Their AI bot has a low IQ, and when Live Person was entered it stopped responding and closed the chat with the message that an agent would be in touch via my eMail address.
Now I just cancelled the subscription free period and was immediately offered an annual subscription for £57.

In my experience, if you turn that offer down, you’ll get a phone call, offering a further much reduced offer 😉😊

I uploaded to My Heritage years back, when it was free to do so. However, when I uploaded my husband and daughter’s tests, I had to pay an unlocking fee of £36 each.

When My Heritage offered a DNA test with whole genome sequencing, I took up the offer and returned my kit to them in early January. I’ve heard nothing since, but when I logged on yesterday, it said that my Ethnicity Estimates had been updated. I don’t know if this is a generalised update, applying to everyone, or if it reflects my new test results?

Has anyone else on here had an info re: genome sequencing?
