Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: 3rd Cousin match and the mystery great grandmother
« on: Sunday 06 October 24 07:33 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone,
Many thanks for all the helpful replies.
Unfortunately I just can’t seem to get my head around the more detailed bits about dna matching!
It’s quite possible that I never solve the mystery, especially if her name wasn’t her birth name etc.
I have built trees for my matches and track each female born around the time my great grandmother would have been born.
Her daughter, my nana, was illegitimate and a story was made up to cover that up. Thanks to dna I unraveled it!
So she wasn’t adverse to fibbing a little bit!
Thank you all again.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / 3rd Cousin match and the mystery great grandmother
« on: Friday 04 October 24 03:24 BST (UK) »
I have a mystery great grandmother born c1891 supposedly in Kensington, London.
The paper trail has run out, and in fact I’m not sure the papers I have are accurate(possibly incorrect information given on marriage certificate etc).
I have previously hired a dna expert to search through my dad’s ancestry dna matches and she came to the conclusion that there were 0 dna matches from that particular line.
I now have a 3rd cousin match with 50cm.
Is it possible to solve this mystery with that small amount of cm?

The Common Room / Mary Catherine SMITH
« on: Tuesday 12 December 23 06:15 GMT (UK) »
I wasnt sure what country to put this post in!
I have a Mary Catherine SMITH who(on her marriage certificate) stated that her parents were John SMITH (soldier) and Eliza O’Neill.
Marriage occurred 1890 in Auckland, New Zealand.
She also states that she was born in Perth, Australia (c1863) but on her death certificate it says England(although I know that death certificates are the least reliable of the certificates).
On Mary Catherine’s son’s military records it says she was born in New Zealand.
I have searched but Mary Catherine or Catherine Mary doesn’t appear.
I haven’t found any further mention of her parents.
Does anyone have any tips advice?
Many thanks
