I enjoyed it too. I wish they would also bring back The Secret History of Our Streets / My Family - such great programmes

Europe / Re: GERMANY: George BECKER aka BAKER German Birth

Hi Twizzlad, did you ever get any further with George Baker? He is the ancestor of my partner and my research has somewhat stalled with him.

Have you read the book about it, Spy Fever? It's fascinating

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Do shared matches NOT all share the same DNA segments?
« on: Saturday 23 March 19 14:44 GMT (UK) »
I am new to genetic genealogy too and it's making my head hurt. So far I have only managed to find a couple of matches with public trees whose trees actually have common ancestors - which is nice I guess, I know my paper trail was right in that respect.
Otherwise I am just going through high centimorgan matches, seeing who our common matches are, and sort of deducing what side of my tree they are from based on location/surnames etc (this is easier when, like me, you have some distinct areas eg one line is from Shetland) and whether they match with someone who I know to be verified from a particular line.
Not very scientific but it's a start! I haven't a clue how to break down any brick walls, as yet
