Hello Rick,
Thanks for your Gedmatch number. You match my Mum and some other relatives, though I had to drop down to 3cM in the one-to-one comparison.

The match is on chroms 1, 8, 15, 21 with Mum; 1, 2, 5, 9, 12, 14, 21 with a cousin; 1, 4, 13, 15 with another cousin; 1, 8, 9, 15, 16 another cousin; 8, 9, 13, 16, 19 with yet another.

We all descend from Rev Richard Downing (a long time ago :)

I also did the 'people who match two kits', but that threw up different names in each set, so I won't pursue that avenue.

Regards, Dee

Hi all,
Another Downing descendant here. There are many of us from the Revd Richard and his wife Aphra nee Maunsell, then down through the Lloyd's of Tipperary.

I have my Gedmatch number if you'd like, and those of other relatives on that line, if you wanted to compare. The link will be a long, long way back however I'm often astonished to see old family connections in the paper trail confirmed by DNA in the various DNA sites. Some DNA seems have 'stuck' for a long time, down the ages.

Very interesting to read of all your research (Rob, Rick and Paul, and others) and I didn't know that Catherine (widow Downing) was hacked to death by rebels. How very gruesome. She would be my 9x Great-grandmother.

Best wishes, Dee
