I have been looking for the parents for my orphan grandmother. This guy looked a promising candidate.

I have no information of his life in Scotland. If he is the right guy, he should have immigrated before 1904.

Would you be willing to share what details you have of your orphaned grandmother, her place & date of birth, marriage etc.

SS

As she is quite a close relative, I prefer not to share her closer details in public, but I can do it in private.

I will send you a private message.

If others are interested, please contact me.

I don't know have a subscription...

It is my ethnicity estimation which contains both Irish and Scottish, so that lineage is the one.

Could you give the link to those matches?

Yes, he should have been an Irishman or a Scot. Also: her both parents shoud have been died before 1922.

South Africa / Alexander Brown b. 1883 Scotland

Born in Glasgow, Scotland (1883), and died in Bloemfontein in 1920 of ”extent fever”.

Is it possible to get the following information?

– Year of immigration

– Who was his spouse

– Did he have any children

The death notice states that was married, so probably he could have children, but as the spouse is unknown it is difficult to say if she lived at the time of his death.

South Africa / Samuel Brown and Tema Grinberg
« on: Friday 27 October 23 13:29 BST (UK)  »
Is it possible to find their parents or any other information?

Samuel Brown, b. ~1859
Tema Grinberg, b. ~1872

Samuel's roots probably go to Britain. Tema is Jewish, and it seems that her maiden name was not Grinberg but something else. Grinberg probably was her deceased husband's name.

I would like to know:
- Their parents
- Where they were born
- Tema's first marriage

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / SNP poor region
« on: Thursday 07 April 22 07:39 BST (UK)  »
What are these ”SNP poor regions” in FTDNA's chromosome browser? Was there something wrong with the sample or what is it? How common are these?

Anyway these regions can't be used for matching, so probably some possible matches are lost.
