The Common Room / Re: DNA - summary - worth it?
« on: Monday 17 March 25 10:28 GMT (UK)  »
Taking a DNA test has been a very positive experience for me.  I knew my paternal great grandfather was illegitimate and had an idea who his biological father was.  The test confirmed my suspicions.  I have managed to expand several other branches of my tree, and it's been lovely to connect with distant relatives who I previously didn't know.
A completely different experience for my husband though.  His DNA test bought the shock that his Dad is not his biological father.

Thanks for telling us about "The Deserter's Tale" being on offer.  I've been wanting to read this for a while but was waiting for it to be reduced to 99p on Kindle.  Will get it downloaded now!

I'm also having problems, I expect it's down to the Microsoft IT issues that are in the news at the moment.

Thanks Ians1900.  I have just found some details on Ancestry about Arthur Wilkins' Navy record so hopefully they might help me further.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Will DNA Testing confirm if I am related to another person?
« on: Saturday 15 April 23 14:41 BST (UK)  »
An update. 
I did the DNA test and I've just finally finished going through some of the many matches.  I have a match with my contact who is a direct descendant of Philip Small.  I also have matches with 37 other people who have Philip Small or his extended family in their trees.  I still have more matches to look at but I'm hopeful I have found sufficient proof here to be sure that Philip Small was my 2xGGP. 
Thanks again to everyone who helped me.
