Have just used the Worldwide link to renew without any problem.  Think that's my fourth year now.  I'm very grateful to you for the savings I've made.

The Lighter Side / Re: What is your wildest coincidence?

I'm another example of discovering that someone I know is a distant cousin.  When I had my DNA test done I found out that a childhood friend from the next street was a 4th cousin.  The connection is through our late mothers, who were very good friends.  Such a shame they never knew at the time as they were both keen on family history.

Hi Higpoidius
Thanks for getting back to me.  It's been a while since I looked at the Turffrey branch of my tree so I will have another look and see if I can find anything to help you.  I was in contact a few years ago with two other people who were researching the name, I will get back to them and see if they have any updates.  Will let you know if I get anywhere.
Best wishes with your research.

I was very interested to read this as my 4 x Great Grandmother was Mary Turffrey, born approx 1774 in Leafield, Oxfordshire.  I've never been able to confirm parents or siblings for Mary.  However I do have DNA matches to people descending from a Thomas Turffrey b 1755 in Leafield, who had a son Thomas b 1785 in Leafield. 
So I'm sorry that I can't answer your specific question, but I was wondering if you are aware of how my Mary Turffrey connects to your Thomas Turffrey?
Many thanks.

The Common Room / Re: DNA - summary - worth it?

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!
