Suffolk / Re: Jewish family in rural Suffolk?
« on: Sunday 19 March 23 13:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have become newly aware that I have 15% Jewish Ashkenazi DNA based on an Ancestry test.
That was unknown to me. The rest of my DNA profile was pretty much as expected.
The DNA matches within Ancestry pretty much rules out my father's side of my family as being the source. As it also does on my Mother's Father's side. No traces of Jewish Ashkenazi DNA anywhere in the many matches.
So my search takes me back up my mother's mother's line and to three people of interest, all of whom were born in and lived all of their lives in rural Suffolk: Great Bradley / Little Bradley.
1. My great grandmother Ethel Lousia Marsh born 1883 in Great Bradley, Suffolk.
2. My grandmother Florence Marsh (Ethel's daughter) born in Little Bradley in 1903/4/5.
3. George Arthur Mills born in Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1883. He married Ethel Marsh after Florence Marsh was born. They had a child subsequently - Reginald Mills in 1906.
For Ethel Marsh and Florence Marsh and their subsequent family lines the DNA matches also produce no Jewish Ashkenazi DNA anywhere. There are no DNA matches at all with any of the George Arthur Mills side of the family. All of which suggests that the only real source is Florence Marsh's biological father.
So, unless I'm really missing something, there must have been some Jewish Ashkenazi DNA in Great Bradley / Little Bradley around 1901/2/3/4.
Please, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
