Family History Beginners Board / Re: Mother adopted - how to find where she came from
« on: Sunday 17 September 23 17:51 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all for your responses. I know my father and have a lot of the family tree- from his side.  I have 3 siblings that are from my mother with different fathers. One of them has had his dna done and also has the Jewish connection. I am waiting for more info about my mothers adopted name - she and my father have died. My mother kept in touch with my older brother so I know she was adopted through him. Thanks for the really helpful information.

Family History Beginners Board / Mother adopted - how to find where she came from

My mother left me and brothers when I was 6 months - After doing my DNA i discovered that on my mothers side I am 36 percent Jewish. The problem is my mother was adopted. I have her name - but how would I go about finding anything else about her background.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Critchfield/Evans Marriage
« on: Friday 15 September 23 23:41 BST (UK)  »
This is so interesting - I am just starting to research my family. My Great, Great Grandfather was William Thomas Critchfield. He was married to Emily who was born in Glasgow and their daughter was Jessie Matilda Critchfield who was my great grand mother. My Grandfather was called Raffaelle - I am assuming he is named after Jessies brother who was called Raffaelle Garbialdi. I am interested in why he was called such an unusual name.
