The Common Room / Re: Two (identical) birth registrations for same people 20 years apart
« on: Sunday 30 June 24 19:09 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much for the kind replies! One of the problems I've had is that I can't find a marriage with the same father surname at any time. Also there were two children with the same father surname and different mother surnames who also were reregistered at the same time as the other second ones. A real conundrum!
 As you say, I my have to get at least one of the certificates to give me some sort of clue byt it looks rather messy at the moment...

The Common Room / Two (identical) birth registrations for same people 20 years apart
« on: Sunday 30 June 24 15:55 BST (UK)  »
I'm struggling with this one and hoping for some clues. I'm looking at people born in the mid 20th century (so I'm not giving names!). There are original index entries and then, about 20 years later, all at the same time, all these children have second entries. I'm trying to think of a reason for this but can't find one. The surnames and mother's maiden names are the same as the originals and the originals are marked up to indicate that there is a subsequent birth registration An example has the second entry referenced together with "0500/S" against it.

I'm only looking at these because I'm trying to trace back from them (because of DNA matches) and the parents are proving elusive. All suggestions gratefully received  ;D

I'd not thought of that but it would certainly be a good idea!

I think that most useful aspect of these features (apart from the much wished-for and still not happening chromosome browser) is seeing what relationship a shared match has with other matches you both have in common. It's one of the two features I most like about MyHeritage (the other being the chromosome browser of course!)

Unfortunately, I have relatively few matches on other sites than Ancestry so the whole DNA hunt experience is proving more than a little frustrating  ;D

I'm sorry I can't help. Mick but I thought I would say that I have an extremely similar situation except that the person concerned only has herself on the tree and I am fairly sure she died a number of years back.

We have 391 cm in common and since I can only find her on Ancestry, DNA painter isn't much use to me as I can't, as far as I know, download her matched results.

If any genius comes up with a solution or hint for either of us, I shall be exceedingly chuffed :D

Having now worked it out and had a plausible guess, perhaps you could delete this topic Shaun? Thank you.

Why not add it as an attachment in the normal way?

Besically because this is my first time posting on RootsChat for very many years and I not only couldn't remember how to do it, I couldn't find the button or anything  ::) . Am editing my post.. should get better soon.
