This makes interesting reading. I found it whilst looking for a couple of my ancestors who committed "suicide" in the Thames.

Hi jorose
All matches in question are on my maternal side. My cousin and I share my mum's maternal grandparents.
I shall take a look at WATO as you suggest.
Thank you

The Common Room / Where to look - Shared matches

« on: Sunday 11 May 25 08:18 BST (UK) »

Hi all
I have a 2nd cousin showing in my match list, and i know who he is exactly where he fits in.
I share roughly 50 matches with him that are 4th cousins or 3rd cousins once removed or thereabouts to us both, and also mostly the same relationship to each other.
I and my 2nd cousin are both originally Londoners, all the matches in question are all in USA and are all African American. I do have a tiny amount of African DNA according to Ancestry
Any ideas as to our MRCA

Hi all
Does anyone know where I might get a copy of A Share of Time, by Donald Low MC.
It recounts his time in the the same regiment as my dad in WW2.
Thanks

That's quite close numbers.. interesting.
BTW whoever bought the Warren badge was lucky, his service record exists. It actually says he should never have been enlisted!
