Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA 12% match
« on: Sunday 26 March 23 08:09 BST (UK) »
I did a DNA test hoping to find contacts for my birth father’s family. I now have a 12% match with a young man. Does this make him my half-nephew, i.e. that his mother and I are half-sisters? My half-sister on my mother’s side gave a 25% match. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Nanny Jan and Youngtug for your suggestions. I’ll probably try the Oxfordshire county archives. I now know that in 1946 the base was returned by USAAF to the RAF, and transferred in 1955 to UK Atomic Energy Authority. Several relatives are listed on electoral rolls for late 40s/early 50s as living at the camp - I wanted to know what it was used for then.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.

I am seeking information on Grove Camp/Hostel during the late 1940s/early 1950s. I had a relative living there for a few years. Was it a work camp or accommodation place after the war? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Garstonite,
A volunteer from Find-a-Grave went to Toxteth Park cemetery this morning. Section 4, Grave 37 is a private grave but there is no headstone. Section 12,grave 290 is a public grave but there is no headstone for Harriet.
With the time difference(I live in Brisbane) I wanted to let you know straightaway so you didnt waste time on your Saturday.
Thank you for your interest and offer to help.
Many thanks,
Colleen

Hi there,
I have looked at my records. Both Section 4/grave 37 and Section 12/290 are in the Church of England section.
The widow Jane Warren was born Jeanne Roissier in Jersey. She was married to Thomas Hills Warren, Lieut R.N, though he died in Jan 1832. He is the father of Jane Ann Goldie and Harriet (his second marrriage).
Roch Rupniewski was born in Poland, a particpant of the November Uprising. He became an exile in Jersey (one of many) and later England. He lived with Jane and her daughters for many years.
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. I understand the vagaries of the British weather; it has been a very wet month for you.
Many thanks,
Colleen

I am wondering if anyone visits Toxteth Park cemetery and would be happy to take a photo of two grave plots for me.
In section 4/grave 37 are buried: Jane Warren buried Jan 1875, Roch Rupniewski buried Dec 1876 and Jane Ann Goldie Warren buried April 1881.
I believe there should be a headstone/plaque.
In section 12/grave 290 is Harriet Duriez (née Warren) buried March 1883.
As there are 9 other burials in the same plot (including two from the local workhouse) this may be an unmarked grave.
Any help would be much appreciated.
