Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: 23andMe declares Bankruptcy
« on: Saturday 17 May 25 10:11 BST (UK)  »
Going back to OP. Anyone else get an email from 23andMe full of legal jargon? It went to spam and might have been a scam but it did not look like the usual scam material. Seemed to be about the hack and indicating a cut off date if you wanted to sue them over loss of data. Obviously did nothing more than delete it but just wondered if they are sending out mass emails?

Pro Tools is not worth £7.99 per month on a repeating basis.

Yes, that is why the free month offer is interesting. Unfortunately I don't have enough time at the moment so I have not taken it up. I am hoping it is still available when I have more time. I am guessing Anc are assessing how many do not cancel after the free month. Not many, I fancy.

Anyone else being offered a free month on ProTools? $10 per month thereafter which is strange as I am on Anc UK. First noticed the message yesterday.

To conclude. John's mother's MS was Brown.

I still cannot connect my matches Henderson line to my own however I am off to look again at the John Henderson b ca 1781 at the top of my tree. I have never found a BC for him only a MC. I will look for him in Irish records given the information posted by SS.

Thanks to all and especially SS for your efforts on my behalf.

Apologies but I have been out and I only picked up latest messages just now. Thanks to all who have replied.

GC1 - The crop is from a SP marriage record. I think the forum rules do not allow the full record to be posted. I now accept the surname is Brown.

Softly Softly - Many thanks for your efforts. I much appreciate your assistance. I do hope you are not out of pocket. I am trying to link my Henderson line to a match on MH. I have built up his tree from a female Henderson at the top through the line posted by GC1 on Family Search. I will need to study your posts in more detail tonight as again I have to go out. I have been trying to trace my Irish ethnicity since my test in 2020. It looks as though you might have found it!

I will update this thread tomorrow.

I read it as Brown myself but I cannot find John Henderson's birth record on SP ca 1838 (calculated). Tried searching for parent names John and Mary but nothing like Brown comes up. I was hoping someone would come up with an alternative.

GC1 - Yes that is the family but I'm not sure if Brown is correct.
