Donne, Anthony of Carmarthen and London born c 1693

[jacqueline cox]

Dear cprich,
 I should certainly be interested in connecting with any Donne relation who is trying to penetrate the mysteries of our family in the c16 and c16. I am pretty secure in Anthony Donne's movements from 1693 forward including his marriage to Grace Richbell, but many hands make light work. If I can remember how to send a pm, I'll send you my email adrress. If not I'll be back.
yours
Jacqueline

I have seen a detailed family tree on LDS of the Dwnn/Dunne/Donne family of Muddlescombe Farm, Cydweli/Kidwelly. Land granted in 11th /12th century.....even have a renowned poet in their midst!

I've traced my Donne ancestors to Robert Donne 1630 St. Erth, Cornwall, England, and before that, possibly to Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire.

You might want to compare DNA. 

Here is the link to my WikiTree family.

You might want to pm me with your dna kit details. I and my mother (Donne ancestry) have tested with FTdna, Ancestry and the results have been entered into Gedmatch, but I will not put them on publiv view, though I'm happy to share with other Donnes. How long have you been researching your ancestry, Joseph?

re Donnes of Carmarthen, and jillgrw and cprich in particular. I and my mother (great grandmother a Donne from early c18th Holborn, London then late c18th Greenhithe Kent, England) have dna tested and I'm willing to swap details with others who have.
It's very hard for trained historians to make sense of genetics!

Hello  Jacqueline,  I have been researching and developing my family heritage, day and night, over the past 16 months.  I broke down the brick wall that had been standing 20 years.
I am a highly trained database specialist, and this work is right up my alley.
Most recently, I began to separate the Dunn families, by their customs and traditions, but what has distinguished my family from all of the others, is religion.  We are Catholic.
My discovery that John Ross Dunn was Catholic, and that he had been in Cecil, Maryland, around 1735, led me to connect him with the Robert Donne family of Kent Island, Maryland.
You can see my work, all over Familysearch.org and WikiTree.com.
I have not submitted my DNA for analysis.

thanks for your reply. Since your ancestors were in Maryland by the 1730s and mine have never left London or Greenhithe just along the River, autosomal dna would not help to find a connection.
I fail to see how your first post, suggesting comparing dna, would be possible if you haven't dna tested, however!
Good hunting.
Jacqueline

Jacqueline, my ancestors travelled directly from Cornwall, England to the United States, in 1639, and my original comment was to your comment about Anthony, whose ancestors may have come from Kilkenny.
I would be speculating by believing that mine may have, also, but a DNA comparison would identify common ancestors.  While seemingly vague, to you, my DNA is not presently, made available to the public.  I never claimed that it was, but only that it could be.

We might all be descendant from this man.
