Hi Carol,

I'm new to this site but a few years ago I did my 'Harmes' family tree - my 2xgreat grandmother was Elizabeth Harmes who was the first generation born in Hammersmith. From memory, her father was Edward who was born to Michael (whos job title escapes me) but who died circa 1830.

I managed to take my Harmes back several generations -all in Bolney and near by, nothing German though! My great great grandparents lived in the same block of buildings off Kensington High Street in the 1860's and married a couple of years later.

Mark.

Hi,
I don’t know how long ago this chat started but I’m a fellow Harmes too and my family is also from the Surrey area. I recently took a my heritage DNA test and it came back with a tiny percentage of Finnish ancestry and I was confused but that might be where the Finnish is coming from. I also uploaded my raw DNA to some other ancestry sites (GED match and ancient ancestry) and both of them were coming back with large chunks of German ancestry from North, South, East and West Germany.
