Hello! rootbeer!
Always great to meet another Winter. I did the Ancestry DNA test and recently uploaded the raw data to GEDmatch for further analysis. Sure enough...there it was. Of course it's not a big percentage, but does show my DNA goes back to the Central & South Asian region to include 'Sindhi'. I've also recently done the 23andme dna test and am anxiously awaiting the results from that one, which is better than Ancestry's DNA test. I also have a very good percentage of 'Eastern European'.
Can you further elaborate on our 'same line'? Do we share grandparents, cousins?

Hi. it was another researcher who told me of the link, i can trace back to harry Winter born about 1830's? he wed Emily Smith. i'm from another branch of the same family as you i think a cousin to Jacob but im still working on the connection?

that brings me back to the Dna. i have just put my results into the Gedmatch so hopefully soon 4/6 weeks we will connect and help solve Winter questions.

@rootbeer...this is what I have.
Andrew Winter
    Your 2nd great grandfather
    Birth abt 1821 in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England
    Death 24 Mar 1886 in Hunslet, Yorkshire West Riding, United Kingdom
His brother was:
Jacob Winter
    Your 2nd great grand uncle
    Birth Nov 1831 in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England
Does this info in some way compare to yours?
And GREAT about the GEDmatch. Please keep in touch...I can give you my Kit# at GEDmatch. Since last night I've been able to access the "Admixture" feature. But like you have to wait the '4-6 weeks' for full processing. So far, seems DNA bears out the Romany ancestry. Wonderful to meet another Winter....I've lived 64 years out of my 66 in the States, with barely any connection to my Winter family in England. Please feel free to contact me privately.
