I have no objection to your scepticism, and indeed I have pretty much stayed out of the thread.

However, i thought you crossed the line with your rude comments about people who had had some successes. That's my opinion people are free to disagree.

How was my comment rude. I am genuinely pleased for anyone that has had success. I stand by that and no offence was intended. If any of these people are readingI hope you understand.

I did explain that in the original post I made and was considered in my comments, so I will not be engaging in a running debate on it
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

You dont always need DNA to see where you get certain traits from, certain illnesses etc. My Musgrave's have a history of heart conditions. And in regards to certain physical features, my great great aunt has the very same eyes as her mothers sister.
