It is 10 years since my Wife & I took our Ancestry DNA tests and it has been quite an emotional journey using DNA to validate our trees and to find missing relatives.
DNA has helped me solve some pretty big issues and so just when I thought we are reaching a point where I need to start consolidating what we have a curve ball gets thrown.
352cM, a new match arrived on Ancestry yesterday, she joined in January this year so reasonable to presume it was a Christmas present and the results are in.
Alas no tree and a user name of two female forenames i.e. “Susan Elizabeth” so not much to go on.
I can see our Shared Matches and having Pro Tools I can see what cM she has with each of our Shared Matches and I am her closest match.
My Grandma was one of 11, of the 11, 1 died in infancy, 3 were killed in WW1, 3 others had family and from each of these 3 there is a direct DNA match.
Of the 3 remaining siblings, 1 never married, 1 had no children and the remaining 1 had 3 children.
So the hypothesis is that the match is from one of these 3 children.
Unfortunately I have not yet been able to build a tree from this part of the family, the reason being in part a Harrison surname.
Fingers crossed that she responds to the Message.
