So a while ago I mentioned doing my DNA. Last week a lady reached out, it turns out we were a bit of a match… fourth cousins  from what I remember.

Anyway I decided to sort out my family tree mainly on my mother’s side. I have found loads more matches on both sides now.

I have ground to a bit of a halt as I am back into the mid 17th century.

This was early afternoon. I am now back two generations from John in 1710. William and Janet are the best match, with William’s father being about as far back as I can go. This my Grandfather’s side (Mum) with her mother’s side going back to about 1649.

I now have to delve deeper back into my Dad’s side. I have got back to 1815 with his.

Interestingly, two people have popped up in Australia and Canada.
