My DNA is in the lab, results should be in by August 26th.
I posted a newspaper article, of a diamond wedding anniversary, from 1933 in a Gravesend Facebook group and have been contacted by a distant cousin. I now have more pictures
Still no progress on the elusive gt grandmother yet though.

[Big Kev]

The lab were unable to extract any DNA from my sample, a new kit is on the way.

I don't think I dare ask why........

[Big Kev]

No idea why, sometimes it just doesn't work apparently.

I had exactly the same thought - but wasn't brave enough to put it in writing.

If I did that I think they would say I was related to a Soreen Malt Loaf.

It's a cliff hanger isn't it? I'm hoping for a connection with Pocahontas, but quite ready to be disappointed.

Pocahontas is, allegedly, buried in the town I was born in. Watch this space

I forgot another relative of sorts also came from that area but trying to find a Sarah Smith would not be easy , if related , then ironically she ended up in South America with her husband.

[Big Kev]

The results are in, I just need to understand them now

[Wendyf]

Exciting!

[Stanley]

He's going to be directly related to Royalty isn't he......

IF my Great Grandfather's other wife (who came from Gravesend as did her father) , is one of your relations we might be step-cousins somewhere along the line. (c1832)

[PanBiker]

My maternal grandma came from Wimborne in Dorset and previous generations of her family from Cornwall. In a watered down way that would make me partly more suvern than you. I'm OK though as my paternal side from the upper dales are probably from Norse stock.

Some must have bred with the last invaders as my surname is of French origin. Mongrel stock.

The most complex pie chart percentage of basically saying British ? ( sans Roman . which is interesting )

[Stanley]

That must be about as near pure-bred English as you can get Kev.
