Having our DNA checked out!

Having our DNA checked for ancestor migration.

This year as Christmas presents to each other. My hubby and I have had our DNA sampled and sent to have it analyzed. We want to see if we have so far successfully researched where we originated and came from.

I believe that it will show mine to have North European and Irish descent. My husband will be English, Welsh and Irish. But in a few weeks I will report back if this is correct. Find it quite exciting.

This year I plan to continue with family history and local history blogs with Birmingham, Solihull, West Midlands and Warwickshire topics at the top of my lists. Hope you will check back and please comment on our posts.

Family and Local History

War Memorial

Although I check and double check the information given for the War Memorial. I will have still made some errors. For this I apologies but I am only human. Due to the wording being difficult to read and my copying errors, its a wonder that I have not made many more mistakes. But there is also the errors that are on the War Memorials - names miss spelt or the name changed around with the middle name as the forename. There are also some errors caused at taking the information in the first place from relatives and also the stone masons errors. Some soldiers especially in the First World War did not give their real name and the fact that the regiment may be not attributed to a local one can cause problems when trying to trace ancestors. In all it can make it very difficult to trace certain brave soldiers.
