the most certain line we have is the female one - how far have you traced that line?

(( blushes ))

I'm doing a One Name Study on my mum's family - although of course most of those going back are male!!!!

On mum's line I am back to 1823, I have got stuck now so while away the hours finding paternal names on the London information on Ancestry:))

I can get the maternal line back to a marriage in 1777 but need to get to Bucks RO to do any more really.

female 1779 Scotland,,then its a tumble as everyone had a Janet,!with same surname,,,,,,!!!

Irish ,,not going there at all,,,,,

OH blood family one told even more lies.dont know how they showed their face in church........:}

Sorry, I didn't say it proper, I mean the line purely from daughter to mother to mother - it's reckoned it's the only sure one:)

Do you mean my mothers side or just the female line,Full stop?

All the way back to the Clan of Tara in 17001 BC>

(just a few little gaps to fill in between her and Mary Welton, born 1768!)

The marvels of Ancestral DNA!

haha mick ya show of lolol xxxx

Through my mother's line, back to 1739, and still trying for further back.

hi hun, mother to mother to mother (etc!) I get back to Amy Lagden (my 5 x gt grandmother) born about 1747 somewhere in north Essex or south Cambs. Can't find her baptism for love nor money ... yet :-))

I'm very interested in her cos she baptised her daughter Madame Sophia Phillippini Elizabeth - and I would LOVE to know why! as far as I can tell, she and her husband both came from good old ag lab families!

Oooh....no can do!! Well, not without a big pot of money to pay researchers and translators. My mum's parents were both Lithuanian.
The furthest back I've got is my g.granny who was born circa1860/1870 - nobody really knows. Difficult to get records.
Not breaking any records there then, am I???

However, doing my Dad's mother's side, following the female line, I'm back to 1760. Again, no great shakes, but better than nowt.

Does anyone know whether that the line that they use when looking at female DNA?

sorry it added twice

Just back to Gt Gt grandmother 1805, stuck with her Mother so far.

(That is Mother to her mother and so on.)

Going back from Father's Mother I get to Gt Gt Gt grandmother but about 1791 stuck there.

With certainty I'm back to a person baptised in May 1807. I think she was the daughter of the Daniel and Jane who married in 1804, but as we are talking JONES here, I can't be positive.

Uggers this thread is great and the theory is good, however in reality its full of holes I can get bk that way 6 gens including myself 7 if I inc my neices daughter but when I get bk to 5 x great grandmother Sarah her husband is a mormon and has several wives at the same time all having children at the same time I have 2 Elizabeths born between 1850-52 one is my 4 x great grandmother but which one as both their mothers are Sarah's lol x

I have traced two branches on dads line back to 1600's, and a number as far as early 1800s( thats easy).

But my mothers mother seems to have come from Mars, I can't demolish that brick wall yet, despite help from kind people on here.

Thanks everyone:)
