Yolanda & Clint How many genrations back before you make a link to other "DNA testers" ?

Hi Mike, My husband, Clint's, Boyd line was concentrated in the Borders of England/Scotland until they moved to South Africa in the 1890's. Clint is part of the U-198 DNA group and I would be interested to see if anyone else who is researching this area has had a DNA test and can help us determine if the families in this area are indeed related at some point.

Clint and I were a match (67), same distance as I am with Calvin Boyd.

Hi Christian My Boyd ancestors spent several generations in the Borders area of Scotland, before migrating to New Zealand via Yorkshire, England. One distantly related group moved to South Africa. I have no DNA references, but if you can send me names and dates of birth of your Borders, forebears I will see if they match up with any if mine. kind regards Brian Boyd (born Welington, New Zealand 1935) now living in Melbourne Australi................................................................................................................................................................. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian D.

Hi Mike, We have never made a "link" with a known ancestor as all of our trees are too recent. The matches I have had contact with at a genetic distance of between 3-4 at 67 markers have mainly been living in the US and can trace their roots back to Ireland, but generally stop in Ireland. They are often still looking at the 1700-1800's. We have never had a match with someone who has links to either England or the borders region of Scotland, but our tree is only 9 generations deep at our oldest known ancestor in the 1730's.
