FamilySearch offers free family history classes many of which are in webinar form and can be accessed on a home computer or other device. The price is right and a lot of the titles sound very worthwhile. Take a look at the April schedule at <https://media.familysearch.org/free-family-history-library-classes-and-webinars-in-april-2019/> or <http://tinyurl.com/y4yoyfqa>. If you take advantage of any of the classes, please tell the list about it and whether you would recommend it.

From <http://livelb.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/news/changes-to-our-fees/> - "From 1 February 2019, there will be changes to some of the fees we charge. "Archive boxes on repository shelvesAs a government department providing a public service, we are able to charge for some statutory services (as defined by the Public Records Act ) on a cost recovery basis. The Fees Order, which regulates our fees, has been refreshed from the last calculation which came into effect 1 April 2017. We are maintaining the standard approach in line with the HM Treasury publication, Managing Public Money, to set charges at a level that will recover full costs, ensuring that The National Archives neither profits at the expense of consumers nor makes a loss for taxpayers to subsidise. "There are both price increases and decreases, for example a digital copy up to A3 size goes up by 10p to £1.20. Currently, our research service cost £23.35 per 15 minutes, this will go up by £1.00 however, the charge for a copy of a naturalisation certificate will go down by 25p to £27.15. "As there is no legal requirement for The National Archives to digitise physical public records these services are by definition discretionary. We have therefore removed the following digital surrogate related lines: • The creation of digital surrogates funded by others (for a commercial return, or to widen access) • Reprographic charges (Production and Estimation) • Image Library (Serviced Copies – Colour Photograph) • Digital Downloads • Conservation for Digitisation "In addition to, but separate from, the Fees Order changes, we are introducing a fee for the provision of letters of no evidence of naturalisation, in the same way that we charge for certified copies of naturalisation certificates. They will incur a fee of £27.15 which is regulated to be the cost recovery price (i.e. the cost to The National Archives doing the work). "A full list of fees can be found here <www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/record-copying-prices-february-2019.pdf>" Don't shoot the messenger! Lynne

SORRY for the length of my previous email, had trouble snipping on my laptop. Liane Fenimore Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Bob Rust via ENG-EAST-ANGLIA-DNA Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 11:57 AM Subject: [EAGDNA] Re: 'Your father's not your father': when DNA tests reveal more than you bargained for

My maternal DNA is rare and in the X haplogroup which initially was thought to be the Caucasus – my thought was a female coming with the Romans as they were all over the eastern Mediterranean. Now that more people in Western Europe are being tested that finding is shifting for my subgroup under X and may indicate Saxon ancestry. On paper I am stuck right at the western edge of East Anglia in the mid-1700s. The Caucasus sounded very exotic but the Saxon would make more sense. I am also involved in a surname YDNA [and other types of DNA] group and we have many men who do not match their expected group. Others are thrilled when they do fit in, because they were stuck using records and could get no further back on their line. If they match with DNA, then they can refocus their search. YDNA testing has also corrected older genealogical research that was incorrect and continues to show up in family trees all over the internet.

What is surprising to many people, though, is how two siblings (not twins) with exactly the same parents and ancestors can receive different ethnicity results. After all, identical ancestors should give identical ethnicity estimates, right? “Well, it’s not that simple. In fact, it’s rather common for siblings to have different ethnicity estimates. There are several factors that can affect genealogical ethnicity. We’ll take a look at those factors here.” Also, if your DNA results say that you have 15% Irish ancestry (or any other ethnicity), You should interpret that as being ABOUT 15%. Ethnicity tests are not super precise. A second text by a different company might say 12% and a third test by a third company might report 22%. Ethnicity report are ALWAYS approximate. All three reports from the different testing companies will be correct.
