Hi Lynne, I've been lurking on this list for a long time. Posted a question a long time ago without  success. I would strongly suggest anyone answering this topic make it clear what ype of test you did, with which company and then explain the outcome. Happy to try and help with DNA question. I'll open by saying it does work but it all depends on what questions you want answered If you want to know your ethnic origins don't be surprised if your percentage makeup differs between companies. The figures are based on test results from each companies database. The results will vary and continue to change as databases grow. I think this type of test simply provides for a individuals curiosity. You can't do much with the result.So to DNA tests that help with genealogical research. Work out what you want from the following - Direct MALE line only going way back thousands of years. Then you should take a Y-DNA test. The bigger the test the more refined the matches. This requires a male to test.  Combined MALE AND FEMALE to find male and female cousins. But importantly only good for 5 to 6 generations back. After which the results become practically meaningless. For this you need to take a AUTOSOMAL test. This can be taken by a male or female. More advanced direct MALE line only testing is now based on Y-SNP testing. This normally follows initial Y-DNA, as above, to establish your haplogroup (in which major group on the human tree you reside). This is another male only test. FEMALE line only, that's your mother, her mother, her mother, her mother, and her ...For this take a Mitochondrial DNA test. Both male or female can take this. I have intentionally not mentioned the companies or their specific tests. Pick your test carefully. Don't be surprised if your matches have different surnames. Our use of surnames doesn't go back that far and there are lots of reasons for a sudden unexpected change.I'll give one example of a success story within one of my surname projects. Murray Waldren promised his late father to continue their 30+ year search for his fathers natural father. Murray's father was b. In New Zealand and adopted by the Waldrens.Murray took a Y-DNA test which came back with a match to a Jamison in America. He and his cousin in America have demolished both their brickwalls. Their research continues. We are awaiting the results of another Y-SNP test with a third surname.So pick your test carefully. Don't expect matches from day one. Don't expect all matches to have matching surnames. Order a test and put your flag in the sand and wait for a match to find you. If you don't then, well as they say - you have to be in it to win it. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any questions. George PS. Bad news spreads. So don't shoot yourself in the foot. If you don't have immediate success best not tell all your cousins. That's a sure way to deter them from testing. Leaving you never finding all those more distant cousins.

Julie I was lucky to have a genealogist who helped me with my Irish side, well my Mom’s Irish side. Had a piece of paper with my great grandfather’s baptism that led us to his family. Also had my great grandmother’s death certificate which led us to her family. Adding info we already knew. My Granddad’s (dad’s) family was very similar. With one certificate and family knowledge, led us to his side. I have found more info online and thru certificates also. Info that has backed up what we were told or knew. It’s a good feeling when you validate info. Stories you were told now make sense with this new info. I have actually stayed twice in our Murphy farmhouse that was first leased in 1821!! What a wonderful experience that was. It’s nice to see more info about Ireland on line. I wonder if they realize the fortune they can make with us Americans wanting to trace our families. Thank you for your tips.

Dear Maureen, If you can find out which Catholic parish your family came from in Ireland there is a very good chance you can trace your family. The National Library of Ireland has put microfilm copies of every parish in Ireland (as far as I know) online. You will have to search the microfilm yourself, but it is a wow of a resource and reflects great credit on the NLI and the Catholic parishes of Ireland. I believe the COI is starting a similar project or perhaps indexing, but it is nowhere near completed. Hope this helps. Julie In a very cold Queensland. _

Start here http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/poorsettlement Settlement examinations were part of the Poor Law. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/#PoorHouses Nothing to do with the hiring fairs part of the query, but I found a settlement examination for my 4x great-grandparents and it listed two children (born 1814-1816 and therefore never listed on a census with their parents) who I knew nothing about, so the examinations are worth checking out.

Thank you Pat and Elizabeth for your replies.Brigg is a possible and Nottingham maybe but I haven't found any Nottingham connections.Thanks also to Rex Johnson of Messingham also for providing old maps and addresses for various Morley families in the area. George

The details about hiring fairs was helpful. In the explanation, settlement examinations was mentioned. What are they and how do they relate to the hires? Thanks.

There is a Morley or Morley's yard in Brigg. I can try to find out a bit more about its origins tomorrow.

My 2nd Great-Grandfather George MARKHAM was (supposedly) born in Binbrook, Lincolnshire, England in 1801. He stated his birthplace as Binbrook in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census and died in Ulceby, in 1877. I have not been able to confirm his birth there (or of course his parents) in the records of the 2 churches in Binbrook (St Mary and St Gabriel) and many, many hours at the Archives in Lincoln, since I started my family tree in 1988. I have, in all this time, been ALMOST sure that he belonged to the family group William MARKHAM (1771-1830) and Jane SEARBY (1770-1830) both of Binbrook, as the naming patterns for George´s children fit (first born William, second Jane etc.) and the birth years for the 10 other children of William Markham and Jane Searby leave a gap in 1801. But never final "proof". Fast forward to 2018, although I have got much further back from the MARKHAM/SEARBY line in that time I hope now it has been fully confirmed by the results from 2 of my DNA Autosomal matches (we are 5th to 8th cousins) have been the matches from the parents of Jane, John SEARBY b. 1735 Linwood nr. Market Rasen and Ann WOOD b. 1731 married 19 Feb 1760 in Thorganby. Has that brick wall been broken although my paper trail went missing in 1801? I hope it has! Regards Philip Markham in Denmark
