Dear All Can anyone guide me as to whether Cambridge University kept central lists of students who matriculated in the early 20th century, i.e. after the Venn's book on Alumni Cantabridgiensis. We are chasing whether a William Forrest joined the university as a student, probably around 1908/9. He never graduated, and may have been expelled (rusticated) from the university for making a local girl pregnant. He then seems to disappear, and is missing from the 1939 Register for example. Is there a centralised list anywhere for Cambridge University at this time, or is it letters to each individual College? Thanks in advance Brian Brian P. Swann

Clinton AncestryDNA actually have a more scientific method for doing the autosomal DNA matching. They are currently the only company who use phasing (a technique for sorting out the DNA letters into the paternal and maternal chromosomes). Without phasing we end up with a large percentage of false positive matches. They've also developed an innovative algorithm for filtering out the high-frequency matching segments which are not genealogically relevant. All the companies strive to improve their matching algorithms. Ancestry will shortly be rolling out improvements to their algorithms. You can find a description here: http://thegeneticgenealogist.com/2016/04/19/ancestrydna-plans-update-to-matc hing-algorithm/ Family Tree DNA are also making improvements to their Family Finder test and those changes should be rolled out very soon too. AncestryDNA try and make the matching process as simple as possible and their shaky leaf hints and DNA Circles can be very helpful, if you're lucky enough to have any. However, they do not provide a chromosome browser so that we can see a visual representation of our matches. I find the chromosome browser to be a very helpful educational tool to help me to understand the DNA inheritance process. The admixture percentages provide by all three companies should be taken with a large pinch of salt. None of the companies are able to distinguish between populations beyond the Continental level (ie, Asian, African and European). There are a couple of exceptions - Finnish and Ashkenazi DNA do show up as distinct population clusters. I wrote a blog post a while back comparing my admixture results across all three companies: http://cruwys.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/comparing-admixture-results-from.html Best wishes Debbie

Bob There are advantages in being in two different databases as you get a different range of matches so I would suggest testing yourself first at AncestryDNA and then doing the autosomal DNA transfer program to add your results to Family Tree DNA's Family Finder database: https://www.familytreedna.com/learn/imports/transfer-autosomal-ancestry/fami ly-tree-dna-family-finder-transfer-program/ In case the link breaks here's a TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/mkcbvnf This is the cheapest way of getting your results into both databases as you can't transfer FTDNA results to Ancestry.

Dear Tom and interested GOONS researchers, This may already have been answered, but I sent your original enquiry to my Sister, who speaks fluent Spanish, but she has been away and has only just responded. This is her answer:- The following section was indeed missing from the original translation: Habiendo precidido la manifestacion y Canges de las credensiales con que se presentaron los Comisionados para el arreglo de la antecedente Capitulacion nombrado por parte del Sor Comte Gral Ynspector Don Martin Perfto de Cos, El Ayudante Ynsp?or Don Jose, Juan Sanchez .... This section translates into English as follows: HAVING PRESIDED OVER THE EXCHANGE OF CREDENTIALS PRESENTED BY THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE FORMER SURRENDER NAMED BY SR.

Background -- in December 1835, the town of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas was held by Mexican general Cos and was besieged by people unhappy with the abrogation of the Mexican constitution of 1824 by General Santa Ana. I'm questioning the translation I find for a part of the terms of surrender, specifically article 18. This can be seen with Spanish and English side-by-side here (page 3): http://siegeofbexar.org/capitulation#cap3 Here is the Spanish transcription of article 18 and the English translation I find for it: The Spanish transcription: "Los prisioneros de guerra hechos por los dos exercitos hasta hoy, se pondran en libertad ?

"The commissioners, Jose Juan Sanchez, adjutant inspector; Don Ramon Musquiz, and lieutenant Francisco Rada, and interpreter, Don Miguel Arciniega; appointed by the commandant and inspector, general Martin Perfecto de Cos, in connection with colonel F. W. Johnson, major R. C. Morris, and captain J. G.

"In virtue of which, we have signed this instrument in the city of Bejar, on the 11th of December, 1835" I don't read Spanish well, but the phrase "Habiendo precidido la manifestacion y Canges de las credensiales con que se presentaron" seems to have been omitted from the translation. thanks, Tom End of GOONS Digest, Vol 11, Issue 173 **************************************

Philip Talbot Higginson followed his ancestors' footsteps and was a Lieutenant in the 73rd Regiment, unfortunately, when he was no doubt still a young man, the regiment was disbanded in 1763 and he was reduced to half pay. The following year (1764) he married Margaret Taylor daughter of Richard Taylor (Burke's Landed Gentry). I am finding that some of what is recorded in Burke's does have some flaws and so am wanting to find out more about this man's life in the army as well as before and afterwards. 1 When was he born ? 2 Info about half pay payments - when, where and how much ? 3 When did he die ? 4 Did he continue in the army ? There are numerous references to this family and his father Philip HIGGINSON but I am trying to find some info with sources. Mrs Valerie B Garton Dip FHS and Assoc. Dip L & A H.

John Looking in the 1851 census Jemima's birthplace is given as Shimpling, Suffolk, and the eye of faith can also see that that was what the 1881 enumerator has written. In the 1861 census in the Stanhope family (Jemima's maiden name apparently) we find Jemima LAWS, daughter33 born Suffolk and two lines later is Mary A LAWS a 3 month old granddaughter born in Middlesex, London. Not proof positive but I think this shows that Mary was Jemima's daughter. Mary Ann Selina LAW's birth was registered in Q1 of 1861 in Marylebone district 1a 453.

Hi Pat I am aware that this has been discussed at length, but I am just catching up with it. I looked at the FMP Easter Rising list to which you refer. There are three results for this man. The one you mention is indexed as Hameron Dunbar and the other two as J Cameron Dunbar. In the two references under J Cameron Dunbar, he is described as Major J Cameron Dunbar DSO RFA. In the one indexed as Hameron Dunbar I think we have a handwriting interpretation issue. J Cameron looks like Hameron, and RFA looks like RFG. I think this is because the A is written not like a capital A as you might expect, but like a lower case a. On the third line from the bottom, the name G A McFarland is written, where the A is in the same style. In RFA, the a is not quite closed so looks like a G.

Hi Valerie British army history of that period is complex. The records are at The National Archives, Kew. It might be cost effective to engage the servies of an expert to search the army records for this man, if you have not already done so. TNA maintains a list of independent researchers. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/paying-for-research/independent-researchers/ There is a drop-down menu from which you can select "Army - Genealogy and Biography”. I have done this in the past. It is not particularly cheap but is certainly cheaper than going to Kew yourself unless you live close by.
