    3. >From Manchester Histories: In 2019, the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre will be taking place remembering when cavalry charged to disperse a crowd of 60,000 - 80,000 people in St Peter's Field, Manchester. People had gathered to demand voting reform and improved economic conditions for working people, and the attempt to break up the meeting led to the death of 15 people and injuries to over 600. In partnership with People's History Museum, Manchester Histories have been hosting a series of meetings for people discuss ideas, partnerships and plans leading up to the commemorations in Greater Manchester. Whether you have attended the past sessions or not, join us for this third session to continue the conversations. Everyone is welcome whether you are an interested individual, a member of a history organisation, a committed Peterloo campaigner, an artist interested in responding to the commemorations, or a teacher planning something for your school. We want to share and hear as many opinions as possible. Please share this event with any friends or colleagues who you think it will be of interest to. If you have any questions about the meeting and how you could get involved, please contact Manchester Histories CEO, Karen Shannon on [email protected] or call 0161 306 1982.

    2. Martin Briscoe (W10 laptop)
    3. When I did the original Ancestry DNA I was getting matches of the order of 8 generations, none of which I was able to identify. I had one on the current DNA tests who shows 4th to 6th cousin and had lots of family in my home town but we could not see any common surnames. We have now decided that there is an illegitimate connection. We can't prove it but it does seem very certain. What I have found useful is to have several known matches in the tree, that makes it possible to test a new match to see which part of the tree they are related to or not related to. I wrote before that I have been able to be very certain that someone born in the early 1800s was illegitimate. I have found a second cousin but just waiting to get a reply to a message on Ancestry. There are a few other people we have found related to the family. What I really want is to get some of the Cumberland Briscoes with DNA samples so I can see whether we might be related to them.

    3. I don't expect great results from DNA testing but I find it interesting none the less. I mostly only check up to fourth cousins and even then I don't expect great things. It has matched any known relative I have who have also done their DNA, so I know it works for more than general heritage. To my surprise I was recently connected with a 5th cousin through DNA whose connection to mine is in the 1700's. It is a clear match and added 137 people to my tree. I agree it's a rare occurance, but it does happen. With my husband's DNA a match was able to tell us where his great grandfather originated from when no one in the family had any idea. So it's not all useless but you have to realize in advance you aren't going to suddenly fill your family tree with the matches you get.

    1. Re: [LAN] Looking for advice about DNA matches
    2. Ralph Taylor
    3. Norman, You didn't specify what kind of DNA test you did; there is more than one. However, from the number of "matches" (1240) I'm going to guess that it's of autosomal DNA. This number of matches is fairly common with atDNA. If so, don't worry about the "50 or 65 generations". The atD\NA matching is basically limited to five, maybe six or seven, generations of separation. Beyond that, the genetic signal gets swamped by background noise. Nor, did you say which company you tested with; it could make a difference. The "Big Three" in the field are Family Tree DNA, Ancestry DNA and 23andMe; these are reputable companies with databases suifficiently large to yield significant matches. If you want to follow up on some of those 1240, I'd suggest looking at the size of total DNA shared and the largest single shared blocks. In general, the larger the block (& the total) the closer the relationship. The four standard types of genealogical DNA tests are 1. yDNA STR -- for direct paternal lineages up to ~24 generations (roughly the time of universal surnames) and for males only. 2. yDNA SNP -- for ancient patrilines, generally beyond 24 generations (exceptions exist) also males only 3. mtDNA -- for tracing direct maternal lineages, many generations but more ambiguous,, both genders. 4. atDNA -- for indirect relationships out to about 4 generations, both genders. There are other, non-standard tests. But it's generally recommended to use them only in conjunction with the standard tests. Incidentally, I'm the administrator of a large DNA project for a common surname. I have to know this stuff. -rt_/) Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 18:48:28 +0000 (UTC) From: Norman Ashton <[email protected]> To: LancsGen Mailing List <[email protected]> Subject: [LAN] Looking for advice about DNA matches Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello Fellow Listers, I feel very fortunate to be able to trace my line in Lancashire back 10 generations. Recently, I had my DNA tested and I'm now getting email messages talking about individuals with matching DNA to mine. Apparently, I currently have 1240 matches, most of which are with 50 or 65 generations, too many generations?for my tiny mind to deal with. I'm at a loss as to what I should or could be doing with this information. I thought of building a spreadsheet with 1240 entries to see what pops up; of emailing some of the matches within more recent generations to ask if their lines went through Deane Parish or other Lancashire locales my people lived in. Acknowledging that I must not be the first lister to find himself in this quandary, I would like to petition for advice as to how other listers have dealt with this new information. No idea is too strange or too far outside the box. Thanking you in advance,Norm Ashton(logging in from Toronto, Canada and going through life like a porcupine in a room full of balloons!)

I notice that you don't say which graveyard - burials in municipal or privately owned cemeteries were habitually split (at least) between Cof (consecrated) and "the rest" (unconsecrated) so you need to be certain exactly what sort of a burial ground we're talking about. If you do a Google on the topic, you'll probably find all sorts of discussions putting more detail on than my fallible memory can. Adrian All who live in a Parish whether members of the C of E or not are entitled to be buried in the Churchyard. I believe there are sections which are not consecrated for this purpose. Sometimes it can depend on who actually does the committal There was a problem a good few years back where someone from my church (non-conformist) wanted to be buried in the Parish Churchyard and a grave in the consecrated section duly dug . However, the families had to wait in our church while another plot was dug in the unconsecrated section as the family would not allow the C of E Priest to do the interment words (it was agreed that this would be followed by a words from the congregational minister) which he has to do by Canon Law. How times have changed - no-one would object nowadays and in fact it happens with our older members who are buried with family in the consecrated section - the vicar does the burial of the ashes.

    3. One of my ancestors committed suicide. The Death Certificate read that he did it "a temporary fit of insanity", I think that was a common wording. He was buried at the parish church though the grave was lost when then they removed many graves. -----Original Message----- From: LANCSGEN [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Chapman Sent: 19 March 2017 11:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [LAN] burial in unconsecrated ground Hi Listers On searching the family search parish registered have found burial record for an ancestor which states he was buried in unconsecrated ground, would you assume from this that he committed suicide?

    3. Not necessarily - people of other faiths would be buried in unconsecrated ground too if that was the only burial space available. Do you know what religion your ancestor was?
