my husbands DNA shows Easter island and also Hainan Island off the coast of Hong Kong . How can that be when his family are from Heywood , Lancs. ?? However he has a 5 x grgrandfather , b 1798/9 , Amsterdam . A Sephardic Jew and they dispersed around the Mediterranean and South America . All very much a surprise . We did receive a match in Sth America from 37 markers but sadly no one replied to my e-mail . I have recently e-mailed a man who has an interest in Easter Island so I am hoping he can throw some light on this mystery . Shirley in NZ nee PIERCE ( Haslington/Wigan )

I do not have a dog in this fight, but I will point out that one should not really put too much stock in ethnic percentages of 3% or less. I recall reading that these low single digits can be nothing more than what is referred to as genetic "noise" which is not actually evidence one is descended from some exotic ethnic group. One MIGHT be, but the really small numbers are not much to rely on. The 41% South Asian is something to be taken seriously, however. I would still probably transfer the test results to GedMatch.com and see if their ethnic calculators yield similar results. When I originally tested at AncestryDNA, I got some small estimates of Jewish ancestry, which was something of a curiosity, but not big deal. When Ancestry later revised their estimates, this Jewish segment vanished entirely. As time goes on, and the number of tests increase, the number should get more reliable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cynthia brown" <brownca62@gmail.com> To: "Mike Morris" <morrisind@rogers.com>, lancsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2019 4:40:27 PM Subject: [LAN] Re: Surprises with family history Well, I am catching up on old post and I see thisone answers my question, "have you tested".

The next meeting of the LFHHS Pendle & Burnley Branch will take place on Wednesday 20th February in the usual venue, the upstairs meeting room at Colne Library BB8 0AP. The speaker is Steve Williams with a talk called, "Four Tins". It looks at military and social history using four tins - a WW1 Christmas tin, a tin of emergency rations issued for D-Day in WW2, a coal miner's lunch tin and a tin of Heinz baked beans; all have a Lancashire connection. The talk starts at 7.30pm - doors open at 7pm so there will be a chance to chat to other members and perhaps ask for help with any problems you have come across in your research. All welcome. The meeting room is upstairs but there is a lift available. The full address is Colne Library, Market Street, Colne, Lancashire, BB8 0AP. Please note: Colne Library closes to the public at 6pm. The meeting room is accessed via the rear entrance facing the car park which has no restrictions in the evenings. This door is locked once the talk begins (7.30pm) for security reasons, so please try to arrive in good time. See the website http://www.lfhhs-pendleandburnley.org.uk for further information. Application forms to join the Society will be available - please just ask. -- Colin Spiller colin@thespillers.org.uk

Lynne, Tell them to look on the Westmorland Lists...... I think they will find the names up there. Sheila (Fife)

Bigland are part of my PARSONAGE family. Most records are in the Cartmel area . I found them because Bigland was used as a first name in my Family. Then going further back it was a middle name . Then I found my BIGLAND was the wife of my 6xgreat grandfather John GIBSON who was the reverend of a church in Lytham from 1750 till his death in 1800. The family wanted to make sure the BIGLAND  name did not die out. This branch were related to the PRESTON'S. I don't have proof but the PRESTONS are where the city of Preston gets its name from.  The following is what I have on my 6xgreatgrandmother: 6X great grandmother Jane Bigland was born the 1st of September 1723 and christened the 19th of Sept 1723 in the Priory church, Cartmel, Lancashire. Her father was recorded as Edward Bigland. IGI Batch No. P005321 Other records say she was born in Westmorland, England. Another site says she was born in Beckside. This is about a mile north of Cartmel. Her parents were Edward Bigland and Agnes Muckelt. There was a Will for Edward Bigland. His wife was shown as Agnes, son Thomas and daughter Jane. The details are as follows: Agnes gets the goods and chattels. Jane gets 100 pounds Thomas gets 50 pounds three months after his apprenticeship ends. Thomas was promised 200 pounds in 1715, this to be written off. Since Edward Bigland of Beckside married Agnes Muckelt of Wood Broughton on November 4th 1722 then the promise of 200 pounds to Thomas in 1715 means this was Edwards second marriage. There is a christening for a Thomas Bigland, father Edward Bigland of Seatle on the 16th of September 1708. If Thomas was still doing his apprenticeship in 1727 then this could be the right one.   The following is part of a marriage record for John Gibson to Jane Bigland: Text: 10 Feb 1744-5 John Gibson, Parkhouse, Heversham & Jane Bigland, Cartmel. Bn: John Cowperthwaite, Cartmel Churchtown. At Cartmel. Book:  Lancaster Marriage Bonds (Marriage Bond) Collection: Lancashire, Westmoreland: - Marriage Bonds, Deaneries of Lonsdale Kendal Furness Copeland and Amounderness (Archdeaconry of Richmond) 1739-1745 Jane married John Gibson the 10th of Feb 1743. Jane died the 2nd of Dec and was buried the 9th of Dec 1796 in Lytham, St Annes, Lancashire, England. Best regards.

Re Clarkson and Bigland Just ran Clarkson through the Cheshire Parish Register Database for Baptisms and found plenty of Clarksons there. Nothing in the baptismal records for Bigland, but found a marriage for 1741. Hope this may provide some clues.

From the BBC: "Researchers are trying to find descendants of a forgotten World War One soldier whose remains were found in a Belgian hamlet. "Ministry of Defence officials think the soldier may have been William Cheetham Taylor, who was born in Manchester and served with the Lancashire Fusiliers. "They are now seeking to match DNA from the remains with living relatives. "The soldier is thought to have been killed in 1914 during heavy fighting in Le Touguet, near the French border. "The remains of six soldiers were discovered by a team of Belgian archaeologists carrying out a dig before a building development in the hamlet. "MOD researchers found two of the six to be unidentifiable, and are awaiting results from DNA tests from potential relatives of a further three, who were all found to be from the fusiliers...." "Research has established William Taylor was born in 1884 in the Newton Heath area of Manchester, the eldest child of George Taylor and Mary Ellen Cheetham. His wife was called Maud and they had a son called Albert...." "It is thought he had a brother called John who lived in Blackley, Manchester, and got married in 1912. He had two sons - Frank who died in 1992 in Bolton, and Albert. "Researchers think Frank's son David Alan Taylor may be living in Oldham."

Hello Beth, Thanks for the message, my query to June was to establish whether her Dowling people were connected to a friend who lives near me who has many "D's" in her ancestry. I have frequently used the index you mentioned at Family Search and although it was recently updated there are still many records not yet included. Neverthelesss, it is useful and hopefully your mention of it on this list may prove very useful to list members who live away from the county archives which for me are only fifteen miles from home.

Hello Rodney. I have just sent a message to June, thinking that she wanted to know about Dowlings in Hampshire, but she has pointed out that you were the one who had enquired. It's off-topic for a Lancashire list, but perhaps there may be others interested. Family Search have recently added new indexed records of Hampshire parish registers.
