Folks,
Thank you as always for your input.
Apologies that I have not responded more quickly but I have been tied up on other things and will likewise be away cycling in Devon for a few days so will not be able to contribute much in the interim.
I'm having a bit of an off-line discussion with Jane and Derek and hopefully we can find a way ahead in the next few week or so.
Best wishes to all.
Frank |

Hello all,
A while since I contributed, but, an update:
Still await information with regard Donald Tompson from the Military historian.
Other set-backs (as always) await clarification(s).
Nil-desperandum..! |

A slight variation:
I hope that ALL of our American contributors celebrate a great 4th July.
Thank-you once again for your invaluable assistance. |

At long last:
We've finally managed to get through to FTDNA and order Y-DNA 37 markers for Frank & Finn. Hopefully, when completed we should be able to prove our lineage 'beyond reasonable doubt'. |

Good news: Frank has received and submitted his sample. Finn has not long returned home from time away. He informed me to-day that his sample kit had arrived. He will submit same this coming Monday.
Hopefully nearly there. |

Good morning David,
I sincerely hope so...this has been a 'long haul' but if the result is possible, well worth it...even if a brick wall appears, it is not ended. I've learnt so much about genealogy since starting this project. It is, to me,an addictive experience. |

I have received information from the Military Historian with regard Donald Thompson. Private, Marine Royal born 29th October 1848, Wigtown, Wigtonshire, Scotland. This is the man I believe could be Kristian's father. Further inquiries are in hand which may be definitive...or not..!
Both Frank's and Finn's DNA samples are now with FTDNA...a few more weeks should give us our answers. |
