(Excuse the poor photo) After using the #LeedsMethod on my 224 x 4th cousins & closer, how do I now interpret these results? I'm lost! 😄 #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #DNA #AncestryDNA

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

@glynjpwilliams Ok I’ll give it a go.

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

So today I thought I’d look at the #LeedsMethod with my #DNA matches. Only problem is I’ve only got 4 2nd & 3rd cousins, & 3 of those are from the same family! Question is, should I include 4th cousins to try & open it up a bit, or just not bother due to the lack of cousins?!

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

Been struggling with my research lately which has put me off looking, but today I thought I’d do some ‘sideways’ searching - the siblings of my 3 x great grandfather & their families, and my god - I’m on a roll here! Never had such luck! 😳😄 #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

@altwood2010 Sorry I can’t help, I hope you get an answer!

@Julie_Gfamily Yeh it’s not really priority at the moment, I’d imagine they’ll be inundated for quite a while once all is back to normal.

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

Can anyone tell me if the GRO is issuing certificates as normal, or is it closed? Just wondering whether to order a birth & death certificate or not. #BMD #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

Does anyone still use #GenesReunited for their trees?

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

@glynjpwilliams I’ve looked at newspaper articles on findmypast to no avail, but still planning on visiting Manchester archives to see what they hold.

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

Is it possible that someone could die in the UK in 1891 without leaving a death certificate? I can’t find any record of his death, or any burial records, he just disappears! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Death #BMD

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

@glynjpwilliams Great idea, I hadn’t thought of that, I’ll check it out, thanks.

This week I discovered @SteveRobinson01 & the #JeffersonTayte books, downloaded book 1 on to my iPad & read it in a couple of days..loved it! But I can’t get the other books, I either have to buy a kindle or order them. Think I’ll go the paperback route, can’t leave it at 1 book!

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

@prettydeadlady Apart from my daughter Phoebe, I have no females in my tree going back to my 4th great grandparents with a name beginning with ‘P’, Unbelievable!

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

How is it possible that a DNA match on Ancestry, (18cM over 2 segments), with a tree containing over 105,000 people, Not have any shared matches with me?! That just doesn’t sound right to me. 🤔🤷‍♂️ #DNA #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

[Genealogy_Benn @BPWGenealogy]

Am I right in thinking that people that received #AncestryDNA kits for Christmas should be getting results soon? I haven’t had any new matches for a long time, so I’m hoping for an influx of “4th cousins or closer” in the next week or 2. 🙏🤞 #FamilyHistory #DNA #Genealogy
