Making DNA work
FOR YOU
Note that in Karen’s main image above the wording states ‘their’ as she manages her son’s kit. However, when looking at your own results it will state ‘your’ i.e. ‘These are the most common communities of your closest maternal matches’.
Q: Can you help me identify my grandfather?
CAROL WRITES:
Dear
Karen
I wonder if you can help me to discover who my biological grandfather was.
I have tested on Ancestry DNA and confirmed that my biological grandmother was Kathleen Wylie born 1898 in Belfast. Her father was David Wylie (corn mill manager, Belfast on 1911 Irish census). She gave birth to my father Benjamin Louis Wylie on 1 September 1921 in the Clapham Maternity Hospital London. He was adopted when he was about six weeks old via a Roman Catholic organisation in London.
My father’s birth certificate showed no father but his baptism record named his father as Benjamin Goad, which I am sure now is not true.
