This blog is designed to record the findings of our family history, mainly for the benefit of the family, and to document the dead ends, the breakthroughs and the journey.
I’ll post the family stories as I’ve written them to now, and I’ll be grateful to anyone who can add further information or pictures, or point out errors.
Particular thanks to my sister Julia and my cousin Mandy who between them have done much more of the work than I have.

Ancestry DNA

Well this has been an interesting day.

Julia decided to have an Ancestry DNA test and today we looked at the results. We didn't find any near relatives we didn't know about, so we ploughed through about half of the not so near ones and found some useful clues for our research.

Oddly someone  (with whom with have a 4th cousin DNA match) had added about 200 photographs to the Hamilton family tree. Julia has messaged this person find out more. We have now been in contact and she has told us something of her family. So we are now on the hunt to find out how we are related.
