Introducing Patrick John 'Paddy' Cummin's youngest son

Last night, Thursday 19th February was an interesting night.  Whilst sitting here waiting for severe TC Marcia to cross the Coast of Queensland a few hundred kilometers up the road being and being hammered with sheets of wind and rain I decided to log into FamilyTreeDNA and check the status again of 'Uncle's' Family Finder test.  Results for batch 606 were initially due 11 Feb, then 18th, then 25th.  Once your myOrigins results load you know you are getting close to receiving full results.  SURPRISE, his myOrigins results were loaded!  Yippee!

Emily May Davis (Scobie/Miller) 1895, Tamworth, NSW - 1967, Fremantle, NSW

Emily May Davis married James Warren Scobie then Charles Miller, her profile is now up on WikiTree.

Still have a brick wall on her paternal grandparents George Davis and Fanny Jones, hopefully the DNA will help knock it down.  Emily's line through these grandparents is on Peggy's X Chromosome.   See further down the page for this chart.

Charlie 'Charles' Miller 1894, Bingara, NSW - 1949, Fremantle, WA

Pop on over to Charles Miller's profile at WikiTree, his biography is now complete, if you have information to add, please leave a comment on his page or if you have photo's please share and add them.  How fantastic, 5 DNA connections, we have an awesome family, thank you!

At times like this when I complete a profile, I feel total awe that we started out with Mum's parents names only and total magnificent appreciation in being able to get to know this family as though we really did meet them and know them is nothing short of miraculous, thank you to all the family along the way that have shared the history to bring this to fruition.  This is as much for you as us, Rhonda and Peggy x

George Melrose & Jane Schofield


George Melrose was a Sapper & Miner with the Royal Engineers.


George MELROSE and Jane SCHOFIELD sailed from Plymouth, UK on 9 August 1852 and after being at sea for 122 days arrived in Tasmania, Australia on 9 December 1852. George was a Sapper & Miner of the Royal Engineers. Later the family moved to Sydney and George became a licensed Surveyor.

This maternal Melrose branch has been transplanted to Aussie soil for 7 generations so far.

This Melrose history is a collaboration of work compiled by Tim Carter, Susan Channell, Sandy Liddle, Peggy Lucas and myself.

WikiTree: Melrose DNA and Name Study

In my post "Surname: Melrose DNA Study"; 30 December 2013, I expressed my desire to trace our Melrose DNA and in particular try and connect with descendants of Thomas Graham Melrose who immigrated to Quebec in 1848 and married Anna O'Neil later that year.  To further explain how DNA works, our objectives and show the percentages of how the 5 tested so far are related, I have created a project page at WikiTree Category: Melrose-DNA Name Study.  Drop by and check it out.

Here is a background post about the two Thomas Graham Melrose's that we have been working to identify; http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MELROSE/2003-07/1058716518

Unidentified Photo #0131 - Family, Mum, Dad & Girl - Wishful Wednesday

Photo #0131 from Emily May Miller nee Davis' photo album.
Are you able to assist in identifying this family?
On the back of the photo is written Emily, 
but I think Emily has done that herself to identify it as her photo.

It's interesting that there is an extra hand on the left shoulder (looking at the picture) 
and the person has been left off in the printing.

Unidentified Photo #0134 - 3 Gents - Wishful Wednesday

Photo #0134 from Emily May Miller nee Davis' photo album.
Can you help identify these gents?

I am 'wishfully' hoping this unidentified photo is of John Charles Davis with 2 of his sons.
Are you able to assist?

Unidentified Photo #0146 - Girl playing accordian

Photo #0146 from Emily May Miller nee Davis' photo album.
Can you help identify her?


Unidentified Davis - Mundy - Miller Photos

NOTE: These photo's and her whole album are now available on our Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/LucasFamilyHeritage/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1153193184734779


Can you help place these people in our family tree?

Here is a list of unidentified photo's taken from the Photo album that belonged to Emily May Miller (Marco) nee Davis that was passed on to her daughter Thelma Vinci nee Miller (Marco) and is now held by Thelma's daughter Toni.

My Ancestry Composition at 23andme including Split View

Thought I would post my Ancestry Composition according to 23andme.  I'm quiet impatient for the day we can knock out those 'Nonspecific' assignments!


Conservative ancestry composition for Rhonda


Speculative ancestry composition for Rhonda
This one is more interesting!

Standard ancestry composition for Rhonda
This 'standard' chart is is the one shown when you first check your results.

_..._..._

As both Mum and I have been tested I am able to view the Split view, this is the best part of having a parent test especially as in my case my father has been deceased for 14 years, thanks to Mum I am able to view a breakdown of his composition!  To me this is priceless.
