Best mate has had DNA done.
We have now proved that her father IS her father, which is good.
But, when it comes to George Lanning, who married Jane Clements, matches appear to be with their descendants, nothing taking us back to Kington Magna, where the family lived for generations.
Best mate does not have an Ancestry sub, so the checking process is convoluted, to say the least.
I have no idea whether the many Lanning descendants from the village have decided they didn't need a test to prove who they were, or if they have taken tests and the Lanning DNA is so dilute that they don't show (she does have over 90 pages of potential cousins:D)
George was born 1770, so we are talking some six generations.
I have access to her log-in (she has no home computer) and will ask her if I can put her tree up, anonymising the recent generations. Would that strengthen the chance of us finding DNA matches?
Worryingly, (since George disappears into the sunset some time before 1813) I get more hits with the surname of Jane's second husband:d
