Ancestry Results using ThruLines

 I first received my ethnic results from Ancestry. On its site for the last five generations technically I show up all white. it does not offer deep ancestry reports. However DNA results confirmed my theory that my paternal revolutionary war veteran Isaac Beman married Lydia Wix whose father Zephaniah had Native American ancestry. He was from Southern Connecticut. I was very surprised and pleased by these results.

Also on this side we finally know the Bakers were German. Gggreat-grandfather Daniel Baker's father was Rudolph Baker from Shenandoah Co, Virginia. The ancestor immigrated to Philadelphia before the revolution. 

Gggreat-grandfather Albert Galatine Gatton was the biological son of Galentine Gatton. No one researching the family thought he was. He was the eldest son and no documents have been found. It took me many years to find another man in my families, who just missed being entered into the 1880 and 1900 federal census records.

There were no matches for ggreat-grandmother Sarah Livingston. I know there are a few thousand Livingston trees on Ancestry. I wonder how many tested their DNA. Maybe they felt they didn't need to because the family is very well known in the area.

I am still in the dark about my great-great-grandfather Alexander M. Thatcher born in 1818. In Pennsylvania or Massachusetts? I still don't know. 

My maternal Wilson ancestor was different. The male line led to Fairfield, Connecticut and then Massachusetts. The biological father for Nathaniel Wilson born 1742 was Richard Wilson born 1715, not the Nathaniel many people thought it was. The immigrant ancestor arrived in Salem, MA, in 1638. That was very unexpected, but considering the very common surname, even duplicate first names Nathaniel and William, that's not unexpected. It was a big surprise to my maternal family because everyone thought we were Scottish. The Wilson trail led to Normanby le Wold, Lincolnshire, Britain. Thanks to a confusion in duplicate first names in Lincolnshire, this time Thomas and William, I don't know if the family came from Yorkshire or Fife, Scotland. At least I know Hamon Wilson is my ancestor.

On the same side I found out a distant cousin was correct about the father for my ancestor Joseph Peavler. His father was Christian Bibler. The original family name was Büehler. The family immigrated to the Germanna Colony in Virginia in the early eighteenth century. 

My ancestry was given as 31 percent German. I had no idea I had that much ancestry when I took the language in college. From my ancestry I could be related to my German professor Waltraut Deinert! She was from Hessen.

Those were the major corrections. There were a few additional parents added to trees, but I didn't get far researching them. All the other five generations of information were correct. There were a few additional parents added to trees, but I didn't get far researching them. All in all that is a pretty good confirmation of my research started before the use of records on-line.
