Take one 3xG-Grandparent week 5 26 Nov - 2 Dec 2010
This week, we are focussing on your father's father's mother's father's father.
If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board and put your 3x-great-grandfather's name in the Title. If you don't know his name then put whatever you like in the title! Copy the following form and fill in the answers that you already have, then over the course of the next week you try to fill in the blanks and everyone else helps you. If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up. Can you fill in all of the following information about that person: Name - "official" name and what they were known as Date and place of birth Names of parents Date and place of baptism - if applicable Details of each of his or her marriages - if any Occupation(s) - if any Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). Date, place and cause of death Date and place of burial. Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Memorial inscription - if any Adoptive or step-3x-great-grandparents welcome! Also you may post up threads for both your own ancestor and your OH's ancestor.

No idea!
My father's father's mother was illegitimate, so I don't know her father or her father's father's names!

Well, my father was illigitimate and doesn't have a father on his birth certificate. Can't go back very far in that direction!!! All I know is he was an American GI over here in the War. That narrows it down to several thousand.

If your father is still alive and wants to try to trace his father, he could try one of the Y-chromosome DNA databases, and it might give him a possible surname, although of course very unlikely to find a close relative.

You'd be surprised what you can find when you glean the facts, times and places. By the way it wasn't several thousand it was hundreds of thousands of GIs but there weren't that many bases the GIs were on unless your father was conceived in London - GI travelled in you could probably work it out. Where was your father's birth registered? Last edited by maggie_4_7; 02-12-10 at 19:18. |

My dad was born in Hammersmith, London. He thinks the GI's name was Bernard (he was told long long ago as a child, so it might not be right)... However, the surname is up in the air, though it could possibly be Smith or Smythe or something like that.
