Interesting that you can trace your Blake family back to North Waltham. I was being somewhat dreamy as I mentioned the possibility of my missing William being possibly the progenitor of this family but have absolutely no proof except a missing William! That and the distance is only 13 miles. My own line never left the immediate area around Andover and appears to trace back to the mid 1400s. There are earlier records for Blake at Andover back into the early 1300s. I am beginning to realize that only by yDNA testing will I ever really prove my Blake line without a doubt. I have tested my brother at National Genographic, FT DNA, 23 and Me, Britains DNA and shortly will test him at Ancestry although only yDNA is studied by National Genographic, Britains DNA, FT DNA and 23 and Me.
