Geneorama 2018

My husband and I helped in the Research Room at Geneorama which is the generally yearly genealogical conference held by the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. We had a number of people use the databases which had been provided to the event by Ancestry, FindMyPast and My Heritage. Since I am a subscriber to all three I thought I might write up some of the thoughts that came to me when people asked which one was the best. I would say right off the top that none of these services are better than the other they simply offer material sometimes similar but often quite different and from different areas of the world.

Because my ancestry is 100% England itself thus far (i.e. all of my forebearers were born in the counties of England except for my mother, her father and his mother who were born in Canada but their parentage was English). Three of my grandparents were born and lived in England to adulthood and in the case of my father who was also born in England his parents were close to 40 years of age when they came to Canada with him as a child of nine years.

I will talk about the three databases in alphabetical order as that is the easiest way to present them.

Ancestry offers a lot of American records which is one of the reasons I do not use it as often as Find My Past. I do not have any American ancestors but do have a number of American cousins (2nd cousins) and their descendants. Ancestry also offers a lot of British Isles records and on occasion I do use the database when I can not find a particular record on Find My Past. There are some databases on Ancestry that are not on Find My Past. Ancestry has a DNA service with over 8 million subscribers. For me this is the greatest benefit that I derive from Ancestry as I have four of us (siblings) on Ancestry and I have had a few interesting matches that have been quite helpful. Ancestry does not have a chromosome browser limiting the value of this service to my research project for phasing my grandparent's autosomal DNA. The ability to create as many trees as you wish in Ancestry is also interesting. They do offer hints which can be quite helpful.

Find My Past is the service of which I make the greatest use. Their databases are extremely helpful in my family research but also for my one name studies. They offer the 1939 Register which I have found extremely handy in my DNA research as well as writing up my family history. The military records are quite extensive and I found my great grandfather wounded after the first Boer War which exactly matched the stories which my grandmother had mentioned. I had a number of questions about Find My Past yesterday. Find My Past does not offer DNA testing and one wonders if in the near future this service will offer DNA as their two major competitors do do so.

My Heritage has a lot of European records which makes it very handy for my husband's research. I do searches on My Heritage but I make the greatest use of their new DNA database. They offer a chromosome browser which offer triangulation of results a nice extra. This database got a lot of use at the Conference and there were a number of queries about My Heritage.

1.   Blake Pedigree Chart – Blake Museum at Bridgwater, Somerset. This is a recent addition to their website: http://www.bridgwatermuseum.org.uk/

The Blake Museum has given me permission to put these charts in the newsletter so I will continue with looking at them individually. Part 1 was shown in Volume 6, Issue 4, 2017 of the Blake Newsletter. This Issue will have the image named as Part 3.

*Used with permission
Part 3 of the chart contains the full text of the Notes which were not legible on Part 2. The first note is of interest to the Blake Newsletter. A transcription: Notes (Note 1, Note 2) concerning the Blake Family copied from the “Pl manuscripts _____ 1690 “The Genealogie of the ancient and worthy Family of Blaque or Blake of great antiquity in the County of Wilts where they had large possessions at Quemberford, Calne, Hillcott with a fair mansion House at Pynhills, now the seat of the Family. A younger Branch whereof transplanted themselves into Hampshire and sitting at Easton town were owners of several other Manors.” “John Blaque, 2nd son, from whom the Blakes of Somerset 1690 are descended of which Family was General Robert Blake the famous General and Sea commander in battle famous for his many and valiant acts.”

This summary has been lifted almost entirely from the earlier chart produced by the College of Arms and requested by descendants of Daniel Blake and the following is a transcription of the heading of the above mentioned Chart currently held in at least two locations, College of Arms in London, England and the Wiltshire Record Office: “The Genealogie of the Ancient and Worthy Family Blague, Blaake or Blake of great Antiquity in the County of Wilts where they had large possessions in Quemberford, Calne and Hilcot with a fair Mansion House called Pinhills now Seat of the Family a younger Branch whereof transplanted themselves into Hampshire and settling at Easton town were Owners of that and divers other Mannors from whence the Blakes of Middlesex etc are immediately Descended faithfully Collected out of the several Visitation Books of the said Counties remaining in the College of Arms and Deduced to the Issue of Daniel Blake of London Gent Anno 1690.”

From this earlier chart there is a William Blake of Easton town alias Essington in County Southampton 4th son [of Roger Blaake of Cawne in County Wiltshire Esquire died 3rd of Queen Mary anno 1556 lived 57 years and Mary daughter of Philip Baynard of Lackham in County Wiltshire Esquire] deceased 1582 and married to Avice daughter of St Gervace Ripley or Ripley in County Southampton Knight and the chart is referring to this particular individual as having gone to Easton town in present day Hampshire (near Andover). They are listed as having four children Agnes married to Roger Hyde a younger son of the Hides of Denehworth in County Berkshire, Peter Blake of the Inner Temple Esquire 3rd son Barrister at Law and of Council to Queen Eliza died anno 1624 unmarried, John Blake of Easton town in County Southampton Esquire eldest son married to Margaret daughter of William Blake of Eastontown aforesaid and William Blake second son. When Philip Blake left his will he mentioned only his eldest son and youngest daughter. Other records have not included a son William but that doesn’t necessarily prove that he didn’t have a son William. The visitations do not mention a son William but he was living at Easton town where he is mentioned in the Visitations there. There do appear to be two William Blakes at Easton town in this time period. I have written about this particular family before and offered my opinion. I will for the moment let that stand as my thoughts. This is simply a reproduction of material from the Blake Museum. Thank you to the Museum for permitting the republication of their chart to this Blake Newsletter.

2.   Blake Surname Study – Progress: One Name Blake Study at the Guild of One-name Studies was originally undertaken by another researcher. In 2011 I because the researcher for the Blake-one-name Study at the Guild. There was already a pre-existing yDNA project run by Bill Bleak and he continues as the main administrator of the project. There are 162 members in the entire Blake DNA project with 95 members having yDNA results. Of these 77 have completed 25 markers, 74 have completed 37 markers, 51 have completed 67 markers and 23 have completed 111 markers. Fourteen members have completed Big Y. Fifty five members have completed Family Finder. Earlier newsletters have mentioned that the Blake surname has arisen spontaneously in several areas in England and the yDNA results point to the truth of that comment. 

A British Isles Ancestry. This group has five members thus far all belonging to I2. This is an ancient group in the British Isles named the “Deer Hunters” by BritainsDNA. Big Y has lately been completed for my line (N43038) and this line is distinct from the other four not sharing common ancestry in a thousand years or more. My line was at or within several kilometres of the Andover, Hampshire, England area since the early to mid 1400s (my father was born in England). The particular haplogroup I2a2b is found in low numbers across the British Isles and the highest percentage is found on the western side of Ireland. 

B English Ancestry (1). This group has ten members all belonging to I1 (I-M253). There is some variety within the group although many are matching on the first twelve markers. This group has a family history taking them back to the Wiltshire Blake family although no one has actually tested with a proven line back to the Blake family at Calne. 

C1 English Ancestry (2) (includes Blakes who descend from Theophilus Blake). This group has nine members all belonging to I1 (I-M223). The members are for the most part matching and all have a verbal history back to Theophilus Blake known to have come to the American Colonies in the 1700s. The original location within the British Isles is not yet known although Northern Ireland Planters (known as Scot-Irish in the United States) are a possibility being examined. 

C2 English Ancestry (5) and the single member in this group is also I1 (I-M223) but his markers are sufficiently different from the above group to place him into this separate grouping.

D English Ancestry (3) and this group belongs to R1b (M-269). All members are of the opinion that they descend from the Plainfield, Somerset, UK Blake family but no one has a proven paper trail back to this family.

E1 English Ancestry (4) and this group also belongs to R1b (M-269). Further research on this particular group will be forthcoming in the future. The paper trails for this group do go back to the Wiltshire/Hampshire areas of England.
E2 English Ancestry (Somerset Blake Family) and the single member belongs to E-L117. This grouping tends to trace their ancestry back to Roman times in Britain (possibly Auxiliary Roman soldiers). 

F1 English Ancestry (possibly descendant of the East Anglia Blake family) and the ten members belong to R1a (various haplogroup tests show R-M512, R-YP5320, R-M198, and R-Z283. No member of this group has a proven paper trail back to East Anglia and the Blake family at Swaffam Market, Norfolk.

G Irish Ancestry (Galway-Towerhill, Kiltolla – Blakes descendant from Richard Blake (aka Caddell) and the six members of this group are able to trace back to this ancient family in Galway with a number of them having completed refined haplogroup testing. One member of the group does post on the news feed for anyone interested in further information on this family.

H Irish Ancestry (includes Blakes descendant from Sir Thomas Blake is the opinion of an earlier researcher) and the ten members of this group do have some variety in their markers. None have a paper trail back to Sir Thomas Blake. 

I British Isles Ancestry is again an R1b group (many are R-M269 with some completing further haplogroup testing). There is too much variety in this group for them to have common ancestry. I would mention that I will be redoing this reporting of the Y haplogroups looking at the deep haplogroup testing which is the now recognized method of separating groups of results.

J T-170 is a group generally found in West Asia, Africa and Europe. No further information is known at this time.

K German Ancestry. The three members of this group (again R1b) trace their ancestry back to Germany. None of the members are closely related in any genealogical time frame.

L – G haplogroup and like E2 English Ancestry this group is thought to be descendant of the Roman Auxiliary in Britain.

M – E haplogroup and like E2 English Ancestry this group is thought to be descendant of the Roman Auxiliary in Britain.

X-Blake ancestry not in direct DNA line was established due to the Family Finder project and the results of the members being visible on the site.

3.   Blake autosomal DNA Study at FT DNA (Family Finder)
In some cases these are large matches and in other cases relatively small but that is the way with the inheritance of autosomal DNA. With each generation chunks of autosomal DNA can either be broken into smaller units or passed as a large chunk relatively intact. It is a purely random event. Due to privacy concerns it is not possible to produce a chart of the members who do have matches with other members of the group but each member is able to check that for themselves in their account. What would be helpful is adding a family tree to your account thus making it much more possible to find matching autosomal DNA cousins in your research.
The task of managing these groups is large and I will gradually work away at converting them to the new standard of placing individuals by their deep haplogroup testing. I would recommend that all members join the relevant haplogroup project to learn more about your haplogroup.

4.   Andover, Hampshire, England Parish Registers (Baptisms – set 1)
Andover, Hampshire, England has often been said to be the “home of the Blakes” when I have been writing to people in Hampshire through the years. I would say that Calne, Wiltshire perhaps has a stronger hold on that particular title although there are a number of other areas in England where the Blake family has been for centuries. When I decided to transcribe the Parish Registers of Andover I was surprised to find that yes there are a number of Blake entries but there are far more Blake entries in Parish Registers in other parts of England as mentioned. In this issue, I will publish the burials for Blake in the Parish Registers. These records are taken from fiche which have scans of the original parish registers. The registers for burials begin in 1586 and have provided me with a lot of details on the Blake family in Andover in the late 1500s and into the 1600s/1700s. Eventually I hope to complete my project of transcribing these Parish Registers for St Marys Andover beyond the early to mid 1700s.

Baptismal Registers commenced in 1588 and I will start pupblishing these transcriptions for Andover.

5.   The Future
I hope to continue with the newsletter for quite a while. At 72 years of age I realize that my time doing the Blake Study is limited so I would like to be able in the next ten years to hand it off to someone interested in continuing and keeping research ongoing into this ancient family. Although some believe that there is common ancestry for this family back to a singleton individual, that is simply not possible given the various haplogroups. The surname Blak[e] can be seen to have arisen spontaneously on the continent considering the number of males with the Blake surname who came to England between 1330 and 1550 from areas outside of England including various places in Europe and also Ireland.
