Two Newsletters

I do have two newsletters to write - H11 Newsletter and Kipp-Kipp Newsletter. They are both looking only at the DNA groups within the FT DNA study. I shall work away at them today. I always mean to do them as I used to a couple of days before the due date but writing books has distracted me from this task the last year or so.  In the case of the Kipp Newsletter I really do not know this family (it is my husband's family) and feel somewhat in left field working on it although I always did write a portion for Edward on the yDNA study that he managed at FT DNA. I took it over until someone does come forward to take it on. 

The basement completely cleaned yesterday and today it is the main floor and soon will begin that process. I also worked on the matches and I am about 1/3rd of the way through at this point I think. A new Rawlings/Cotterill match where the testing was at 23 and Me so a nice list of Relatives in common in this last batch. An interesting find in that the  Farley family does appear to have a Knight connection. This actually would be a step forward in solving one of my largest matches outside of family so we will see how that flows.  David Farley (son of John Farley and Mary (Yeates) Farley) married Mary Ann Blake (daughter of John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake) 12 Jun 1853 at Upper Clatford, Hampshire. Two known Blake matches were very handy as well. Today will see me working on the J's and there is a long list of them. I hope to complete Chromosome 2 this week and perhaps into Chromosome 1 which has over 250 matches and will take a good week or two to accomplish but then complete and I can start to use the file in ways that should give me interesting tables to explore with regard to the four great grandparents being noted in this particular rendition of the phasing as they match these five siblings tested (five tested out of three girls and four boys) of the great grandparents. I find I talk more about my brothers but they were all closer in age to me than my sisters (one sister is six years older and another sister is eight years younger). Just one brother is outside of that closeness to me as he is ten years younger. My prayers are very much with my older sister who had to have surgery lately and for a speedy recovery for her. 

I do feel a great desire to get back to writing the books Blake and Pincombe these days and a bit impatient to have that begin. But it is a process and will involve my transcribing the latin documents that I have at hand with regard to this Blake family way back in time. I feel I can progress from Robert Blake who left his will in 1521 living at Enham and will begin there initially. If I can take it back further I will but time will tell me that as I work through the material. With regard to the Pincombe book (which is really Pencombe as that was their surname when they arrived at North Molton it does appear) I can begin with John Pencombe who is on the Tax rolls and work my way forward but there to I have information on the Pencombe family of Pencombe Herefordshire which can be added in once I have transcribed the documents at hand. In this case I am working on a family that probably came from the modern Belgium area of the Continent perhaps in the early 1100s as there are records back that far. I  shall have to have a look at the archives there to see if there is anything. But the yDNA line points to a European line and not a Western Hunter Gatherer as is the case with my Blake line. 

But also I want to start scheduling myself to work on the index of the photo albums and to start collecting matches using Edward's present charts and the Excel files that I gave to him as I downloaded his matches from Ancestry. I need to see if any of them are on Gedmatch. Unfortunately collecting from 23 and Me did not happen in his case although he has many many excellent matches there. I may try writing to people to see if I can acquire the matching lengths to help with phasing his grandparents as it might interest people to have that information as well that are his 2nd cousins since they share great grandparents. For the other testing companies I have that material at hand and can search for those matches. It is a long shot for sure but I think it does make me feel happier about breaking up this set of fourty albums that covered all of his life really but they are all scanned. The early pictures I scanned for him maybe six months before he passed away and he found that to be something very pleasant to look at as he organized them in an online type of photo album so thinking about that does make me think he would like what I am doing. He and I belong to the generation that viewed everything in place not online. But this generation that will receive the photo albums  will view it online by preference. But perhaps in the future there will be a child who wants to see those original pictures in their binders; no one can know that. 

Vanilla tea all drank; a gift of my daughter, and now solitaire puzzles and then breakfast and the cleaning. I am a bit late today.

Research Day

 It was interesting having a research day on Monday and I have managed to get through all but 41 of the matches and perhaps today I will complete those matches. I had to give up when the lens fell out of my reading glasses and apparently I had lost the tiny screw that was holding that section together. Fixed quickly at the store where I bought them and all fine. Probably good actually as I tend to work for too long sometimes. The  matches continue to be complimented by the large number of cousins making the split back to great grandparents for phasing much easier. Chromosome 6 is a winner for that for sure. 

I went out and shoveled the snow on the porch, the patio and the laneway as it wasn't very much and the exercise and fresh air is definitely good for me. I do not take a sufficient number of rest periods from working on the computer but getting back to that as I was well organized before the flu struck. One has to really work at this type of thing I think when one is older as there is a tendency to rest too much and not keep up the good exercises I suspect. Plus I did overdo it with the skiing but all rested up now pretty much. Perhaps I will do a little skiing in the backyard through the winter since the snow is so lovely and not all iced up as it was last year. 

I did do a bit of intensive study on some of the matches and found a couple more known cousins which is always handy. The one large Blake/Farmer/Knight match that I have with a New Zealander is finally coming clearer. I rather think I am related primarily on his father's side but I also have a match in the Buller line on his mother's side. So a bit complicated that match because of endogamy primarily but perhaps also because they all lived in the same area (his ancestors and mine) with the introduction of a Buller line a couple of generations back. He looks like a strong second cousin but actually is a third and fourth cousin all around with descent from Ellis and Eleanor (Knight) Knight (my 3x great grandparents) and also from John and Ann (Farmer) Blake (my 2x great grandparents)  thus giving him that 3rd cousin and 4th cousin match. The Buller is also likely a 4th cousin. Amazing really what one can solve since DNA arrived on the scene more than two decades ago now although autosomal is much younger in terms of usage; it took a while to establish large enough databases to make it worthwhile. 

Time to do my steps for 9:00 a.m. and breakfast. I am late today for sure. The morning has been spent on some work I needed to do which wasn't oriented towards the books that I am writing on Blake and Pincombe.  

The meeting in Davos will be very interesting I suspect as I have been watching the talks given by the various heads of state. Talking is always good for sure. Some of these friendships go back more than 200 hundred years. A world at peace is a gift that we must grab hold of and nurture remembering God's words to love our neighbour as ourself.

Continuing with research

 Although I have not made any conclusions the review of the Rawlings/Cotterill matches on Chromosome 7 were certainly very interesting and that one section of my 7th chromosome is Rawlings is quite indisputable and the other section simply needs more research but does appear to be Cotterill. Since I do not inherit any Cotterill because my lines do not directly intersect with the cousins that I do match and we share 5x great grandparents in William Rawlins and Mary Ford, it would appear that I have acquired Cotterill in that particular chromosome but more work is needed on the trees of the matches that are within that grouping. Chromosome 7 is now complete and I am working on Chromosome 6 where there are 128 matches so a longer research period to complete that chromosome. However, I do have fourteen cousins to assist me in that task and at least one from every grandparent line. On this chromosome all five siblings are quite different from each other which perhaps lends to the large number of matches available (I do not collect all matches although did tend to collect anything over 19 cM in the past. Mostly now I only collect 25 cM or greater (single length). 

I think given a population of 40 million, 49,000 EVs coming into the country is a fairly small number It is a less expensive car meaning our young people can afford to purchase it and they will be a much more mobile part of our population over the next few years as they work on improving their skill sets and finding jobs that help them along that path. Each family could afford two of them to make life easier and more flexible especially if they have children. Times will be somewhat more difficult as we move forward in diversifying our trade base. Plus we have all sorts of new industrial aims to follow through on and complete over the next twenty years. It will be exciting I think for Canada and for our young people.  I would say to Premier Ford that he has not done anything to improve our situation in the last year and wasting money on frivolous unnecessary items like removing the webcams which were capturing speeders particularly in school zones was a mistake and a waste of money. We need the Trans Canada Highway across Northern Ontario widened to four lanes and as soon as possible - the traffic on that road is too heavy; Toronto doesn't need an underpass - the north needs that road. Clinging to the past does not work; we must forge ahead into this future that the Prime Minister has painted. One recalls I did not vote Liberal being Conservative in most of my voting years but I do tire of waste of money very quickly and there has been too much of it in Ontario lately. 

Another heavy snowfall cleared away and we have a good base now for skiing. I am taking a rest for the moment but hopefully still snow here in March when I will take up skiing once again. It is pretty cold out there for this old person! I can enjoy the snow from the inside of the house. Trees all coated with white and looking quite ethereal. God is in the Heavens watching and waiting for us to do the right thing. Love they neighbour as thyself and we will be following God's law and much better for it. Cloudy out there and some snow is promised. January can sometimes be so cold with a bright sun and blue sky but today it is cold and cloudy. 

Drinking tea and solitaire puzzles to work on before I start into the matches for Chromosome 6. The first two done yesterday were interesting.  The first one is Blake with our 2x great grandparents John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake in common. The second the same so a good beginning with two matches already separated into great grandparents.

Blake Newsletter should come out today

 I have been so busy with my phasing of my great grandparents that I have forgotten the Blake Newsletter so will attempt to produce that today along with cleaning the main floor. Yesterday top floor was completed and in pretty good time but extra hands do make less work. In four years my daughter will retire and return home at least that was the long term plan. That she would still like to work when she comes back goes without saying really. She loves working with her students and she is good at it but then I am her mother of course. The cold weather keeps us in day after day as it is just too cold for her to ski but she is getting lots of work done on her projects. The internet from its inception has rapidly changed our culture as one can work with people all around the world in just seconds on the internet and she does as well as her local colleagues who can also be on the internet or in person. Her students love the ability to meet with her at pretty much any time although onsite is also possible but mostly they also have busy lives and appreciate that she can meet with them so readily without a lot of work on their part. I am amazed at how many students do their masters whilst working a full time job these days. 

Being over 80 now has a different look to it that I had not anticipated actually. Although I still have a lot of plans on work to do; my mind does tend to be directed towards completion rather than just continuous work on it collecting new information. Now I need to be directing myself towards completion; all the time completion. My mind still feels very sharp but I am aging slowly but surely towards that time when I may not be quite so sharp! Although in my 60s (and I can find it in my blog actually) I had planned to continue my gathering research until my 80s and then get it all written up and that process is falling into place, amazing how well one can think in one's late 60s!

 I worked on Chromosome 8 yesterday and a little block of matches that looked like either Pincombe or Blake have finally found a home in the Blake family. I wasn't entirely sure but one match did it finally as it was slightly larger with an accompanying match that cinched the deal. Where they fit in continues to elude me although they are 3rd cousins for the most part according to the estimate which means we share 2x great grandparents and that would be John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake and their 54 grandchildren so not surprising that I am finding them difficult to place. They have this lovely long match on Chromosome 8 (mostly in the 25 to 35 cM range) which should make them Blake rather than Knight but I will continue working that through as my Edward Blake who married Maria Jane (Knight) Blake may not have been the only one of the Blake descendants of John and Ann who married a descendant of the huge Knight family! The descendants are all over the world though although primarily in the British Commonwealth or the United States. Moving ahead with the chromosome although slowly as there will likely be a couple of bumps in the road in that there are a number of "high count" areas on this chromosome. 

Sudoku has become my new interest and I generally play a couple of games a day. I like the precision of working with a set of numbers and playing with them to get a solution without getting any errors. It is great fun. 

I continue with my solitaire games each day and my tea is slowly cooling and I must move on to that. I am avoiding the news for the most part. I know Canada is in good hands at this moment in time; a person dedicated to growing Canada as it should have been grown these past sixty years. He has his nose to the grindstone working working working. Thank you to him for that as he will make us Tariff Proof (one cannot fight tariff; one must improve one's own economy so as to minimize the effect of tariff) as the way that countries do business is changing slowly but surely. We have our free trade deals around the world and will just keep expanding on our exports moving across this beautiful world that God gave us eons ago. Expanding our exports (both internally and externally) is the way to go to bring us to a better position economically (the need for Canadian products is huge; we just have to be there with them available to purchase - Go Canada Go). The Fathers of Confederation built a railway across a continent that few believed could be done and we can build trade around the world that benefits us and the people who buy our excellent products. Another beautiful day and it is sunrise but cloudy. Cloud isn't all bad as it is hard to ski with the bright sun! 

 This is the true Feast of Epiphany Day, January 6th, but the service on Sunday was very nice and life has to work into the schedule that fits into people's lives. We can not live on a day to day basis we must plan and prepare for the long run to make us the great economic powerhouse that we can be; it will be expensive; it will be hard work but the gain is huge as we work alongside our friend and neighbour to the south and the north (Alaska is part of the United States) and we will be economically sound and efficient - no more waste in the CRA. That has to end and sooner rather than later. Billions of dollars wasted!

Another good day on matches with just a dozen left to do in Chromosome 9

 Cleaning accomplished and I did the four mile walk today - one of my DVDs for exercise. I quite enjoyed it and have not done it for awhile. Usually I have been running but this time of year with the change in weather my osteoarthritis in my knees generally kicks up a little fuss and it is better just to go with it and do exercise that doesn't antagonize the bone spurs in my knees when they are susceptible due to weather change. Then of course I have been out gardening and on my knees on the cold ground which is why I only work for one hour these days. The DVD is great and keeps me in shape to run once again when true winter comes and I am in a warm house most of the time. I do love to run; there is something about that relaxation that comes with just running whether it just be around a small track in the house. It still feels quite wonderful. 

The matches and gradually I have resolved the difficulty I was having with Chromosome 9 - a few of the problem matches are simply two of my lines marrying and breaking the matches apart amongst the siblings who match differently is now a good solution and quite amazing really how DNA passes from one person to another. Then there were all those Blake matches; so many with 53 grandchildren belonging to my 2x great grandparents John Blake and Ann Farmer who married in 1823. How they ever remembered all of their names? it amazes me. Edward, my great grandfather, was the second youngest child and the fifth son.  He was 22 years younger than his oldest brother who was born five days after the marriage of John and Ann. I found that very interesting especially as it was four years later that the second child and son John was born.  The Buller matches though have been terrific on this chromosome. As it turned out I was the only one with Buller in the middle of this chromosome and the matches are a good length (25 cM or greater). Good Pincombe matches as well and Rawlings. 

Today cleaning the main floor and will begin that in a couple of hours. Yesterday went very smoothly cleaning but the basement is now pretty straight forward and the Robot does the rugs down there. 

 Chatting with my daughter and the sadness of all this trade war actually. The 36 states that trade with Canada as their largest customer (and for some it is practically everything they export) are suffering and one can feel their pain. If you do not count the oil that we ship south then the amount that we sell to the United States is far less than the exports that come up here. Plus we used to spend all of that vacation money in the United States yearly (in the billions) especially during the winter. One can also feel their pain for sure. Once we have balanced off the jobs lost with the jobs gained as we again manufacture our own stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dish washers and all the other small electric appliances that we buy from the United States then our pain will lessen here very quickly. Plus we have all these new projects under way and more to be announced. I do hope that the road widening of the Trans Canada Highway is amongst them. Once that is in place we will really be on the way. It kept me awake thinking about all of these wondrous projects and the employment of our unemployed youth at the moment. One has to go where the jobs are for sure. 

Soon the Prime Minister will meet with the President of China to discuss trade and I look forward to that. It was the United States that originally met with China on trade way back in the 60s I think and it was President Nixon. The object was to bring China into trade with them and it went very well. China is a powerhouse of production and they need a lot of raw materials and we produce them so looking forward to good discussions there. I still think that we should agree to remove the tariff if they build their cars here with Canadian materials and Canadian employees. That would restore some of the car jobs lost as the three American companies withdraw from some of their plants. It is sad as the Auto Pact goes back to 1965 but we are being blamed for building too many cars (although I do think that the companies themselves decide how many cars they will build and we have no idea in that regard (we do not count them as they go back and forth across the border) and so we must look elsewhere (perhaps someone here wants to start up a car company - we did have them but they were bought out years ago by American companies).  But certainly having China build and sell their EVs here would be an interesting idea I think. As a country we buy an enormous number of cars simply because we have so much land and the public transportation is limited mostly to the large cities near the border with the United States. You need a car and it is a right of passage here - you can count the number of teenagers/young adults with cars (they still live with their parents here right up to their 30s very often) in the laneways (plus two for the parents!). My Dodge Caravan barely has 31,000 kilometres (six years old now) on it so will likely be running for a while yet but that is dependent on servicing for sure. My family has always driven Dodge now Stellantis and when my father and brothers had their businesses there were all those Dodge trucks as well. 

 Premier Ford gets very upset about the people of his province suffering and tries to help them every way that he can. That is the role of politicians although I prefer to see 75 million dollars go to startups personally. It is the thing that bugs me about the Liberals; throwing money at things. Careful spending is important to me and always, where the government is particularly concerned, spent here in Canada given the present situation. 

Twelve matches to go and Chromosome 9 will be complete (this chromosome has a lot of crossovers compared to the others). I just have three crossover points that are not verified by the new data (verified by the old and mostly they remain pretty much the same). Three, 104 and 84 belonging to two siblings only. The three doesn't really trouble me as it will just be one match suddenly appearing with that tiny length from 0 to three. The 104 is interesting as it looks to be a shared crossover point but unused until the last match as I just happened to look at it so solved at the end. The 84 is a challenge but will just remain as 84 unless there is a change in the next 11 matches!

Banana Bread all eaten, tea drank and solitaire puzzles to do.

Two Thought Provoking Sermons

Yesterday I did attend both Anglican Services - one here at Christ Church and one at St Peters and St James Hereford. Both had two extremely thoughtful sermons which provoked a good deal of thought in my brain throughout the day and this morning I found myself going back to the thinking pattern and contemplating Solomon and his wisdom once again (although the sermons themselves looked at the Trinity but one of the readings in the week was about Solomon and his talk with God). Greed and hate have raised their ugly heads once again in our world and although it has been sitting as an undercurrent for quite a while especially in the case of Iran's hatred of Israel but the Russian desire to commit genocide against the Ukrainian people is also a long lasting plan on their part dating back over the century past. Iran has created three sycophants to carry out their satanic plots against Israel namely Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This satanic murder of six Palestinians who were helping with the US food distribution group is just the continuing usage of the Gazan peoples as collateral damage in the Iranian war against Israel which has been relentless throughout the last couple of decades. That a people would allow themselves to become willing to be the collateral damage and even allowing their children to be killed in order to satisfy the hatred of the Iranian government for Israel continues to confound the world (why did they not send them to safety!). Palestinians need to destroy Hamas not the other way around - they must stop being willing victims. Then the equally satanic leadership of Russia has destroyed the glory of the Russian people for their extreme sacrifice during the Second World War as they fought night and day to cast off the Nazi invaders in their country. Satanism must be gone from our world - the Iranian leadership and the Russian leadership (and North Korean leadership for that matter); so long as it endures then there will be useless waste of people and property namely the Israelis, the Palestinians and the Ukrainians. The picture is constantly coming into clearer and clearer view of the need of the world to eliminate these satanic peoples so that we can have peace.

More work on the Living DNA matches yesterday and some interesting ones that have three out of four of my grandparent lines appearing to come together in another family (very occasionally generally just two lines). Given my own lack of first cousins, few second cousins but all known to me and hundreds and hundreds of third cousins I do anticipate the possibility. However I always find this a little suspicious but I must remember in England in particular many of my lines became quite large in the 1800s (John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake (my 2x great grandparents) had 54 grandchildren many of whom had large families). The Buller families in Birmingham (particularly the daughters marrying into other lines) had a dozen children in some lines. The Knight/Butt families that went to Lancashire in the late 1800s also had large families (again my 2nd and 3rd great grandparents). So it is possible but some of the lengths are quite long but again I do have endogamy in those Knight/Butt lines where two different Knight/Butt lines come together as sticky lengths of chromosomes giving me longer lengths than one would anticipate in third or fourth cousins. The possibility of marriages between my lines is much greater in England than here where the proportion of English descent is smaller and in particular 100% as mine is.  But I will continue with that today along with the cleaning. Basement today and it is already set up to run the Robot vacuum cleaner. I have to establish the perimeter for the vacuum to remain on the rug which I must set up each time and that takes perhaps four minutes give or take. 

Drinking my lemon ginger tea and will do my solitaire puzzles.

I always had a blue eye ring around the outside of the brown area of my eye

 I always had a blue eye ring around the outside of the brown area of my eye but it is more distinct after the cataract surgery (my eyes were very crossed though as a child (strabismus) and that is now gone (it was difficult for me to see anything really close up even with my glasses)). I hadn't really noticed it until this spring and I still think one would think my eyes were brown but definitely that blue eye ring is there as it always been from childhood (just looks larger, bluer and more distinct). The brown area just seemed larger to me through my life. Interesting really. I think maybe we should have our fingerprints on our passport which is perhaps a strange thing to say but it would be a second proof of who we are. 

Yesterday I finished the main floor cleaning but decided to do the basement today because I have to move the rug and under pad back now that the water meter has been changed. That went very smoothly and was accomplished in less than half of an hour. Getting ready for it took considerably longer but it was good to have everything cleared away from the area. So today I will clean the basement this morning and clear away the snow as we got quite a bit actually. 

Worked on the matches and there were a couple of quite good ones so into the databases and painted. I am not able to discover the Blake ancestry of these lines without going into the records of the English databases to search them out. But with hundreds and hundreds of grandchildren and they are my 2x great grandparents so one can only imagine the number of 2x great grandchildren!, John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake are a study all in themselves. Their descendants are found around the globe but primarily they remain in England and many in the London area as well as Hampshire. John Blake had died by the time my grandfather was born (John was his grandfather) but his grandmother Ann Blake was still alive and lived next door to him so he knew her very well and learned a lot about his Blake family from her and some of her Farmer family. The Farmer family were from Wiltshire and I believe I have found the correct line (a couple of interesting DNA matches work well) but Ann herself was born at Woodhouse in Andover. It was probably very helpful for my grandfather's mother to have her mother in law next door as she had twelve children! Her own mother lived at Turnworth, Dorset. Interesting how these Blake men through the centuries married outside of their area very often actually. I am still contemplating how far down I will bring the generations. Probably just to my father and he was born in 1904. All of his grandchildren know each other so that sounds good actually.

I watched a show on Netflix "Mary" which is quite good and I am about half way through. One never thinks about the whole story of Mary very often although there is evidence of her in the writings that points to the possibility of the accuracy of this show but it is also based on the knowledge of life at the time.

I haven't been watching Netflix for a while; life has just been busy with the election and I have been watching the candidates but I was annoyed by comments made yesterday by the Conservative leader. It always seems to be money that brings out the accusations and attempts to vilify one's opponent on the basis of money. Perhaps I do not put enough emphasis on money; but money destroys people; destroys their life often enough. I think having sufficient for one's basic needs is good and very necessary that as you work through life you put enough aside to support you in your old age. But being rich has its negative side; you have to protect it unfortunately that is the reality of life. It may look glitzy to be wealthy but it is a lonely place even if you do do all these fun and fabulous looking things. You can still do them and not be so rich and they are more fun I think simply because you are not always having to protect yourself from those who would steal from you. But in this modern world for sure anyone is a target for fraud and one must be attentive to anyone prying into their private affairs. 

But back to the election and I felt that the Conservative candidate had moved beyond mud-slinging but it is still there and I do find it repulsive. I do have my problems with the Liberal party - they do cling to power using whatever means works for them. This last parliamentary period I found to be extremely annoying with mistakes at CRA not being satisfactorily answered and responded to - there should have been people fired but it they did it on the quiet then fine but it would be good to know that a successful conclusion was reached for the huge mistake made. I found the dental and drug plans to be set up incorrectly as money for health belongs to the provinces and is much better managed by them. The Liberals always just throw money at it without being careful with the finances. It is highly likely that Mark Carney would be very efficient with money; I do have to say that. My decision still remains somewhat in abeyance as I listen to the candidates. The Feds should concentrate on improving our trade outreach which means working with the provinces to improve internal trade and increasing our network of trade in the world and other such global issues and not get into people's dental and drug needs. Seeing the NDP well below 10% of the popularity federally is a good thing. Provincially they have worked well in some of the provinces - Manitoba is a good example and possibly others I must admit to not keeping up with the politics of each and every province. Here in Ontario our experience with NDP was not good and I would never want to repeat that for sure. Mind you the Liberals certainly made a mess of it last time they were in power in Ontario. I am reasonably satisfied with Premier Ford although again the money issues that are thrown about are very annoying. Prove it or leave it alone; I get tired of it. My voting card came and it will be a nice walk up to advance polling.

 So next task is to put the rug down and then let the robot do its work vacuuming the rug. Then shovel the snow and back in to finish cleaning the basement. A busy day, breakfast already completed and will have my tea as that was mixed up today.

The new tablet is a wonderful addition

 My tablet is working perfectly and fully equipped to suit me. The trip to get the power adapter smooth and efficient. It was lovely and thank you to the store for making it so easy. I asked if I could come and order my desktop next summer before Windows 10 maintenance disappears and no problem. So I was pleased. Thank you to Best Buy much appreciated. 

I actually did my Duolingo Latin on the tablet last evening and quite pleased with that result as well. The setup was easy and I have little to do now except update some of the apps that crossed over from my phone. That was also very efficient. Tablets have come a long way since I last used one in 2018. I always meant to replace the last one but COVID arrived and I just didn't really need one as I was pretty much home 24/7 with the desktop. My desktop though is now six years old and I was replacing it every three years so will be ready for the new one. This one still works very well but Windows 10 will no longer be supported towards the end of this year. It will not upgrade to Windows 11 but I would rather have a new one anyway. 

Read the Blake Book yesterday and it is already 86 pages. Found a few items here and there that I improved for the read of it but did not add much just smoothing out the read. I like it and I am not finding anything as I was a bit concerned after rereading the first Siderfin book. But I think my eyes just got very tired proofreading and I missed a few things. I did see it as many but actually it was not even an entire page of corrections/changes. Perhaps there were 15 items in total but I am a knit-picker. I have had a few thoughts on where I am going with the Blake book and I think that I do need to put in more about the Le Blak family of Rouen Normandy and see if I can actually sort out that line from their arrival along the Hampshire coast; their move inland to Berkshire and then to Wiltshire where they are eventually found in Calne. Proving that will be an interesting proposal and I know one of my co-administrators at the yDNA Blake project would really like that to happen. A lot of people have looked at this family likely because of the Pedigree Chart which the Royal College of Arms produced in concert with members of the family in 1690 with additions into the mid 1700s. There is one obvious error in that chart and the beginning is somewhat vague particularly using an item from the Calendar of Patent Rolls to discuss the progenitor of this family chart Richard le Blake and attributing to him a transfer of property that rightly belongs to Roger le Blake of Herefordshire. But it was a long time ago and the time between the creation of the Pedigree Chart and this event in the Calendar of Patent Rolls is itself a length of over four hundred years so I will proceed carefully and keep it historically accurate. It is always better to be right even if it doesn't paint quite the picture that was desired. The overall flow is pretty accurate although will check each generation carefully with the extant records. Why would I do this? I can sense my grandfather and his indignation that Nicholas Blake would be so badly used by a known fraud genealogist in the 1800s namely Horatio Gates Somerby. Nicholas was just a small holding landowner/farmer at Knights Enham who left his will in 1547. His son William amassed a considerable amount of land and holdings and lived at Eastonton (near Andover). This Blake family, likely descendant of the Robert Blake who left his will in 1521 naming his eldest son Richard and he also had sons William and Thomas, left their wills with great accuracy for five generations clearly noting siblings and children making it easy/straight forward to construct that pedigree chart. But in 1690 when the Pedigree Chart was created likely these wills were not quite so available and the Blake line that created it with the College of Arms support had left the Andover area about 100 years earlier. The Blake family (known to be of Andover) left in that area was not particularly large and no longer held the land they once did as far as I can tell. Continuing to work on that aspect as it helps with my direct line which tended to be younger sons for the most part with my great grandfather Edward Blake being the fifth and last son of John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake. 

There are two Pedigree Charts that claim the Andover Blake family was related to the Blake family at Calne but I propose that any linkage was actually with the le Blak family in Berkshire at a much earlier time period and wills of the Blake family in Berkshire (in the 1500s) support this idea but I need to prove it and time will tell if that is possible. I do find it intriguing that the future King of England (William, Prince of Wales) is related to the Blake family at Calne tracing back through his mother's line. I find it intriguing that he may also be descendant of the Blake family at Andover which appears to trace back to the beginnings of settlement/re-settlement of the British Isles after the Ice Age by the Western Hunter-Gatherers. One of the reasons that when I do publish this book it will be with an embargo permitting usage only by family members and academic researchers. I will place a copy in the Library of the Guild of one-name Studies where I am #4600. But I will restrict myself to the four years as I will want to move on to other lines of my family at some point in the future. 

Sunday and Church in Westminster apparently so looking forward to attending just after breakfast (nice that it is filmed five hours earlier than my time zone). It will be great if incoming President Trump does abolish daylight savings. I am looking forward to that. I do like the bright early mornings. 

Drinking my tea and soon my yoga and then breakfast.

Cleaning accomplished but not much else

Cleaning all accomplished and that was the two floors - lucky this house is small because I am getting older. Although at this point in time I can still manage everything fairly readily. I also cleared away the fresh snow fall; we are really welcoming it this February. Sometimes by February it can seem never ending but this year our snowfall has been very light and not one day below minus 20 degrees celsius yet. One wonders what March will bring. I would call this a London winter. And it is the first London winter that I have experienced in 49 years amazingly!

Today is the basement cleaning and the cleaning will then be all accomplished. Back to work so to speak.

I thought about Blake yesterday but actually did not do anything on the book. I need to start gathering data on the lines that I have not traced down. Most of them stayed in England with the exception of  the Sedgwicke family - Joanne Blake married Major General Roberte Sedgwicke 9 Jan 1634 at Andover. However Joanne returned to England perhaps after her husband died in Jamaica in 1656 and died at Stepney in London in 1667. Her children remained in Charlestown, Massachusetts Royal Colony and I actually have Blake matches (atDNA) with descendants of this family which is surprising although they are small but sometimes you can have this stubborn piece of Blake that just keeps on going (the matches are pretty much with all four of us who tested at Ancestry). There are in this direct path a couple of Blake-Blake marriages deep in the past (Nicholas Blake likely married his first cousin Margaret Blake (daughter of Thomas Blake, son of Robert his grandfather). I also propose that the original surname itself came from the marriage of a person without a surname (likely John) with a daughter of Richard le Blak when Richard le Blak was still living in Berkshire. Very ancient really and I do not see any matches with known descendants of the Blake family of Calne in my line although Jone Blake is an unknown The grandparents of Joanne Blake were Richard Blake and Jone (Blake) Blake perhaps providing that double lot of Blake gene pool that sends a duplicating portion of Blake genes down the line so to speak. Not sure why this Blake line did not really leave England until the late 1890s and into the 1900s (mine came to Canada in 1913 making me first generation Canadian on my father's side and fourth generation Canadian on my mother's side). My father used to talk about a relative. who went out west, had come to Canada before he did (he was actually my grandfather's first cousin and not his uncle but a first cousin once removed. I did assume Blake but actually his surname was Knight and I have since been in contact with some of his descendants as we match on 23 and Me actually. But the Blake family moved away from the Andover area itself but not out of the country particularly. There are still Blake families in the Andover area descendant of John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake and I have quite a few matches on the various databases since we have tested at 23 and Me, Ancestry, BritainsDNA, Ethnoancestry, FT DNA, Living DNA, My Heritage, National Genographic and Sorenson Genomics, The amount of data quite overwhelms these days and I have greatly restricted my collection of it. At least two of us has tested at all of these databases and in total five siblings have tested yielding tons of data for sure. Of value to only us really but I think for the most part the really interesting matching is between the five of us; I am least like any of them and the shared atDNA is amazingly spread from the least that full siblings can share to being quite similar. DNA is fun actually. It is possibly the best part of surname studies but then it was DNA that really brought me in after I had done the Profile for my cousin of the Pincombe family in Westminster Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada.

On to the day; I slept in slightly and it is already 7:30 a.m.

The weirdest experience

Today I had an appointment with the Eye Institute to look at my cataracts. The optometrist told me in January that I would need to have them operated on in another year but I decided that since he said he would have recommended that I should have done that two years ago except my husband needed his done I decided I should get right on that and get it done. My appointment with the Eye Institute was for today. I was there in plenty of time; I took a taxi because that was just the easiest thing to do. My daughter had a lot to do and it was the simple method since I would not be able to see to drive home after drops in my eyes plus I do not drive on the highway by myself anymore. And it was actually really true that I could not have done that. I couldn't read anything in actual fact. The recommendation was to have the cataract surgery with a replacement lens. The ophthalmologist discussed several different types of lenses aside from the basic lens and I had no idea there were such choices. I have worn glasses since I was eighteen months of age. I have strabismus and astigmatism with one of my eyes particularly weak. I was actually being told that all this could go away and I would be glasses free (if after study my eyes fitted into that category). Aside from the fact that I really in my mind did not think that could happen I realized as I spent some time reading about all of these lens later that I actually enjoy wearing glasses and being an outdoor sports person I also like not having bugs in my eyes. I decided to phone and tell them that I really wanted the basic lens and forget about any bells and whistles  - just basic. So we will go with that as I got through to them and was able to discuss with her assistant. The Ophthalmologist that I had as a child, wonderful man with such patience for a small child, always said that my eyes could not be operated on and not to do that so I have avoided any comment on laser surgery or anything like that through the years. He tried to correct my eyes with patching and that did not work when I was a child and said I would just always have to have glasses (I believed him although realize that the surgeries have come a long way through the years but did discover that some people have strabismus return and end up with glasses in the long run anyway). Dr. Dyson was one of the pioneers in child surgery for strabismus and he had been one of my Father's scouts (my father was actually Chief Scout in London sometime in the 30s (have the reference)) and very well liked by many people there. So I do realize that Dr Dyson, my ophthalmologist, did take special pains with my eyes because of that. I also realize that was a long time ago but he was my eye physician until we moved to Ottawa when I was 30 years of age. Dr. Sullivan, an equally good and knowledgeable ophthalmologist here looked after my eyes until he went into fulltime surgical so I decided we would just go to an optometrist and not have to book these appointments so far ahead. But in actuality it is just the fact that I really prefer wearing my glasses and I like the versatility of having the stronger lens to work away on my computer and I have confidence in that and I do not want to move to any of these new compound lens. That isn't to say that I do not see this as a very progressive movement for people and it is good if children do not have to have strabismus all their life but for me no bugs in the eyes is more than enough reason to stay with the basic lens. 

It was fun though being back in the hospital campus (the General) that I worked at for four years (I was at the Civic Campus for six years, Riverside Campus for about two years). I went to the Cafeteria after I was finished and had a huge gingerbread cookie and a coke. Glad that appointment is over; surgery likely towards the end of the year since I have to work that into when my daughter is here. In the meantime I have started once again to work on the Siderfin Book. Hope to finish it before the end of the year so should work very well. Then take a while off of the heavy computer work (I shall try to improve my execise regimen at that time although it is quite excellent already) and then start on the Pencombe book and after that the Blake book. Who knows what will be next but I do have a few ideas (George DeKay wrote a book on our mutual Gray families along with several lines that fed into these lines (Routledge, Carling, etc. etc.)). A book that included more information on the work of Sir John Carling (my great grandmother's first cousin) would certainly be interesting to family members (I just create *.pdf documents and put them up on my server and then anyone can download them at will). I will give copies to Family Search as well if they want them. 

I also want to continue working on the H11 haplogroup and would eventually like to publish a book on that particular subclade of H. The DNA of my father and brothers would also make an interesting study (I-PH151) as it goes extinct in our generation although there are still a number of male descendants of John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake as well as John's parents Thomas Blake and Sarah (Coleman) Blake of Upper Clatford. This is an interesting line because it goes back to Joseph Blake (and Joanna (King) Blake of Upper Clatford) of Andover who was the only descendant of Thomas Blake and Ann (Carter) Blake who survived to adulthood and this Thomas Blake was the only  child of Thomas Blake and Mary (Spring) Blake who married 6 Nov 1708 at Andover St Mary. This limited number of descendants in the 1700s makes the family easy to trace back into the 1600s and earlier as it turns out. I would like to do more on the Buller family of my maternal grandmother. Now that I am in to these surname studies they are quite fascinating and as I withdraw eventually from my commitment to the Guild of one-name studies (Blake and Pincombe) I can see all sorts of interesting ways to spend my time. My father had great success all those years ago with his cataract removal. He could do his beloved cross word puzzles and spent hours working on them after he was semi-retired. Dr Dyson always said that I had exactly my father's eyes and I am younger than he was and he never wore sunglasses. I hate them but have worn them for years now. They block the real world. 

The evening is fast disappearing and I am up late. Off to bed. Goodnight dear God and may peace become more than just a wish.

Alleluia Christ is Risen

 The golden sunrise of this morning greeting another Easter morning - Alleluia Christ is Risen Alleluia. The familiar refrain over nearly two thousand years now rises from the Churches around the world but not all of the Christian Churches celebrate Easter today. The Eastern Orthodox Easter will not arrive until the 16th of April as they celebrate by the Julian calendar whereas the rest of Christendom celebrates by the Greorgian calendar. Many many services on YouTube today as always. I find this to be the gift of COVID making the Christian Church available around the world for all those who wish to attend and do not or can not attend in person. It is what Jesus asked of his disciples/apostles to tell the Good News around the world. 

Continuing with my Siderfin research yesterday and the hits on Find My Past. I am now on page 64 so have passed the half way mark in the 2433 hits. Reaching halfway in anything is always a relief; it reminds me of running. Once you are half way the shortest way to the end is straight ahead. Follow the Word of God and you will find your path to the rest of your days whether life ends tomorrow or in the future; God is with the world but he does not interfere in the world. Jesus showed us the way. 

Today is a beautiful Easter Day. We are promised nine degrees celsius and even warmer into the next week. The stacks of snow are slowly melting and where the land is close to the buildings we can now see the grass - still asleep from the winter but soon to green. The pile of snow on my garage roof has taken on the look of a crocodile with its snout pointing towards the sun as it crosses the sky and the arms pointing towards the sun as well. The body slowly melting away with the small feet and body still clinging to the roof. Waiting for summer for sure that snow sculpture so that it becomes part of the water cycle once again (and I wait impatiently for it to happen, next year I shall try using a broom handle to knock that snow down). From my grandfather I acquired such an imagination. He loved to look at the clouds floating above us on their way to Upper Clatford as he said and pointed out all the marvelous shapes in the sky. It was a fun child thing that I enjoyed. I think he thought it kept my nose out of my book for a little while. Although he too, like my grandmother, encouraged me to read and read. He taught me to count the dishes as I washed them. I was just four years old when I stood on a chair to wash the dishes for then eight people and he would sit beside me on his chair to make sure I did not fall off. My memories of my grandfather are so very clear in my old age. He talked and talked about Upper Clatford where he spent his childhood. His grandmother lived next door to him (Ann Farmer married John Blake 4 Sep 1823 at St Mary Andover). His father's many cousins used to come and stay with her just for short times but the names that he said were blurred to memory but found again when I researched the siblings of Edward Blake (my grandfather's father) and once again the names blended with those memories. My grandfather would follow his older brother John to Eastleigh, Hampshire once he had completed his apprenticeship as a blacksmith (one of his uncle's was a blacksmith) and there my father (the only child of my grandfather) was born. I am blessed with an excellent memory. 

On to Easter Day and the celebration of the Risen Lord. Alleluia Christ is Risen Alleluia.

30 emails left

The last 30 emails have finally been reached. They all need a response of one sort or another. They range from 2017 to 2019 although most are 2019. They have all had a preliminary response (mostly I will get back to you when I get a chance) but each one require me to work through one of my descendant lines.

It will be nice to be finished. I would like to get back to the Blake wills. I also want to get back to writing up the children of my 2x great grandparents John Blake and Ann Farmer. I am working on child # 4 of 10 children. One is written up, my great grandfather, and three of them have smaller families but three of them had quite large families so will take some time to finish them and move on to Samuel Knight and Louisa Butt, the parents of my great grandmother Blake. A woman described to me by my father as being a very warm person with long blond hair braided and wrapped around her hair like a crown he used to say. I have a picture of her with her hair arranged that way. He loved going to see her in Goodworth Clatford where they lived when he was young. His grandfather was strict and he had to always mind him but his grandmother adored him he said.

Writing up one of my great grandfather's siblings

Writing up my great great grandparents John Blake's and Ann (Farmer) Blake's descendants and one particular descendant Elizabeth Holdway (daughter of Sarah Ann Annetts, grand daughter of Martha Blake) had married George Sillence in Upper Clatford 25th December 1909. Unfortunately George died Dec quarter 1911 leaving just one child a son Stephen George Sillence born 9 Jun 1911. He married Evelyn M Greenhill Dec quarter 1936 in Andover RD. This couple had just one child: Shirley A Sillence born Dec quarter 1937 in Andover RD and married to Peter Higgins Sep quarter 1959 in Andover RD.


Elizabeth (Holdway) Sillence appears to have remarried in Dec quarter 1912 in Andover RD. She died likely as Elizabeth Kent Sep quarter 1937 in Andover RD. Hence it is likely that she married James Kent. Likely Elizabeth and James had three children although I am not entirely sure of that and tried to see if anyone else knew. I wrote to a particular tree on My Heritage and received a wonderful response back. He also did not know for sure as he was not necessarily researching that line. I had not bought certificates in these collateral lines. If they are on my fiche then I can find them otherwise it isn't possible yet to easily determine without purchasing the certificate.

However the three children which I located were Robert James Kent, Frederick William Kent both born 1st May 1913 in Andover RD and Mary A M Kent born 25 May 1916 in Andover RD. I found Robert James Kent (single) on the 1939 Register and living in the same household Arthur S Aldridge, Mary A M Aldridge and Sylvia Kent (married). Likely Mary A M Kent married Sidney Arthur Aldridge Sep quarter 1937 in Andover RD. The record shows one closed record and this couple had one child - Michael S Aldridge born Sep quarter 1938 in Andover RD. A second child was not born until Jun quarter 1940. Robert James Kent likely married Irene J Aldridge Mar quarter 1941 in Andover RD. I could not find Frederick William Kent on the 1939 register but he likely married Sylvia Lipthorpe Jun quarter 1939 in Andover RD.

Sometimes it amazes me how so much can come together with just a few records. Stephen George Sillence is my 3rd cousin (he was born 30 plus years before me). However my great grandfather Edward Blake was 16 years younger than Martha Blake his sister. Plus my father was over 40 years of age when I was born creating such a difference in ages between 3rd cousins. Robert James Kent, Frederick William Kent and Mary A M Kent are all also my 3rd cousins.

Francis William Moth - Service Number 2056

Working on my 2x great grandparents John Blake and Ann (Farmer) Blake, I was trying to find more information on the eldest son of Harry Joseph Moth and Jane (Annetts) Moth. Jane was the daughter of Robert Annetts and Martha (Blake) Annets and my 1st cousin twice removed. Francis was my 2nd cousin once removed.

Since I could not find him in the 1939 Register I decided to search for him in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site. I did locate him and Private Francis William Moth, Service Number 2056 1st/4th Battalion of the Hampshire Regiment, died the 21st of January 1916 in Mesopotamia. His parents were listed as the late Mr. H.J. and Mrs. J. Moth of 15 Mount Pleasant, New Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire. His mother died in 1920 and his father in 1927.

Francis William Moth was the eldest of six children (3 sons and 3 daughters). He is commemorated on the BASRA Memorial in Iraq. Total identified casualties on the memorial numbered 40,640. The particular battle in which he may have died was the First Battle of Hanna which was fought on the 20-21 Jan 1916 between the Ottoman Army and Anglo-Indian Forces. On the 20th/21st January the 7th Division sustained 2700 casualties. This was a prelude to the surrender of the garrison at Kut-al-Amara 29 Apr 1916.

His five siblings all survived the first world war although one of his sisters died during the second world war at Croydon, Surrey.
