Part 939ss - 1846 GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott Marries Eliza Miller

Good day,

At long last!

I have found a good source for the 1846 Marriage of GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott to Eliza Miller.

Transcription -

"JULY 8 - BURY AND NORWICH POST, AND EAST ANGLIAN - 1846
MARRIED
Same day, at Lyston, Essex, by the Rev. J. I. Worship,
Alexander Reid Scott, Esq., of Kingston, Jamaica, to
Eliza, only daughter of the late Alexander Miller, Esq,
of the same place."

The "same day" refers to the previous Marriage Registration and the time frame of "On Tuesday last".  Calculating that from the date of the Bury and Norwich Post, and East Anglian, 8 July 1846, I would say that GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott's and Eliza Miller`s marriage happened on 7 July 1846.

There is an issue that their 1846 Marriage was registered in Sudbury, Suffolk, England in the 2nd Quarter. According to the Post it took place, from my interpretation on July 7, which is in the 3rd Quarter. Note also, the difference between the two Counties of Essex and Suffolk. Liston, Essex is less than 3 miles north of Sudbury.

Also, something should be noted, that today Lyston is spelled as Liston in Essex.

We have found the Marriages Registered in April, May, June 1846.

Here are the copies of the 1846 Marriage Registrations for GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott and Eliza Miller.

Here is an quick update, which or course can change as the research continues, of GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott`s and Eliza Miller`s Ancestry Chart.

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.

Part 938sr - Figure Out How You Relate To Someone Based on cMs (CentiMorgans)

Good Day,

I have been introduced to a very good tool that assists with trying to figure out the probabilities based on the cM - Centimorgan.

From the International Society of Genetic Genealogy Wiki

"In genetic genealogy, a centiMorgan (cM) or map unit (m.u.) is a unit of recombinant frequency which is used to measure genetic distance. It is often used to imply distance along a chromosome, and takes into account how often recombination occurs in a region...

The genetic genealogy testing companies 23andMe, AncestryDNA, Family Tree DNA and MyHeritage DNA use centiMorgans to denote the size of matching DNA segments in autosomal DNA tests. Segments which share a large number of centiMorgans in common are more likely to be of significance and to indicate a common ancestor within a genealogical timeframe."

The tool is the DNA Painter, The specific tool I am referring to is the Shared cM Project 3.0 tool v4. Click on the highlighted links provided.

Here are the results of me to a 1st cousin who's a match at 23andMe. 23andME indicates a cM result of 816.

Here are the relationship probabilities.

As I know that the individual is my 1st Cousin, it is a forgone conclusion that he, KLS, and I are rated at a 95.25% probability.

And here is the produced chart of possible matches and their associated cM ranges.

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.
