Hi,
I am a R1b1b2a1b5 aka L21. Earliest paternal ancestor: Alexander Matheson (abt. 1771-1845) who emigrated from Sutherlandshire, Scotland to Rupertsland (now Manitoba,Canada) in 1823.

My R1b line was in County Fermanagh, Ireland for most if not all of the 19th century. Counties Cavan, Leitrim, and Longford may also come into play, based on discussions with other researchers looking at the area regarding closely matching R1b Noble lines.

Ancestry likewise advised me that I am R1b but provided no details. Ancestry brags about having the latest technology, so why does Family Tree DNA offer some perspectives on my DNA that Ancestry doesn't? I see that FTDNA offers a special deal for Ancestry DNAers, but it isn't cheap enough after spending several hundred dollars on DNA research at Ancestry. It is rather frustrating. I'll just have to wait for Ancestry to bring itself up to standard. For now, I've posted my records at Y-Search to allow for some cross-pollination between DNA services.

Charles,
Did you have a look at my husband's ysearch results to see if you were a match?

Michael,
Have you tried searching to see if the LDS would have films of the census for that time period in the area that you are searching?

Ruth,

I sent the email. I thought the Send Message to Group would post the comment here. Oh, well, live and learn, right? Anyway, my grandfather didn't even realize that he was illegitimate until he went to get his birth certificate when he was marrying my grandmother. He went through school and everything as my great grandmother's husband's son using his name -- Kowalski. My great grandmother never told anyone who the father was. On his birth certificate, from Chicago, Cook County, the father is listed as "Legally Omitted." The birth certificate was written in 1943 even though he was born in 1913 or thereabouts. I really think he was conceived, if not born, in the Hartford, CT area, as I do have a copy of my great grandmother's ship manifiest when she came in 1898. She stayed at 80 Potter St. I looked that address up on Google Earth, and that is where the Hartford Convention Center is now. I can't find her between 1898 - 1930 where she is living with her husband, my grandfather (as Kolwicky not even Kowalski) and my grandfather's half-siblings in Chicago.

According to the results from GeneTree my Subclade is R1b1b2*-M269. My earliest relation is Joshua Church, Derby Line, VT around 1858 to dod. 1863.

I received an email from this group but I don't see it posted here.
My grandfather was born out of wedlock and carried his mother's maiden surname.
It took me a few years to find out who he was, besides just knowing his first name and one of his surnames. I would call my mother and give her the information I would find online from ancestry.com, she would visit her sisters and cousin and related to them the information. Little by little I would receive a bit more information back from my mother concerning my maternal grandfather's family. He died before 1920, I could not find him in the 1910 census. Puerto Rico only has the 1910, 1920, 1930 & 1935 census, anything earlier you would have to order it from the LDS center. I ordered an LDS film from the 1800's Puerto Rico census and was able to find who my maternal grandfather's father was. It took me a while, but I finally found out who he was. If you know the name of your grandfather I would start by looking at the census in the area where he lived and by getting in contact with family members who might have known some details about him and ask questions or look into Church records for the Baptism, they usually listed who the grandparents were, at least in Puerto Rico. I don't know if they list that information in other areas.

Charles:
My husband's ysearch ID is NR6EY if you care to have a look.
I have joined him in the R-L21 Project http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R-L21/default.aspx and the R-P312 and Subclades Project http://www.familytreedna.com/public/atlantic-r1b1c/default.aspx
From FTDNA, did you test with them? Both projects have a huge amount of R1b1b2a1b5 members.
