Research notes

Ann's parents

A set of new (Dec 2020) DNA matches to two different lines down from John & Jane Rawlings has led to the exploration of John's family, the finding of his parents, and eventually, the baptism for his sister Ann which fits with this Ann.

I therefore am tentatively concluding that Ann's origins have been found.

This blog post refers.

Since then a match between my first cousin and a descendant of John and Ann's sister Jane has also been found.
