My father was born without a father listed on his birth certificate. He is not the biological son of the father who married his mother and who he was raised with. I'm hoping to find out his birth father. I have a copy of his Birth Certificate from Glasgow, Scotland, that list his birth as July 29, 1915 and his mother as Catherine MacKay. His name on the certificate is Francis McGwiggan MacKay. However he used the name Frank Atkinson after his mother married James Atkinson when he was about three years old. I believe my Grandmother left us a hint with the name McGwiggan (McGuigan) as her son's middle name. A great aunt told me that She met a soldier on the boat. I know Catherine Mackay would do domestic work in Canada, so possibly traveling to Canada from Glasgow she met someone?

Welcome to WikiTree and DNA.

My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.

Since you have started following a DNA tag, you may be interested in how you can use DNA test matches with your relatives to strengthen your genealogy on WikiTree. You will find the answers in the Help pages, of which the DNA Help category page shows all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started with DNA page is highlighted. Also the DNA Features page can show you various ways that DNA tests can work with your genealogy. For a detailed guide to connecting DNA test results to WikiTree profiles via GEDmatch, look here.

You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of an acceptable DNA match. You may find that you have acceptable matches with some of them. There is more information about DNA Connections on the DNA Test Connections page.

When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the Confirmed with DNA help page. Note that every time you mark a child's relationship to their parent as Confirmed with DNA you must add a source citation to the =Sources= section of that child's profile that explains how you made the DNA-confirmed conclusion.

I strongly recommend using the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker WikiTree app for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations. Note that a profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source citations for both genealogy and the necessary DNA test matching information.

If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation". There are lots of folks willing to help.

Happy WikiTree-ing!

Thank you, I am trying to find my way around wiki tree. My hope is to figure out who my biological grandfather is. Thank you for the message. At this Time, I don't have any specific questions, but am try to connect to my daughter who already started a tree. I am on it and was able to merge with myself. So that is a start!
