re: #221 freetoken

Well, I got that much. In fact, right now I have no matches with my mtDNA, so I’m just making wild guesses at this point. I’ve had more success matching my yDNA and with that, finally located the area where my paternal line originated (Devon, England). My paper trail ends in the colonial NJ period, so there was no clear point of origin until the DNA matching earlier this year.

As for marrying off daughters, the parish records state clearly the woman’s baby was “okta” (illegitimate), so there was no family planning involved, as it were.
