I'm not sure of the accuracy of this tool, for my husband's surname the whole map just said "no data" 😆

But this pretty much fits the research I've been doing into the Onion family recently. Most records turn up in the west there, and then a little patch in Kent.

I set myself a task on Sunday to see if I could work out how the various people called Onion who lived In Kent in the 18th and 19thC were related to each other. I'm still going!

Kind of how genetics works. But it's a lovely image to explain the basics of DNA :)

I've been reading transcripts of 16thC and 17thC wills today and writing down all the people. I've joined 4 of the trees together to make this one. The wills are on mingay.one-name.net if anyone else finds a one name study fascinating. I'm just putting a tree together to see if my family connect :)

Definitely, in fact today it got so complicated I need one of those massive glass boards they write on in detective stories. I can't even navigate around it on Ancestry anymore, just have to do a search for the next person I need to look at!

I got some A3 layout paper recently and it came in handy today. See my latest blog post at www.dnajoy.co.uk for more about this but essentially it's a complicated tree with at least 1 double relationship going on.

I started making a serious effort to gather information from my inlaws, after casually doing my husband's tree and finding a set of siblings for a Gustav who might have been 'the' Gustav, and showing my FiL. He saw the youngest sibling name and exclaimed "oh yes, I remember great aunt Pally"

Other people buy handbags and shoes in the January sales. I'm going to be phoning Ancestry to get the £24.99 offer on protools I heard about

Might wait for warmer weather for the cemeteries though 🤔
