My last Blog on Penny is here<\/a>. That was prior to ThruLines. I also wrote a Blog on Penny’s sister Toni here<\/a>. Toni’s DNA is not linked to her tree, so she does not have ThruLines.<\/p>\n

Penny’s Genealogy<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penny is in red in the lower left. She descends for William Fitzgerald Frazer. This tree is based on research by Frazer researcher, Joanna.<\/p>\n

William Fitzgerald Frazer Born 1821 Ireland<\/h3>\n

I am interested in William Fitzgerald Frazer:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penny mentions a biography in her Ancestry Tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was from\u00a0An illustrated history of Sacramento County, California. Containing a history of Sacramento County from the earliest period of its occupancy to the present time\u00a0<\/em>published in 1890. Penny further gives this chronology for William:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This raises questions as to the mother of the first three children. Penny also mentions another daughter Angelina G Frazer as mentioned in William’s will. She is named as Angeline G Law. That gives a hint:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1911, Angelina is listed as Gracella. I assume that was her middle name:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This puts William Fitzgerald in Leitrim in the 1840’s. Here is another interesting record:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this record Angelina “Gracenda” is listed as Augustine. Here is Angelina’s wedding publication from 1872 – not long after her father’s divorce:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This more specifically puts William in Drumkeerin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That means that William Fitzgerald Frazer lived in Drumkeeran. He had Angelina Gracenda around 1843. His second daughter appears to have been Mary Ann Frazer. Penny has her born in 1844.<\/p>\n

Mary Ann Frazer<\/h4>\n

Mary Ann married in 1864:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About a year later, these two were living in Poughkeepsie, New York:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thomas Quinton may be William’s father. Margaret Frazier is Mary A’s sister. Poughkeepsie is on the Hudson River:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How Can the DNA Help Us?<\/h2>\n

Right now on the James side of the Frazer Tree, descendants have been placed into two main branches:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is an Archibald Branch on the left where Penny is. There is a Michael Branch on the right. There is an Elizabeth branch in the middle also. However, her daughter Catherine Knott married Archibald believed to be the son of Michael on the right side. We can use the DNA matches to test the genealogies above. First, I try to see if the DNA supports that the people within the box on the left match each other. Then I see if they match the people in the box on the right at the appropriate levels.<\/p>\n

Penny’s ThruLines<\/h3>\n

Penny’s first cousin level ThruLines are good:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

89% of the time Penelope’s match with Pamela should be a 1st cousin once removed or similar relationship:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penny’s ThruLines with William Fitzgerald Frazer<\/h3>\n

At Penny’s Frazer great grandparent level there are no new ThruLines. There are some at the 2nd great-grandparent level:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These matches are from the descendants of Mary Ann Frazer. I’ll start a chart for Penn y:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penny and Frazer Third Great-grandfather ThruLines<\/h3>\n

This part goes beyond Penny’s Ancestry Tree to work that Frazer reasearcher Joanna has done:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here there are 7 matches to Penny on the Thomas Henry Frazer Line. Joanna has that Thomas Henry Frazer was born in Drumkeerin, so there is that connection. Joanna is on the Edward F Frazer Branch. I should point out that Penny has no matches on the Edward Wynn Branch:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Edward Wynn is the brother in the middle group above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penny’s Distant ThruLines<\/h3>\n

When I put the common ancestor up two more generations to James Frazer born about 1720, I pick up two additional matches for Penny:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These two matches were recently added under Michael to explain DNA matches. It would make sense that Penny could match these two, as the theory is that Mary married William Frazer:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding Penny’s ThruLines to Madeline’s and Charlotte’s<\/h2>\n

Although Penny doesn’t share any ThruLine matches with Madeline and Charlotte, they both match some of the same matches as shown in blue below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that Charlotte’s match to JS above is really Janet. The question is: if Penny, Charlotte and Madeline have many of the same ThruLines, then why doesn’t Penny match Charlotte and Madeline? I suppose there could be many explanations:<\/p>\n
