I need to do some extra review now that I have a new set of ancestors for my wife’s Butler Line. I had previously thought that the immigrant ancestor Edward Butler was the son of Michael Butler and Margaret Croke. This has turned out to be extremely unlikely. A more likely candidate now is Edward, son of Henry Butler and Anne Russel. This man was actually born Adam but went by Edward.<\/p>\n

Gedmatch<\/h2>\n

I had an early match between my late father-in-law Richard Butler and a Murphy descendant from New Brunswick. I can now map his DNA to Richard’s profile at DNAPainter. I have the match’s name as Nathan on my chart:<\/p>\n

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

By the chart, Nathan is Richard’s third cousin twice removed. Here are some expected shared DNA amounts for that relationship:<\/p>\n

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

Here is the match at Gedmatch:<\/p>\n

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

Here is Richard’s DNA Painter map currently:<\/p>\n

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

He shows Kerivan, Rooney and an unknown match. I’ll add in Nathan which represents Henry Butler or Anne Russell’s DNA:<\/p>\n

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

When I do that, I see that I already have Nathan, but listed as an unknown branch. Now that I know that Branch I can make the necessary changes.<\/p>\n

Note that there is no light blue bar for the X Chromosome as men do not receive on from their father – only their mother.<\/p>\n

Virginia and Butler DNA Matches<\/h2>\n

I have the same unknown Butler in VIrginia’s DNA Painter profile:<\/p>\n

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

We now know the common Butler ancestral couple to be Henry Butler from Wexford and his wife Anne Russel.<\/p>\n

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

Virginia is Lorraine’s sister and the Henry Butler DNA on Chromosome 4 is shared with James from FTDNA. Fortunately, I made that note on my chart. Also, I was fortunate to find her old FTDNA code in an old address book of mine.<\/p>\n

Here is Lorraine’s DNA Painter Profile for comparison:<\/p>\n

I should note that the birth years for George Butler and Henry Butler are guesses.<\/p>\n
