<\/a><\/p>\nMy grandmother was Marion M Frazer and her father was James Archibald Frazer. It appears that James’ father George had two Frazer parents. To confuse things more, James’ mother was a McMaster whose maternal great-grandmother was a Frazer. It is this Frazer\/McMaster Line that I would like to look at.<\/p>\n
My Match with BV<\/h2>\n
I have a pretty good match with BV considering that she is a 3rd cousin twice removed. Perhaps because of the different ways we are related. Margaret Frazer was married to William McMaster. The family moved to Ontario from Ireland. However, my ancestor, Fanny remained in Ireland and married yet another McMaster.<\/p>\n Here are the DNA clusters that I have with BV:<\/p>\n Before I get into it, it seems my best DNA tree is on the McMaster side:<\/p>\n Sometimes simple is better. Here is Robert:<\/p>\n Robert is from the James McMaster Line I was mentioning above. mt must be Robert’s sister:<\/p>\n Here is part of my McMaster DNA Tree:<\/p>\n I added in mt today.<\/p>\n I hope that this cluster will be as easy as the first. ck manages B.V.’s kit and is her daughter. It is not obvious to me how Steven and Alannah fit in. Alannah has a pretty good tree:<\/p>\n Johnston is a name associated with Frazer in Ireland. This could be the connection. I have this connection in my tree:<\/p>\n Catherine could be a daughter of William and Mary or John and Jane.<\/p>\n Here I see 4 clusters. But clusters three and four overlap on Clif and Cluster 1 and 2 overlap on BV and John. This is not surprising considering the Frazers and McMasters intermarrying in my ancestry.<\/p>\n This is similar to the 3 match cluster above going back to William McMaster and Margaret Frazer. The difference is the addition of Matthew. I know who Matthew is:<\/p>\n Matthew is my third cousin.<\/p>\n Matthew gives a hint as to Cluster 2. They should be descended from George Frazer and Margaret McMaster. They are all in my Frazer DNA tree already:<\/p>\n I left out my branch, as those matches would be closer than I set the DNA limits.<\/p>\n Some overlap makes sense as we have a McMaster\/Frazer cluster next to a Frazer\/McMaster cluster.<\/p>\n I know who Gladys is:<\/p>\n Our connection goes back to two Frazers. Namely, James and Violet:<\/p>\n Kathryn is first cousin or niece to Sandra:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It appears that most of the others that I can’t figure out in this Cluster are close relatives to Sandra and Kathryn.<\/p>\n Next is Clif who straddles Cluster 3 and Cluster 4. Here is his tree:<\/p>\n He is also shown as related to Gladys and could be her 1st cousin twice removed. I assume that his connection is on his paternal side which is missing some information.<\/p>\n I don’t have a good handle on this cluster. I have been in touch with the administrator for CA’s DNA and she says there is a Frazer connection on her maternal side.<\/p>\n These 4 clusters seem someewhat discrete. Cluster 4 does not match with Cluster 3 and Cluster 4 does not match with Cluster 2 except for Clif who I have already mentioned above.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nMy Clusters with BV<\/h2>\n
