Sandra in Sydney BS: my mysterous dna (65* d) RE: BS: my mysterous dna 18 Nov 14


One of my father's grandmothers was born in 1860 & ILLEGITIMATE was very boldly written cross her birth certificate in the column for parent's marriage!

When she was 25 her parents married (dunno if g-g.mother & her 7 younger siblings were present) as her mother's (first) husband has finally died. Her father's first wife had died sometime earlier.

I wasn't sure how my father's 70 year old spinster cousin would react when I told her - but she was a modern Catholic woman & merely said 'I wonder if she knew, of course she would have as she would have needed her birth certificate when she started nursing!'

Dad said this grandmother looked like the "old Queen" - ie. Queen Alexandra, Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law, tho I've never seen a photo of her.
