Hi there Tim,
As of this moment I have 1032 12 marker exact matches including the 2 Catlin
and Cantley ones you have. I also have John David Cattley at 12 marker
distance 1.
The rest are as follows:
25 (-1) 9 matches
25 (-2) 125 matches
37 (-4) 2 matches
None of which are Cat*leys or anything like it.
Added to this, one of the 37 (-4) matches isn't a match at either of the 25
levels.
Obvious there is a science behind all this and part of that is them choosing
the markers they use for analysis.
I haven't spent alot of time recently trying to go back any further with my
Catley family but I have several thoughts running through my head:
1. Maybe my father's DNA has mutated more than the average. This theory
could be tested as one of Dad's grandfather's brothers' lines has living
males (but to confuse things they are the ones who changed their name to
Cateley).
2. As I haven't been able to find Zach's parents John and Elizabeth, the
options are:
the name may have been transcribed incorrectly (I have tried to be
creative),
there has been a name change,
"a cuckoo in the nest"
not recorded in the resources I use, or
I have missed it.
Unfortunately it could be any of these.
As for the Bean name at the 37 (-4) level, the link could be up to 12
generations earlier but of course I can't get back any further than 4
generations from Dad.
On a lighter note: Prince William is in Wellington....and came up this way.
We have a famous bird statuary, Kapiti Island, just off the beach where he
was taken to get up close to a kiwi and to go for a walk in the bush. It
just so happened to be about the nicest day of our (grotty) summer. Realise
I shouldn't complain about our weather with what's been going down over
there.
Regards
Jocelyn

Hi Jocelyn,
No, you are not going loopy at all, I should have indicated 1032 (current
number, right?) 12 Marker exact match.
Within this number I have 2 x Catlin and 2 x Cantley as well as your father
with the "proper" Catley name, presumably then, your match list shows these
same four persons?
Also have just one 12 Marker distance 1 match who is our Bilton Cat*ley tree
member.
Of the 10 matches at 25 Marker distance 2, there is only one Cat*ley who is
the same person as the 12 Marker distance 1.
At the 37 Marker distance 4, have just one match who of course, is the same
Cat*ley as at the one at 12 distance 1 and 24 distance 2.
I will never get to understand this dna matching caper as I can not see why
it is that at the 12 Marker level I am closer related to the lone person at
distance 1 than the 1032 with a direct match?
Surely though, if you have two 37 Marker distance 4 matches, they must
indicate quite a close connection despite the name difference?
Still confused
Tim

Hi there Tim,
Unless I'm going loopy, I thought that we have these two sets of 1026
(more
now) matches for an exact 12 marker match (not -1) where of course my
father
was an exact match, but only for 12 Markers.
Are your 10 matches at the 25 marker (-2) level with Cat*leys or other
names
? I have 2 at the 37 marker(-4) level. They are not Catleys but are
closely
related to each other.
Cheers
Jocelyn

Hello Liz,
Familytreedna autocontacts have now reached 1026 matches for me at : 12
Marker Genetic distance 1 which I ignore as none show a surname
association.
Putting aside the exciting : 37 Marker Genetic distance 4 match, which
indicates that the Edmund Catley of Bilton Ainstey tree and the Stevan
Catlay of Normanton one are linked, there remains the question in my mind
as
to how important (or otherwise) are my 10 matches showing on the 25 Marker
Genetic distance 2 ?
Puzzled but interested
Tim
