I had been contacted by a distant relative tonight to discuss our common relations. After looking on my ancestry and looking at that lines DNA matches, I was able to place the celebrity that I had been contacted about several years ago from Off the Wall productions ( Who do you think you are UK!) I had a DNA match and no information other then XYZ123. I kept tabs on that match and they finally named it as Kate Ford! Kate played a character (Tracy) on Coronation Street.

I was browsing through NAA to see if anything new had been added, and I came across my Great Uncle Arthur Dodds' WW2 record, along with a picture! Fantastic!
I also found records for George James Bisdee ( he is my great grandfather George John's nephew, Alfred's son. Alfred was also the father of John Hutton and Joseph Bisdee who took their life's in Mundaring. ( I have made a post previously about this sad story on the 10/2/2020 Under the Bisdee category.) Also a photo of Alexander William John Younger, my great grandmother Daisy Bisdee ( Nee Younger) nephew. I love finding information about my families. Finding out the Dodds were Border Raiders ( Border Reivers) was very cool! Then when my Uncle had his YDNA ( This test follows the male line back) we had a lot of Matches with Milburn so at some stage the Millburn's morphed into the Dodds, and this connection I have not found as of yet. Here is some information I have found through my searching!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_reivers A newspaper clipping written about my 2 x great uncle John after his death in 1903

AuthorMy name is Davina and I have been researching my family history since 2011. I started with almost nothing but ended up with a wealth of information and I needed an outlet to show and display all the information I have found. Archives
