The Brackenburys' are a family with HISTORY! but all ancestors are interesting - it's their connection to ourselves and the depth of investigation that becomes obsessive! The big problem with history as written/deciphered by others who were not present at the portrayed time is that their own viewpoint can distort, colour and influence that history. More sources, the better your evidence. When evaluating an episode in history that surrounds your ancestor it is necessary to immerse yourself in that historic time frame and empathise with the social climate and understand your ancestors status. Read EVERYTHING and make your own conclusions, gut instinct is a remarkable tool. The descendants of second marriages were often dismissed by armorial heralds as it brought to light the standard of legitimacy. I understand that it was not too far back in English history that children from a first marriage were disinherited by children from a second marriage? Understandably, a bit of a problem if there was a Royal title or even a Throne involved. Illegitimacy and bastards were not uncommon - the higher the social status the more they were accepted and acknowledged. Look at English Royalty history! There is possibly a connection to other families of similar social standing within the North as during those turbulent 15 /16 Century allies were important to whatever cause they stood for. A son was your soldier, a daughter a bargaining commodity. Rich or poor, they all have stories. Happy hunting!

BTW ... did you group your dad's DNA with the other Ogle yDNA at FTDNA? I think there's a much larger Ogle base at Ancestry.com, but initially the yDNA grouping began on FTDNA. A few months ago, an Ogle cousin submitted a huge test (I think it's the big y with the 111? markers), so that might come in handy down the road. My brother gifted me a 12-marker, and I need to upgrade it too... so I get it:) We have plenty of time!
I only have a y dna result for my father which won't be much help as I could only afford a 12 point test, there are millions of matches to that! At least I have had it done, just need the funds for upgrading the dna stored.
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.
Add the project tag to your Following list to be kept up to date on any activity that occurs for that project.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
