G2G: Question on Pearl (Hutchinson) Hill (1905-1988) is there any aboriginal heritage in this part of the family?

Question

Regarding Pearl (Hutchinson) Hill ... I’m doing some research into the family tree to confirm aboriginal heritage. This is my great great grandmother - do you know of any aboriginal heritage in this part of the family? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Is it coincidence?  I was working on the family line this week due to a DNA mystery match to my husband.  Even though hubby's Surname is Hill, I do not think Hill line is relevant. I was looking at several "Ballinger" DNA Matches/links.

Catherine Taylor [Taylor-122206] I have from online familly trees.
FamilySearch ID: LYDJ-14D

Catherine's daughter Eliza (Pearl's mother) married Arthur Ballinger (1857-1913) son of Hannah Hopkins [Hopkins-19435] and Thomas Balligner [Ballinger-1344].

Catherine is stated born about 1832 in Tasmania and Died 1921 Richmond Victoria Australia.

Have not found any first nation connections.  (does not mean there is not any)

I have quite a few profiles and generations I could add to this family line (when I find reliable sources).

I could add this as yet another WikiTree project for me to do....

May be that would help me find the mystery DNA match....

Answer 2

Three of Pearl's grandparents were born in England. More reserch needs to be done on her maternal grandmother Taylor-122206 Catherine (Taylor) Cozens/Cousins (abt.1832-1921) - possibly obtaining a marriage or death certificate to establish the details.
