WikiTree Day Attendee: 2022
Greg Clarke migrated from WikiTree to 🕳Rabbit🕳Holes🕳.
I was born on January 16th, 1964, and originally named Kelly John Douglas. As my birth parents were both young teenagers, as was common, I was given up for adoption. Eventually I was officially adopted by Pat and Bernadette Clarke, farmers from Uptergrove, Ontario, Canada, and my name officially changed to Gregory Patrick Clarke - the only name I ever remember answering to. If you switch to my adoptive self's profile, you can view the Clarke/McIsaac family tree.
I went to Uptergrove Public School, Twin Lakes Secondary School in Orillia, the University of Waterloo (BMath, 1988) and University of Western Ontario (BEd, 1988). I became a high school Mathematics and Computer Science teacher where I have worked for the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board since. In my last ten years of teaching, I was part of a special project developing online activities to help students with mathematics, housed at http://mathies.ca
In November 2017, I did the Ancestry DNA test, and along with the Ethnic mix (47% Great Britain ; 29 % Ireland/Scotland/Wale ; 10% Iberian Peninsula ; 6% Europe South) - I also had matches to some cousins I never knew - including a 1st and 2nd cousin (who turned out to be a 1st cousin once removed!). After applying for a copy of my original birth certificate, and discovering the actual names of my birth parents (Dwight Ashley Douglas + Pauline Denise Marcoux) - I was able to find out exactly how I was related to these new cousins, and discovered that in fact, I had a full sister and full brother (my parents stayed together and got married!), and a half-sister (from my dad). Emails, phone calls, and eventually meeting face to face has now reunited me with a family I never knew I had.
On June 30, 2018, I retired from education, after a very enjoyable and fulfilling career of thirty years. I am now the Music Director for Guardian Angels parish in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, as well as the webmaster for the Ontario Association for Mathematics Education, which I have done for the majority of my teaching career, and plan to continue for the foreseeable future in my retirement. In between church music and website work, I'm now enjoying the freedom to explore lots of family tree branches, and working with WikiTree.
Along with getting more involved in WikiTree, becoming a regular co-host to the Saturday Roundup livecast, as well as various 'thon events, I've also connected with other genealogy and DNA endeavours. I'm part of the mitoYDNA.org team, and also part of the organizing committee for the East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference, held annually in Baltimore, MD.
Apps List
Related to that freedom (mentioned above ..) - I have created a number of WikiTree apps, you can view them all on my Apps home page. Below are some of the more popular.
- Fan Chart - a tool to display your Ancestors in a Fan Chart, from 3 to 11 generations.
- Six Degrees of You - an app to display all your Connections, up to 7 degrees now, in ring or family tree format.
- Ancestry Citation Builder - allows you to create links to Ancestry.com sources or images for citations that other Wikitreers can view, even non-subscribers.
- Ancestor Webs - a family tree visualization app that allows you to see multiple connections between two WikiTree profiles - especially useful with endogamous family trees (previously known as Relative SpiderWebs)
- DNA Confirmation Citation Maker - an app designed to help you create proper source citations to add to your profiles to record your DNA Confirmations.
- The Super Tree - a family tree building app that allows you to create a Super Big Family Tree showing up to 7 generations of ancestors and/or descendants, cousin branches and in-laws; totally customizable.
- NEW Photo Lines - an app to build a visual line of paternal or maternal ancestors to you, using their profile pictures, which you can then embed on your own profile page!
- Not an app, but I did create a Google Spreadsheet for downloading Ancestry DNA matches info and the link to the G2G post gives details on how to use it.
- Similarly for MyLivingDNA.com matches.
- NEW as of August 2024 : I've created a new Spreadsheet that allows you to organize your Matches of Matches, which you can view on AncestryDNA with a Pro Tools subscription. Watch the YouTube video first, all the way through, to understand how it all works. The link to the Spreadsheet is in the notes on the YouTube video. You may also wish to consult the FAQ & Tips Google Doc for Pro Tips, before opening up the Spreadsheet itself.

Testing Research Note
A DNA Confirmation via Triangulation was made between 5 DNA test takers who share a common ancestral couple, Ignace Rouillard & Marie Anne Desranleau. The DNA test takers are Elaine Merrill, Marie Dulice Pronovost, Blanche Pronovost, Roland Barrette, Adeline Homier, and they all share a common segment of DNA that is 33 centiMorgans (cM) on chromosome 7. The common ancestral couple are the great grandparents of Adeline, and the 3x great grandparents of Marie Dulice, Blanche, and Roland, and the 4x great grandparents of Elaine. The 5 DNA testers descend from 5 different children of the common ancestors. As of the date of this research note, the DNA testers collectively have documented 87.8 % of their ancestors on WikiTree, up to the generation of the MRCAs, Ignace and Marie Anne; individually, they have 76%, 100%, 100%, 90%, 73%, respectively.
There are 2 additional DNA testers who are descendants of the common ancestors and who share the common segment of DNA. Annette Houde is a 3x great grandchild, and Greg Clarke is a 6x great grandchild of the common ancestors, but they descend from Ignace and Marie Anne in multiple ways and/or are too distantly related for a reliable autosomal match, so it can't be determined which path to follow to confirm the origin of the common DNA segment that is shared with the others.
There are no other common ancestors within ten generations of this group of DNA test takers, based on their ancestors on WikiTree, as of the date of this note. Should additional branches be added to their family trees, a re-examination of common ancestors would be prudent. According to the current WikiTree pedigree, all the DNA test takers listed above descend from the common ancestor/ancestral couple of Ignace and Marie Anne. If the link between each child and parent in the relationship chain is genealogically sound, with sources, then this DNA evidence supports those relationship claims.

- Paternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Greg Clarke and his second cousin, TK. Their most-recent common ancestors are their great grandparents, Herbert Douglass and Sophia Robb. Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 2nd Cousins, based on sharing 221 cM across 11 segments; Confidence: Extremely High.
- Maternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Greg Clarke and his second cousin, JL. Their most-recent common ancestors are their great grandparents, Donat Cloutier and Marie Anne Trudel. Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 2nd Cousins, based on sharing 232 cM across 12 segments; Confidence: Extremely High.
- Paternal relationship is also confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA test results on mitoYDNA.org. Greg Clarke, mitoYDNA kit # T12922, and his third cousin, Fred (great-grandchild of Richard Douglass), mitoYDNA kit # T15220, (compare kits), match with a YSTR+ Difference at 8 of 838, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is William Douglass, the 2x great grandfather of both Greg Clarke and Fred. Both Greg and Fred belong to haplogroup R-FT8806. (Clarke-11007 20:18, 17 May 2024 (UTC))

Because in the last one you seamed intrigued by the paternal ancestors of Gershom Mendes Seixas, and in case you are interested, Gershom is descendant of Portuguese New-Christians (ie. descendant of the Jews that were converted in 1496/1497 in Portugal). Many of them were Crypto-Jews, i.e they practiced a form o Judaism in secret. We can not know for sure what went in the hearts of minds of them, but what he know is that generation after generation of his ancestors and extended family were arrested and persecuted by the Portuguese Inquisition - accused of heresy, apostasy and Judaism.
His grandfather, António Mendes Seixas, was arrested in 1702(1). In 1725 he was living in Lisbon with his wife Beatriz Mendes da Silva and their children, one of them was Rafael . At that time the family fled to London, probably to escape a new persecution by the Inquisition that could be fatal. In London they returned to the normative Judaism. Antonio toke the name of Abraham Mendes Seixas, Brites toke the name Abigail and Rafael become Isaac. Isaac had some conflict with his father and moved to north America (one of his children was Gershom).
There is this talk about how the Mendes Seixas was traced and connected: "'Vindos de Portugal': Tracking the background of Portuguese refugees in 18th-century London (@45m32s: An example: searching for Abraham Mendes Seixas)"., Youtube - Sephardic Genealogy, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLJqkwa7eDU&t=2725s

I've thoroughly enjoyed your apps - particularly the fan chart and the Super Tree. The apps make it SO much easier to visualize (1) what needs adding and (2) interesting relationships. The Super Tree comes closest to having my own "tree drawer", highlighting relationships of interest.
I notice one thing 'missing' from the Super Tree. On my mother's side, there are two instances (about 100 years apart) where brother and sister marry sister and brother. But the Super Tree only shows one of the marriages. I'd love to see an enhancement where both connections are shown.
Added note: I did notice that if you expand on cousins, both marriages are shown, although the profiles are duplicated on the tree.
Thanks for what you do. Peter Boonstra, Boston

This is Chris from the Italy Project. As part of the annual project check-in, can you fill in the project survey? This will let us know that you are still interested in the project and which teams you'd like to participate in.
Thanks and have a great day!

It’s time for our annual Ireland Project check-in! Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating in the Ireland Project, and your badge will be removed. If you wish to reapply for membership later, we will be happy to have you back. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Jen Hutton, on behalf of the Ireland Project
Using the "Colourize Repeats" option in a heavily endogamic population will produce charts with many names unreadable (black text over very dark blues or purples). This happens even with the "Show Name Highlights" option.
It would be possible to improve the colours? ie not ignore "Show Name Highlights" in the cells with "Colourize Repeats"?
Thanks.
At some point, I'd like to revisit this - and - if you're willing to help out with some testing, send me a private message, and I'll add you to the list! - Greg
Well written, interesting biography, too. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have two families to connect to - two sets of parents to know. It's a blessing.

How impossible would it be to get Relative Spiderwebs working for multiple (think four, five, etc.) profiles? I can run the combinations separately and then posit connections by comparing, but it is exactly what I would like to see to lay out how multiple lines connect to each other.
I have a couple of sample profiles you could use for testing if you think it would work.
Thanks!
I'm trying to use your wonderful Fan Chart app to create wall art for relatives. Do you have any plans to support "Highlight DNA Confirmed" on the .pdf creation option? I tried doing a screen grab, but the graph the snipping tool saves doesn't scale up to poster size well enough. I know that the "DNA Confirmed" data might not seem like a candidate since it's dynamic, but I'd like to show it to encourage more cousins to get tested. Thanks! Bernard Ellis
Congrats on the Super Star Badge!
Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

In appreciation with all your work here, Maggie (aka Magda Maria)
Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!
Kind regards,
Pippin Sheppard ~ WikiTree’s Appreciation Team
PS: Very cool the church choir directing. I dabbled a little in that myself over the years.
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

Greg and Janine are 25th cousins once removed
Cousin, Janine
I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on this: "It would be nice if there was a way to easily link DNA matches (from Ancestry, 23andMe, etc…) who are WikiTreers to your profile."
I'd really like a better way to track my own matches. Those who are WikiTree members and those who aren't. But if they aren't it has to be done privately, and that's really getting far afield from our mission.
OK ... how could we easily link DNA matches? Easy to say, maybe not as easy to implement. Here are some initial thoughts.
--> SO .. if THOSE names of those potential DNA matches (who are not my own personal DNA test results) could be collected in one location, along with their DNA test details (company / results / user ID ), then it would be easier to narrow down who to check on . --> Going one step further - IF I myself have tested at the same company as another WikiTreer who might be a potential match (from the list above) - I wonder if there is a way to generate a URL link that could take us directly to that company's website and do a comparison between the two userids (mine and the potential match). Sort of how we have that ability with GEDcom right now (if you're logged in already). That of course depends on the individual company and their APIs, and so that might be dreaming .. --> FINALLY, if we DO find that John Smith on WikiTree is also a DNA match based on a company DNA test result, it would be nice to have a way to record that in our profile, and then pull it up on a list somewhere for reference (or for our cousins to reference so they can compare their results too). This might be something that needs both WikiTreers to agree to this information being public before it can appear on a list that others can view.
That's kind of a long winded answer - not sure of the logistics of any of it, how easy/hard to do, but, that's my initial thoughts on the matter.
Take care, -Greg
Happy Wikitreeing! We also have a DNA match!
