DNA

Maternal

• Anon (Helderman) Crewe and half sibling C.R.G. shared DNA 1904 cm across 63 segments have been tested by Ancestry autosomal DNA and were matched to mom, Claudia Williams. Triangulation relationships among confirmed cousins created DNA circles for Alexander Archibald Shaw and his wife Epsie Pearl Proctor, and Daniel Alexander Shaw which also match to both C.R.G. and Anon (Helderman) Crewe. First half cousin K.S.L., 299 cm across 17 segments, matches on matrilineal side, however they have a tree which wasn’t connected and never generated the internal dna circles that would have appeared if their tree were linked, or if they had submitted a gedmatch for report and ID. They shared personal matches, and they matched with relatives in the matrilineal Wallace, Swan, Shaw line. The male line on that side remains a mystery for all of us.
• DNA Circles on maternal side including multiple familial matches include:
  
  • Alexander Archibald Shaw (7 members)
    
  • Epsie Ann Pearl Proctor (7 members)
    
  • Daniel Alexander Shaw (23 members)

Paternal

Helderman DNA from our common ancestor of Johan Jacob Helderman (from Lincoln, NC to Monroe City, Knox, IN.) There seems to have a very strong correlation to a long span of segmrnts on the 18th chromosome between 13562354 - 65361691 and 65367619 - 68681691. 18th is not the only one that shows up, but it is consistently the longest one.

An anonymous second cousin, (399 cm, 22 segments) created a triangulation match to Lora Mae (Wood) Gillingham and [[Gillingham-791| John Calvin Gillingham. Resulting DNA circles or mutual matches based on John Calvin Gillingham family group includes Willlis Maron Gillingham, Hiram Silkwood Tatman, Mary Ann Silkwood, James Gillingham, Elizabeth Belle Tatman, Minerva Ann Rowe, Mary Catherine Ford, William F McClenning, and Thomas Simpson Tatman. These multiple matches confirm the Gillingham line back to James Gillingham, Connecticut.

Education

Anonymous has a B.A. in Linguistics. His interest was mostly foreign language, phonology and intercultural communication, but he also took classes in public relations.

Vocation

In early adulthood he worked as an ESL tutor and then as a fraud analyst for a major bank protecting customers against credit card fraud. He’d love to find some work in probate looking for heirs or in forensic genealogy for police detectives. He has a lot of transferable skills from years in risk doing Lexus nexus searches and sleuthing elusive credit card fraud perpetrators.
Later in life he moved to the New England area, where he currently lives as an artist with his significant other and two furry dog children. He works mostly in acrylic and charcoal, but sometimes also mixed media. So his alternate career is combining art and genealogy. He is an analytical and creative mind, full of curiosity.

Digital Will

To Whom it May Concern, Since I have had major surgery for a heart issue and ongoing health concerns, I give ownership of my research to wikitree in the event of my demise. Wikitree members are welcome to use the digital images of my art with attribution to Helderman-102, at any time, and are asked to not use my given name except in the case of my demise. I hope to contribute much more before that happens for my own personal legacy to future genealogists of my family or descendants.
