DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Janne by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage (beta) of DNA with Janne:
Hi Janne, do you have a personal interest in the Baikie family? I worked on them for the Tartan Trail and would be happy to transfer PM to you. I'm in South Texas. That was a miserable few days with no power, water or internet! Glad it is getting warm again.
I was working on the Traill family, and the several marriages into the Baikie family took me in their direction. The Baikie family appears to have more sources than the Traill, so just using them to sort things out. I don't need any more profiles, as I have more than my share already! But, thanks. jan
Hi Janne - I see that you edited the parents and bio of Elizabeth Traill. I'm wondering if this is a conflation of two different people. The Elizabeth referred to by William Traill of Woodwick has parents David Traill & Elizabeth Baikie - see the reference in the profile which you can also find here. https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalac00unkngoog/page/n62/mode/2up Before making a change I thought I'd ping you and ask if you know more... does the two-people theory make sense to you? Other thoughts?
According to that source, David Traill and Elizabeth Baikie are generation #4 and Elizabeth, born 1725, is generation #7. I live in Texas, and due to a big storm, we have rolling blackouts, but I am able to get to my computer this morning and will research this family further. I found several duplicates yesterday, and scheduled merges.
Hi Janne, good luck with the power situation, sounds like a mess down there! The PDF you linked seems like it has the same data as I was looking, at least pages 46-47 look the same to me. Please take a quick look to be sure, then we can fix it up. Looking forward to building out the Traill family with you.
No, always Blood, but then I'm picking them up after 1700 in Groton. There is still a "Blood" farm there. I have noted that folks like to spell phonetically in that era, so I see all sorts of variations on names "Lawrance" instead of "Lawrence" for example. "Chaney" vs "Cheney", but I have not seen variations on "Blood".
Just checked. 197 Bloods buried in Groton over the past 3 centuries. No Blouds. I have been working those cemeteries for the past 4-5 years, coverage of existing headstones is at 100%. Earliest one is John Blood https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78866514 1689-1758.
I have recently discovered some of your profiles. Your good work on the biographies, including listing children and their spouses, is much appreciated. I am using that information to add some profiles to the Bean line. Not a relative, but I do live near Comfrey, MN, probably not far from where some of the Beans spent time.
Hi Jan I would love for you to straigten out Henry Bagley's profile. I seem to spend a lot of time on Ancestry.com instead of wikitree. Thanks, Jean Marie Bagley
On James and Mehitable Hovey Moulton profile: Thoughts on reconciling the competing Findagrave memorials for her: # 11594905 at Old Storrs, Tolland Co., vs. # 46475499 at Windham Center (Old Burying), Windham Co.?? Both show physical memorials with engraved names. The former, however, seems to have only her plus later ones. But the latter aren't currently linked together, but presumably is where you got the list for WikiTree? My descent is via daughter Lucy, but I have only secondary sources for them. Do you have more sources for helping straighten out this discrepancy, and-or to add life to them? Sue Smith, [email address removed]
Janne, thanks for bringing Taylor-30407 and Taylor-37620 to my attention. Taylor-37620 should be removed as husband of Hannah Jennings and father of Grant Taylor. Information in Taylor-37620 profile is based on incorrect information.
Janne, I seem to have run into an issue. I/we may have two John Arnolds. I have entered John B. b 11/19/1752 Morristown NJ. Your John Arnold doesn't fit the dates.
Thank you so much for the link to information on the Bean family. My great-great grandfather was Clemenza Thompsons brother. I am working to confirm the name of her father and grandfather. This will help! KatherineThompsonJones.
Somehow I just got your March 2019 message on the spelling of Schultz. My ancestors spelled it Schölze and changed it when they came to the USA in 1732. One part of the family spelled it without the c.
Regards Elaine
I am now working from an earlier manuscript: A Genealogical Account of the Traills of Orkney, by William Traill of Woodwick, M.D., Kirkwall: J. Calder. Publisher, 1883. Downloadable pdf available here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Genealogical_Account_of_the_Traills_of_O/tDENAAAAYAAJ?hl=en

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15158027/george-hubbard It does have parents attached who are incorrect. The dates alone should be a clue.
