Hello, I was working on my Irish family and I created Joseph Ware (abt.1598-1648).

Happy to see his father and mother are set up already, but I cant link them due to protection.

Could you link them please? Thank you

Thanks for creating their son. All connected.

Can you provide your sources for the parents shown? Ware Family History: Descendants from Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Kings ...

By Wanda Ware DeGidio the parents are Christopher, son of John and "unknown" Whittington. See Christopher Ware

posted by Robin Lee
I understood Wanda has a DNA profile can that be added to this profile? It would really help clear up the confusion one way or another. Although I would like to see at lest 2-3 different DNA profiles known to be decendants to be positive the matches are correct. One is not as reliable.

DNA alone is not a source, The Whittington must be connected via records

DNA is not the only source but it is the best. There are several circumstances that can make record unreliable.

Many children were 'The wrong side of the blanket' as the saying goes. Also many children were adopted and given family names on paper. Not to mention adultery. I prefer to rely on DNA as a main source for my connections. I do like to see more than a single person source for the DNA matches though.

Thanks Lena, I would be interested to see the DNA triangulation. It would need a mitochondrial (unbroken female) DNA lineage to show a match to a woman living 500 years ago. Autosomal DNA would only be good for 5 or 6 generations if you were lucky with autosomal transmission to the descendants.

I agree, I also would like to find 2-3 MtDNA matches which is really the only way to to 100% sure of any line this far back.
