This week I made my biggest ever breakthrough on my tree, when I managed to solve a 20 year brickwall, thanks to the powers of DNA. For 20 years I have had one 'missing' great great grandfather.
Of my 16 great great grandparents, one has always been listed as 'unknown father', well not anymore!!!!!
If I said it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, well before, I didn't even know which haystack to even look in!!!!

Congratulations and how I envy you. My great grandfather on my maternal side is my brick wall and his mother wasn't helpful with middle names or seeking support. Of her four children only one was born to her husband. He died 12 months after their marriage and DNA matches are not helping at all on this line.
You may have inspired me to have another go at it.
