Leslie you absolutely got 50% of your autosomal DNA from your mother Stella Goudie who would have gotten 50% of her autosomal DNA from her father, James William Goudie, which means 25% of your autosomal DNA is from James William Goudie. This also means you inherited 12.5% of your autosomal DNA from the father of James William Goudie, i.e. your great grandfather.
Actually, 23andMe and Ancestry does DNA testing on our Autosomal DNA only which everyone (male and female) inherits from both their parents – 50% from their father and 50% from their mother. So Leslie your test results from 23andMe could be compared to Sheldon’s to see if you are related but, since you used different providers, only if you both uploaded your raw DNA to the free website GEDmatch.com
Living DNA, in addition to Autosomal DNA, also tests for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA). The Y is the male line. Mitrochondrial DNA is the female line, inherited by both sexes but passed on only by females.
Sorry, we are actually talking about your mother’s grandfather’s siblings.
Stella’s father John William Goudie (1859-1908).
John William Goudie’s father was John Goudie.
Could her John Goudie be the John Goudie known as “Jock” (abt 1834-1901) who is known to have had a son George born about 1877?Leslie, you really should consider having your mom’s DNA done at Ancesty! I had mine done. They use a little saliva … it’s simple.
Hopefully, your mom might be able to dredge up some bits of information about George, such as could he have been her father’s youngest sibling?
Side note: A woman named Mary Louisa Goudie married John James Montague 26 Sep 1878. She died 15 Aug 1894 and her death record states she was age 45, which would mean she was born about 1849.
No problem. That’s great if you stimulate her memory; hopefully, she might remember some stories her father told her over the years.
She mentioned George Goudie who was a brother to her father. That could be a clue because I know of a George Goudie born to “Jock” about 1877 – he was listed as single and 34 living with his widowed mother Elizabeth (Blake) Goudie on the 1911 census for Rigolet, Labrador. See if she can remember any story about her uncle George Goudie. Could they be the same person? Were there any stories of Labrador?The John Goudie who married the Cree woman was baptized 27 Aug 1798 at Orphir, Orkney, Scotland, United Kingdom, son of John Goudie (born abt 1774) and Isabel Slettar.
Among their children was John known as “Jock” born about 1834 at Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada. “Jock” married Elizabeth Blake (1840-1920), daughter of John Blake and Sarah Phippard.
“Jock” and Elizabeth probably had several children but I only know of George Goudie born about 1877 at Traverspine, Labrador.
It is possible “Jock” or one of his brothers had children who left Labrador. “Jock” died at Traverspine 15 Dec 1901.
Leslie SWitzer, it might help to talk to Stella to see if she can loosen any memories or clues.
Thanks for the new information. Sheldon please send me an email message to lkasn36@yahoo.com
AidenSheldon I know of another line of Goudies in Labrador whose family named morphed from Gaudin. They start with George Gaudin bap. Dec 4, 1831 at St. Peter’s Parish, Jersey, Channel Islands. He married Emily Julia Dumaresq whose father also came from Jersy. George left Jersey about 1850 and worked for the De Quetteville Bros. business in Blanc Sablon, Labrador. Some of their children born from 1860 to 1868 became known as, or adopted, the Goudie name. Their known children were: Susanne, Elizabeth Jane, George Frederick, Alice and Amelia Melvina. All of them were born along the Straits coast of Labrador.
John Goudie (1798-abt 1866-68) was the first Goudie in Labrador. He and his family arrived at North West River about 1844 not long after the Hudson Bay Company post was established there in 1836. They came from Fort Chimo at which post he had been serving since arriving there from Moose Factory with his wife and three children in September 1835. He left the Company’s service in 1849 and settled at Traverspine on the Grand River. His spouse was a Cree woman given the name Lousia. Their known children were: William, Donald, John (Jock), Joseph, Mary and Agnes.
Sheldon, do you have your tree available online. If I saw your Goudie line back far enough I might be able to help. Although I don’t know of a line spreading from Labrador to Newfoundland it is quite possible. Aiden
