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?Hi Leslie, Lilly Ann Goudie is my Great Grandmother. My grandfather is Albert Goudie. Apparently Lilly was married to her 1st cousin, William, who was the son of George Goudie or Joseph Goudie, who died in a smelting accident at Little Bay Mines in February 1888. It appears he may have been brother or half brother to John Goudie, who was married to Eliza Coombs, my great great grandparents. I have done a DNA test with LivingDNA and it appears our native ancestors are 4 to 5 generations back from me…I test at anywhere from 8 to 12 percent indigenous on Gedmatch.
Thank you, Sheldon. That’s good to know. Being female, I could only get results from my maternal line. My Dad’s line is English/German/Dutch. I’ve always wanted to talk to a Goudie male who could confirm the Cree rumour. I was excited to find this forum last night when I searched for the name John Goudie.
My DNA is on 23andMe.
My Mom, Stella Teresa Goudie was born to James William Goudie and Sarah Leach, who was from Ayr, Scotland. They met when he was recovering from an illness he picked up being stationed in Egypt during the war and they met and married in Ayr.
James’ father was either John William, or William John. I just have in my notes that he went by John. That would be the same guy, so maybe it was Jock that he went by and not John. Was it Jock or Jacques? John was married to Eliza Coombs, so they are my great-grandparents.
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.
Upload your DNA results to Gedmatch and start an account there. The basic account is free and then we can compare our results to determine a genetic match. Let me know if you need help setting it up…look forward to seeing your results on there!
Hi. I am on GEDMatch. I haven’t looked at it in years, but I just managed to sign in. Leslie Switzer, nickname Greyfort. (Leslie is a Celtic Name meaning she of the grey fortress, or something like that).
I asked my Mom if she remembers her grandparents, John and Eliza. She said she only met them a couple of times, before the age of 7.
Unfortunately, my grandmother was very homesick for Ayr, so she was constantly going back home, dragging her children with her. So my Mom spent a few years as a toddler and then again from the age of 7 through 12 in Ayr. So she never got to know her Goudie side of the family very well.
Aiden I’m looking at my 500 list, and I don’t see her listed within that group. I’m not sure what to make of that. If I had her kit number I could do a one to one and check that way.
We have to if John and Eliza are my great-grandparents and his great-great grandparents.
It’s so great to finally find someone on my own line. I was always running into Herb Goudie’s line and I knew they weren’t mine. Mine seemed to be some mysterious line that no one knew anything about.
The only reason I know anything is because I had a friend who was a genealogist and she helped me with the research.
It says User Profile 89259.
My Kit # is M247695, Kit Type V4. Maybe I haven’t uploaded my DNA profile? I’m not sure where it would tell me that.
Eliza lived to be 96 years old…she married a Robert Oldford years after John passed and lived in Grand Falls at 1 Circular Rd with her daughter I believe until she passed in 1956.
I just ran your kit against mine, YC666330 and apparently we share no dna… at least not above the 7 cm threshold. Strange result to say the least…I expected at least a small match??
I’ve been at her grave. My Mom’s cousin Neale Wells took me there. I think I may have a photo of it on my computer.
I’ve got my raw data downloaded to my computer, but when I try to attach the file it tells me it’s an invalid name.
