One of my Scottish g g grandmothers surname was spelled differently on every record of her (ie birth, marriage birth of children)MacClure, MacAleer, McLure, McCleary, McLeary are just a few…..I have many other examples. When folk were illiterate others spelled names for them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello, new followers! You might like my book, ANCESTOR TROUBLE, if you're interested in family history, genealogy, mental health, generational trauma, systemic harms, and spiritual practices around ancestors and our alienation from those practices in Western modernity. maudnewton.com/book/ancesto...

My g g g grandmother immigrated alone to Australia from Germany and married shortly after arrival having a baby 5 months later. She had given birth a year earlier in Germany to a baby girl who died - father unknown. Her sibling remained in Germany and no clue there as to the father. #genealogy

Sharn White @sharnwhite.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I completely agree with you. I was explaining NPE to someone and felt I should use both used terms. I prefer Not Parent Expected as well but both are frequently used by different people. #DNA

NPE is Not Paternal Event or Not Parent Expected. My German GGG grandfather was not the biological father of my g g grandfather. On a mission to discover through #DNA who was. #genealogy

My German family haven’t been too difficult to trace ( I have most limes quite far back) but I have a German NPE ( 3 x g grandfather) and not enough German DNA matches to help solve the mystery. #genealogy #germanancestors
