Interesting

 Thursday morning followed the usual pattern. School, Ocado, and Sainsbury's.

AT lunchtime the Gorse Fox received an email from a chap with whom he has previously corresponded regarding a partial DNA match. Steven has finally tracked down his father and completed a "tree" to show where we intersect. The Gorse Fox decided to review the details as there were several names that did not seem familiar. Essentially, it looks as if his link is sound and we intersect at the Gorse Fox's Great-great grandfather. Digging deeper into the records (to verify the work that had been presented) the Gorse Fox realised his 2G-grandfather remarried after his first wife (the Gorse Fox's 2G-grandmother) had died. Steven is linked through this second wife.

The research was interesting because while verifying the information the Gorse Fox dug up several new relatives that were previously unknown, and realised that Steven had misaligned a few people.
