I have lived in an inner London suburb with my husband and son for some 30 years. I was born in Bedfordshire and my mother's family were mainly based there and in the surrounding counties, and London. Many worked in Agriculture and Brewing and had very large families, so to find work they took their skills to Canada, Australia and North America where I have very many DNA matches. My father's family were from Lancashire and Yorkshire and many were Weavers and Miners and similarly their offspring took their skills to those countries and again I have countless DNA matches to their descendants.
