Clare family: In 2012 Carolyn contacted ehschultz who is a descendant of John Clare, sister of Elizabeth who married Isaac Oram. Helpful, would share research, other Somerset names Pond, Biggin, Bacon (John b 1814 at Ditcheat moved to Wells). No ancestry tree. Oct 2018 not on our DNA lists, do not know if he has taken the test. Oct 2018 Carolyn e-mailed sweetontexas who manages S.G. on Chris and Carolyn’s match list. Ancestors in Ditcheat named Chinnock. On ancestry found a Chinnock marrying a Clare in Ditcheat in 1740s. No reply so far.

THEADORA’s message including Oram Matches:
Hello, Carolyn,
My name is Theadora Francis (username bwdemo) & I tested my DNA with my nieces DF & CF. I’m not sure how we appear on other people’s match lists. Of the matches you mentioned, I only see rh460 on my own match list. I don’t see anyone under the name VF.
If I type the name Oram for my own DNA, I get 6 matches with that name in their trees:
rmwerner15 [could not find], susanlukrich [not on our match lists], and A.C. managed by didilu [could not find](who are all descendants from my line from my great-great-grandparents Robert Francis who married Sarah Oram). Then rh460, dibraid [Sue’s cousin in Australia] & BFlowers68 [not on our match lists] who are more distant.
For my niece, CF, her Oram matches are some the same as mine & Shelley_White, and B.J. (managed by Shelley_White [could not find]), and strikemaster2000 [not on our match lists]
My other niece DF has some of the same (including rh460) and sandygardner1007 [not on our match lists]
I know I need to fill out my extended Oram family tree better & appreciate the clues pointing toward confirmation of our relationship earlier in my tree. I know that familytreedna allows free raw DNA transfers. I tested myself there & 23andme too. I also uploaded my results to gedmatch along with my brother. Thanks for getting in touch. I’m in California & I think my Francis/Oram cousin didilu said she was in Australia too.
