DNA results to date

To recap, as at the time of the 1841 census, there were four Emptage trees, two in Thanet, one in Sheppey and Grimsby, one in Barbados and we are seeking to prove that the descendants of all four trees are genetically linked.

Why do a DNA Study?

Why do a DNA Study?

Our theory is that all those with the name Emptage are descended from the same ancestor who originated in Thanet and we would like to prove it.

To do so, we need to connect all the dots or, at least, as many dots as we can but what can we do if the paper trail is lost?

DNA testing proves two hypotheses

DNA testing proves two hypotheses

Andrew writes of his journey as he began researching his family history and discovered his origins. He discusses how he arrived at the Anglo Saxon theory and his conclusion that all the Emptages in the world may have originated with one common ancestor in Thanet. Andrew outlines his reasons for deciding to take a DNA test and the amazing results it generated.

The beginning of the DNA Study

Team member Andrew wondered whether DNA testing could establish a genetic link between him, descended from the Emptages of Thanet and team member Roger, descended from the Emptages of Sheppey.
