I am attempting to use DNA testing to solve a very old family mystery. My ancestor used the name Burgess when he migrated to Australia in 1838 but a recently discovered 1838 diary suggests his real name was Crawford.
I had a 25 marker test conducted but no matches were found with any families. However using Ysearch, only one match appears. This match is with a CRAWFORD family in Canada. However the match is only 9 out of 12 markers. Is this sufficient evidence for me to say conclusively that our real name should be CRAWFORD, rather than BURGESS?
