My Origins

The above shows the source areas of my DNA - with the percentages from each of my parents (each providing 50% of my DNA). It is not 100% accurate, as based on comparisons against the database at Ancestry.com.

Paternal - Sandercock and Crowhurst

The Sandercock family originated as farmer's labourers in Cornwall (with another, unrelated, line being miners). The Crowhurst's originated in southern Sussex, and seem to have also been in the agricultural field, as my Great-Grandfather, Samuel Crowhurst, was a gardener. 90% of my paternal DNA originates from Cornwall, Devon and southern England, which fits perfectly ith these families being from these areas, and having little, or no, movement to or from other areas.
