Is this the grave of my 4th gt grandparents? I photographed Roderick Fraser (c.1768-1857) & Mary MacLean’s (c.1783-1869) grave last week, as part of my #MyGairlochFamilyHistory trip. Let's see what we can find out… [1/] 
This grave is just a short distance from where my 3x gt grandparents, Margaret Fraser (c.1811-1852) & Alexander MacIntyre (c.1808-1872), are buried in Gairloch’s Old Burial Ground. It’s not conclusive, but that *could* suggest a family relationship. [2/]
Margaret and Alexander's gt grandson & #FamilyHistory buff thought that these were Margaret Fraser's parents. He lived in the same village & researched a lot of local history. Last week, I saw an original #FamilyTree he drew years ago, where Roderick & Mary are shown. [3/]
Thread: Building a strong DNA matched tree

I wanted to expand on my paternal search methods as to help others in a similar situation. Evidence, both DNA and documentation, is central to supporting any conclusions.

As I said in my last thread, I found that my paternal matches fell into three family groups: Petronius, Tütscher & Tyneslawe. But that wasn't enough information to support my hypothesis. I could build a tree for each family but it had to be supportable by the facts.
I started by building a tree based on:
1.Birth and Death certificates
2.Marriage and divorce documents
3.Federal and/or state census
4.Other Government documents such as court rulings, land grants, etc.

THE #FamilyTree OF #RAMA
Lineage of Rama has been extensively documented, not only in the Ramayana but also in Mahabaratha & Bhagavatha Purana etc. The Bhagavatha Purana is one of the 18 Purana, which among other things also speaks about the genealogy of various dynasties.

The extensive family tree chart that follows, gives us the list of kings in the Surya Vamsa, Solar dynasty, lineage to which #Rama belongs.
This lineage starts from Kashyapa and his wife Aditi. Kashyapa is regarded as the father figure of those times, after whom comes the famous king Ikshwaku. From, Ikshvaku, dynasty from which #Rama hailed.
