I don't have anything put together yet. I just started. I really don't know how to go about it yet, but, I saw your posting for John Firth after I found my great-great-grabdfather John came from England on June 28, 1842 from Liverpool. He wasn't born until around 1820. At least I hope I got that right. If I ever get anything put together I'll send it to you.
I don't know a thing about genetic testing.

Thanks

Hi,

Based on your descendants' time and place, I don't believe there's a connection between our Johns, but I'd be happy to have a look at your family tree if you'd like to share it with me. You can see my family tree (the address is in my original post). Additionally, if you've participated in genetic testing, that might help us in determining if and how we might be related.

Hi, I'm new to this and have been trying to find info on relatives. I have a great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather both named John Firth here in Trenton New Jersey. The great-great-grandfather was born in England, I don't know where around, 1820. His wife's name was Maggie and she was born in PA. Could this be one of the Firth's you have info on?

"His daughter dawn informed me yesterday her dad had sisters"

In my opinion (which you are free to ignore) that is not sufficient evidence to say it IS the correct one. It certainly adds to the likelihood, but only documentary evidence such as certificates will prevent you going down a wrong and fruitless path.

Re: Firth family history (Barnsley area)

nigel1308 — 2012-04-08 01:56:49Z

Have you obtained a copy of Frederick John Firth's marriage certificate? That should tell you who his father was, and his age. Those two pieces of information should help get back a couple of generations at least.

You do need the certificate to be certain, but a quick look at birth's would suggest this is a likely candidate:

Name: Frederick J Firth
Mother's Maiden Surname: Toon
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1942
Registration district: Barnsley
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Volume Number: 9c
Page Number: 323

This then links back to the following marriage:

Name: Frederick Firth
Spouse Surname: Winifred Toone
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1932
Registration district: Barnsley
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume Number: 9c
Page Number: 595

The related births index suggests Frederick had siblings Mary, Margaret, Winifred, Alice and Christine between 1934 and 1945, all in Barnsley.

BUT, none of this is valid until you have that first marriage certificate to confirm the link back to the parents, so you know this IS the right Frederick J FIRTH.

Do you know how to obtain the certificate(s)?

I've completed a family tree that descends from John Firth, and to a small extent Edward Riley, who along with William Hall and Sylvanus Pond had various related business ventures in the music instrument-making and publishing business in New York City during the 19th century. Fortunately, there's quite a bit of literature on the web and in the U.S. census data to trace most of John Firth's descendants, the tricky part will be connecting him back to England as I don't have any information linking him to his parents or birthplace. I want to post this in case there's anyone else out there interested in John's family tree. Also, I'm participating in the Thrift-Frith-Firth genome project and will be happy to share my test results, once they become available, with anyone who may be interested.

I have recently started researching frederick john firth who married Anne Gerrard in Barnsley 1964, they had 2 children Dawn Denise firth 1965 and Lance Firth 1968. they divorced and both remarried but little information is known about frederick john firth . No info can be got from Frederick Firth as he died 2010. So desperate for help as Dawn does not know anything about her family due to her mother being estranged since the divorce and subsequent remarriage , even did not know she had a brother until this week as her mother was pregnant with him when she left. Please lets help her !!

gomersni — 2012-01-02 00:32:41Z

Are these still available? If so, I'd be very grateful if you'd send them. My interest is in Harriet Firth - perhaps the daughter of the John and Harriet of your certificates - who married Edward Tolson Gomersall (sometimes Gomersley) in 1859. At that time her father John was a sailor. Aside from the certificates, does any of this ring a bell with you? In any case, many thanks.

Re: Transferring DNA test results from ancestry.com to FTDNA

rnthrift — 2011-12-21 03:24:34Z

Carol, I think the only advantage of testing the son instead of upgrading the father would be in the rare case where the son had a new mutation. That would be nice to know, but not vital, and it is pretty rare -though it did happen to another father-son pair in our project. (Remember, these mutations have no effect on anything health-related, it's basically just a changed number for a marker.)

On the other hand, it would be much cheaper to transfer Horace's results from Ancestry.com to FTDNA, and simultaneously upgrade to 67 markers. That's probably the way to go. We can't mention prices here, I'll email you offline (I may have an old address for you; tell me if you don't get it by Wednesday). Or, since there's a time limit for the sale, it may be faster & easier to just call FTDNA at (713) 868-1438 and say you're interested in transferring his Ancestry.com results into the Thrift /Frith /Firth Project at FTDNA and upgrading to 67 markers.

You asked about a membership at FTDNA. FTDNA does not operate by ongoing subscription fees like ancestry.com does, it's all included in the price of the test or transfer fee.

Re: Family History

SFirth69 — 2011-12-18 20:45:31Z

I cannot come up with any real additional info, at best I have a few niggles.

Regarding the Orkney Firths, it seems clear they (we) get their name from the parish of Firth which gets its name in turn from Firth Bay. Firth Bay is one of those place-names where both component parts have the same meaning. In this case Firth means a bay, so it is Bay Bay. Remember Orkney was a Norwegian possession from 875 until it came as a dowry with Queen Margaret in 1472.

In my (untutored) opinion, the Yorkshire Firths are more likely to be from the 'scrubland' origin. They seem so prolific in Yorkshire that a few immigrants from Lilliesleaf would be hard-pressed to explain this population. According to Google, Firth at Lilliesleaf appears to be a single, modern house - Maybe next year, I'll drive down and have a look. (My grandfather came here to Glasgow from his father's farm near Stromness on Orkney Mainland.)

The Borders clans which indulged in rustling, blackmail and mayhem (so what's new?) were described as 'reivers', which just means 'raiders' or 'thieves''. It was a description, not a title. The Border clans had normal names like Armstrong and Douglas, but I could not find any mention of Firths.

Sorry I don't have more relevant data for you, but should you have questions, I'll gladly try to answer.

Richard Thrift...I am contacting my brother Horace Firth to see if we can

Re: Family History

rnthrift — 2011-12-17 21:28:17Z

Stan (or anyone), can you tell me more about Firths being "reputed to originate in Lilliesleaf in Roxburgh"? I don't have much info. Perhaps the Firths in Roxburgh are a separate family?

I gather it is mentioned in "Tartan For Me!"... by Philip D. Smith, which I don't have access to.

I see a snippet of George Black's "Surnames of Scotland" posted here
http://members.tripod.com/firth_home/surname.htm
which seems to show the earliest mention of the surname in Scotland in the 1500's, while it was in Yorkshire from the 1200's. I'm just not familiar enough with the details.

thanks!

Stan, your profile doesn't allow me to send you a message directly, otherwise I'd do that. I, like many others, access this forum from Rootsweb, not ancestry.com, and many ancestry.com subscribers don't realize that the default profile settings block direct contact from nonsubscribers.

If you are interested in the DNA project (or know of anyone who might be interested), the testing company, FTDNA, is having a 20%+ discounted sale through the end of December, 2011. Actual prices should not be discussed on these boards, but there's a link to prices at the Thrift /Frith /Firth Surname DNA Project's site map,
http://bit.ly/TFFDNA

Testing 67 markers is preferred, testing 37 is still helpful. See also the Background page linked at the project's site map.

(Ancestry.com also tests DNA, but they do not offer enough markers to really be informative, and cannot upgrade to testing more markers when needed, so FTDNA is MUCH preferred. Ancestry's "43 marker test" is really equivalent to FTDNA's 37 marker test. Both are useful, but take a look at the Firth "family grouping" pages to see how much more helpful 67 markers can be.)

You never know what you'll find until you do it. You may find matches in Norway, or may be surprised to find that most matches are from elsewhere. Granted that for the near future, testing a Firth who lives in (or can clearly trace to) the region of his ancestors is likely to be of greater benefit to other Firths who cannot currently trace their ancestors back. Getting information from DNA testing is really a team effort: the more people who test, the more information provided by the results.

I've got a separate question about your comment in another thread, I'll post my question there

Re: Firths of Redding, Shasta county, California

SFirth69 — 2011-12-17 11:45:53Z

Yes, the Orkney Firths are a completely separate group, the name originating in the parish of Firth and the Bay of Firth (meaning 'estuary'). It is surprising to see how local to Yorkshire and to Orkney the two branches are. Of course, it is only comparatively recently that large-scale movements away from birthplaces have taken place.

Re: Firths of Redding, Shasta county, California

KJBurrill — 2011-12-17 05:12:13Z

Richard, I found your DNA research interesting, & amazed what all can be found from this! Amazing. Hope you get many more to test!

Firth is my husbands line – this is what I have so far, but I don’t think/ or see right now how they fit into any mentioned in this dialogue.

WILLIAM FIRTH b abt 1787, married to ELIZABETH BINCLIFF (b abt 1787)

Their only son that I know of now, is JOSEPH FIRTH b 1813 in Newton, Wakefield, England. He married & probably produced several of the following children, but unknown for sure right now. Secondly he married HANNAH DOBSON b abt 1820 in Kellington, Whitely, Yorkshire. Their 1844 Marriage solemnized at Mill Hill Chapel in the District of Leeds in the County of York, England. Entry 136 - Married on the 12th of March 1844,. Joseph Firth of full age, widower, occupation is Porter, residing at South Parade, Leeds, father is William Firth, and Williams' occupation is Cloth Draper.
Hannah Dobson of full age, spinster, residing at Elmwood Terrace Leeds, Father's name is Septimus Dobson, and Septimus's occupation is Farmer.
Married according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the English Presbyterian Denomination by minister Charles Wicksterd (?), and Thomas Briggs is Registrar.
Both Joseph & Hannah have signed the certificate, and witnesses were George Firth, and Henry Fuller.

Joseph & Hannah’s children that I know of now are:
Sarah Jane b 1839, Mary b 1842, Maria b 1846, Martha b 1850, Elizabeth b 1853, Alice b 1855 d after 1901 in Leeds we think. (*our great grandmother), John William 1858, and Emily Firth 1863. All born in either Hessey, or Leeds, or York.

Do these people fit in anywhere with those you are searching here on this log?
As far as I know none of the Firths that I have looked at came to the USA.
Thanks anyone....Kris Burrill

Re: Firths of Redding, Shasta county, California

rnthrift — 2011-12-17 04:34:17Z

The name Firth is apparently a toponym, taken from a generic place name, so one might expect it to have been taken by several different unrelated families at different times & places, even within Yorkshire. However, we have had DNA tests from five different Firth families (one did tests by both father & son), and found, surprisingly, that all are very clearly related. The most recent testee, whose DNA results are not all in yet, seems to descend from Joseph Firth christened 1789 in Hartshead, Yorks.

However we have not yet tested Firths from Orkney or other locales. I expect the Orkney Firths to be unrelated to the Yorkshire Firths.

If you scroll down to the chart shown on this page:
http://bit.ly/TFFDNA-fam_grp
you can easily see the patterns that show that the Yorkshire Firths who have tested all belong to a single family group. (I haven't yet had time to add the most recent Firth in to this chart, but he is closest to Samuel Firth from Lightcliffe). In contrast, the Thrifts who have been tested so far can be divided into four completely unrelated families.

The Firths are a large, old family, and eventually I'd like to use the DNA test results to go beyond merely showing that the Yorkshire Firths are all related to each other. I would like to test enough people that we can show there are specific branches of Firths, and that all within a branch are more closely related to each other than to members of other Firth branches. We might be able to show, for instance, that particular branches center on different regions of Yorkshire.

Re: Thrift /Frith /Firth surname DNA project

rnthrift — 2011-09-27 16:55:40Z

The current results of the Thrift /Frith /Firth Surname DNA Project are detailed at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thriftzzfr...
or http://tinyurl.com/y9mba5d

We have tested three different Thrift families so far. Two of these families had descendants who CLAIMED to be from the third family. Instead, testing has PROVEN the three families to be distinct. Further, testing has PROVEN the descendants of Isham Thrift of North Carolina to be very closely related to descendants of William Thrift of Dinwiddie Co, Virginia. (This confirmed my guess, however it was not expected by most descendants.)

So far we have test results for two Frith families, in addition to one branch of Thrifts whose surname was changed from Frith to Thrift ~1670. All three of these families are shown by this test to be distinct. Currently we are awaiting results from a Frith of Abbeville, South Carolina (results are expected in late October 2010). There is a very good chance that the test will show a close relationship to one of the Friths already tested.

Unfortunately, there has been little interest among Firths so far. With rare exceptions, I expect that Firths will not match any Friths or Thrifts (but I am sure that if we test enough, we will find the exceptions). There seem to be very few Firths at all in the databases, despite the fact that Firth is by far the most frequent surname (perhaps twice as frequent as Frith). I hope more interest will develop, and we can then show which Firth families are related (or unrelated) to others.

On this site I cannot post the link to the Project's site that contains an introduction to DNA testing, and to this Project --Ancestry.com WILL delete this post if I do (and for that, and for all of my Rootsweb posts that they have deleted, they deserve a big raspberry.)

However you can find the introductory info and other information, including a list of family trees online, at the Project site map
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thriftzzfr...
or http://tinyurl.com/3vjhms

Information on some origins of the surnames can be found at the One-Name Study:
http://www.one-name.org/profiles/thrift.html
If you have info to add, please contact me.

I hope people will make their family trees available online for others' benefit. (You never know when you a relative who needs your data will start researching). And I certainly hope more people will participate in the DNA project. People from England (and elsewhere in the Isles) as well as from other former colonies are specifically encouraged to participate. We need you!

Please contact me before ordering a DNA test. I do have some important tips. (However we can use test results from any company that tests STR markers of the Y chromosome.)

Please note - this is a completely non-profit endeavor.

Re: Hannah Firth, daughter of Tempest Firth in West Yorkshire

Hannah was born in Kirkheaton and one census said Kildwick or said that is where she was from...The name Tempest Firth came from the marriage cert.and no town listed nor occupation. They lived in Cowling after the marriage where John Shuttleworth was born. It's a brick wall for me, in California.

Re: Hannah Firth, daughter of Tempest Firth in West Yorkshire

JulieSkellern — 2011-09-26 07:28:56Z

I've not looked at the FIRTH families for some time, but I had attempted to try and put all the Bingley families together.... as I'm part of one of those. However, there are two distinctly different branches of Bingley FIRTHS, geographically separated, due to the shape of the parish over the moor. The ones between Keighley and Halifax, for example, all connect in with the HAWORTH Firths... and those down near Cross Flats and on the Bradford side of the Moor are different!!!

I've not got any records on Tempest at all, nor recall the name, but if you can geographically linked, I can likely you put you in touch with the other family!

Hope that makes sense. You may need to get back a tad further to ascertain where you belong.

Hi Kerry

Just letting you know I have read this! I am tied up helping with a photography exhibition and then getting sorted before I finish for the Summer at work on Friday. I will get back to you about this next week. Reuben was my Gt Gt Grandfather.
