My DNA is in the lab, results should be in by August 26th.
I posted a newspaper article, of a diamond wedding anniversary, from 1933 in a Gravesend Facebook group and have been contacted by a distant cousin. I now have more pictures
Still no progress on the elusive gt grandmother yet though.

I had exactly the same thought - but wasn't brave enough to put it in writing.

If I did that I think they would say I was related to a Soreen Malt Loaf.

It's a cliff hanger isn't it? I'm hoping for a connection with Pocahontas, but quite ready to be disappointed.

Pocahontas is, allegedly, buried in the town I was born in. Watch this space

I forgot another relative of sorts also came from that area but trying to find a Sarah Smith would not be easy , if related , then ironically she ended up in South America with her husband.

My maternal grandma came from Wimborne in Dorset and previous generations of her family from Cornwall. In a watered down way that would make me partly more suvern than you.
I'm OK though as my paternal side from the upper dales are probably from Norse stock.
Some must have bred with the last invaders as my surname is of French origin. Mongrel stock.
