Origins, DNA

                                                             ORIGINS & DNA
     DNA results carried out by Professor Sykes and his team at Oxford, (ref: www.oxfordancestors.com ) for the Matri-line of EMMA JANE RISEBOROUGH (Baker), wife of JOSEPH EVERETT RISEBOROUGH, ref Matlaske page, A8/3. These results show, through EMMA's female ancestors only, although inherited by male children but not passed on to their children, a 90% Celtic origin with a possible Anglo Saxon infusion.
     Professor Sykes and his team have identified 7 major groups of people named as Clan Mothers which, for identification purposes, they gave names. EMMA's matri-line is named as HELENA and dates back 20,000 years. This group, like many of mankind's races, migrated out of Africa and settled for a time in Eastern Europe. From there they worked their way westwards through Europe and, some of them if not all the group, skirting the ice sheets of the last Ice Age, found their way into Britain whilst it was still part of Europe. Please remember, this DNA is only passed on by the female descendants of EMMA and stretches back through her female ancestors.

North Yorkshire, near Pickering & Normanby: RISEBOROUGH CARR & THORNTON RISEBOROUGH. Also near Normanby is an ancient Hall, believed to have been originally built around the 1100s, named as RISEBOROUGH HALL.

According to some reference works the name RISBOROUGH indicates ancestral origins at either MONKS RISBOROUGH, mentioned in 903 AD, &/or PRINCES RISBOROUGH, MENTIONED in 1004 AD, both in the county of Buckinghamshire. The place was recorded as HRISANBYRGE in 903 & RISEBERGE in the Doomsday Book. MONKS RISBOROUGH belonged to Christchurch, Canterbury, & PRINCES RISBOROUGH was held by the Black Prince. According to one reference source the added name of CARR, as in RISEBOROUGH CARR, means in Old English a hill or hills covered in brushwood.

There is a RISEBOROUGH WALK (road) in Nottingham, & awaiting a reply from Nottingham History Society as to how the road got its name.
There is GREAT RYBURGH near Fakenham, to be researched, also a RISEBOROUGH PARVA which is believed to be near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk.
For our Australian cousins there is a RISEBOROUGH ROAD at Lime Lake, West Australia.
