Can anyone recommend a hair stylist within Northampton or a reasonable drive from Northampton who can cut a jawline bob and generally has weekend and evening appointments available?
Hoping to find a place that has price transparency up front and/or a simple formula for how much the haircut will cost.
I have a brick wall on a line with my Green ancestors.
The last relative we have a decent amount of records for and feel fairly certain about on the Green side is William Davis Green (b. in either 1848 or 1851 in Nashua or Exeter, NH depending on the source, died in 1890 in Boston.)
Based on information passed down in the family, my dad meeting for coffee with a Green relative and from the family trees of relatives on the Green side who do genetically match us, William’s father was born in Vermont around 1820 and was named Thomas Green and his father was also named Thomas Green. We have little to no documentation for either and I’m not confident that the information is accurate, so I’ve been hoping DNA matches might be helpful.
I match over 300 people on Ancestry who either have a Green in their tree or are male with the last name Green on my father’s side who I have tagged as Green using the groups feature. However, despite going through and painstakingly noting each oldest living relative and the location of their birth and viewing their matches, they are either part of the very small group that also has William Davis Green in their tree, or they match a cluster of Greens that seem to be a coincidence and are actually related to me through a completely different line (usually on my Irish side) or they seem like “one offs” matching very few other people with Greens in their trees. I do have many Green lines that originated in the South (Virginia/Georgia) long before William Davis Green was born but despite Green being the only surname we share, they match none of my dad’s side of the tree (but are “Paternal Matches”.) Even those families don’t seem to overlap in any clusters beyond families where everyone took a DNA test (the entire cluster is a grandma, kid, grandkid, aunt, uncle, nieces and nephews of whoever built the tree originally.)
Some of them match several of my lines but no other Green matches. I’ve tried using the Leeds method using Ancestry’s clusters tool after watching a few videos but either I’m doing it wrong or there’s not much to be gleaned through the process.
It feels like I just keep finding clusters of people related to each other through the Green surname but if they’re related to me through that line, I can’t find the link. I match only 2 or 3 people with Greens in their trees (other than those who have William Davis Green) with lines in NH or Vermont and none of them have any genetic overlap with anyone who has William Davis Green in their trees and no connection when I build out their trees.
As mentioned, I do match with others who have William Davis Green in their trees, and a few of those do have some shared matches with 1 or 2 random Greens (but none of them overlap or I’d consider that my strongest lead.) When I click on those, it’s often one of the random Green branches in the Southern US where I can’t seem find the children of their siblings who could have possibly parented either Thomas Green or even William Green if the info about Vermont was wrong.
My only guess is that maybe one of these Georgia/Virginia families and migrated up to VT or NH eventually but even after trying to build out the trees of some of the siblings that show up in these clusters, I haven’t found anything helpful.
