    HIS NAME IS MY NAME TOO A Y‐DNA STUDY OF THE OWSTON SURNAME AND ITS VARIANTS James M. Owston, EdD Draft Version 6.2 5 February 2012 The Owston One‐Name Study is registered with the The author is a member of the ABSTRACT In 1990, three family researchers had the fortune of discovering each other nearly simultaneously and began sharing information that became the basis of this study. While nearly all discovered Owstons and Oustons could be traced to one of three families having their origins in the original East Riding of Yorkshire, there was no evidence proving that familial connections existed among the three groups. These families originated in Ganton, Sherburn, and Thornholme in the parish of Burton Agnes. By utilizing Y-DNA testing at 43 markers, this study sought to discover if the three families could be linked genealogically, although traditional records signifying such did not exist. If connected, it would likely to have been prior to the adoption of English parish registers in 1538. Although the study is ongoing, preliminary reports link members of all three families to a common ancestor in the past. Seven of the 10 original participants share common markers of the I1 haplogroup. Of the remaining three participants, two Thornholme subjects did not match anyone else. Since genealogical data has a confirmed paper trail to the earliest known ancestor of the Thornholme family, it has been determined that non-paternity events occurred in these two lines. In addition, one Sherburn family member did not match any other participant due to an adoption in his ancestral line.

We realised that though the county council are responsible for our Looked After Children and Care Leavers, some of the important changes we had to make involved housing and leisure which actually sat with the district and @woldsvalleywarbler borough councils. We put together a group of offices, members and of course young people and over seven nights gave seven presentations to seven different district and borough councils. Our Children and Families officers over the following two to three months followed up on these presentations until we got a joined up agreement on the proposed changes with the districts. This would have been so much easier and more efficient had we been a single unitary authority that was able to deal with these issues internally, and how much better and faster the outcome would have been for this group of vulnerable children and young people.
