Goals

• Determine the “genetic profile” for this branch of COMBS.
• Establish the “lineage genetic profile” of the ancestry for this line.
• Note: The lineage to Joseph Coombe who died in Auckland is well researched and the link to his mother proven. A lot of information is available regarding his life. This is available from NZ papers and the Australian BDM information. Information regarding the UK side has been sourced from the LDS site and is not so researched and there is a great deal of confusion as there is a multiple of names. There is a mention by the researcher MR of Joseph Coombe who went to NZ but no direct lineage. In the London end of the lineage there is a lot of duplication of names and places of christening. Apparently some of the churches amalgamated and single persons can have multiple locations of christening. There is also an apparent shortage of first names and this creates chronological confusion trying to identify particular people eg Mary Ann Coombe after the birth of her son Joseph and the death of her husband Joseph married a Joseph whose parents were Mary Ann and Joseph and they had a daughter called Mary Ann and the remarried Mary Ann formerly Coombe went on to have a daughter Mary Ann. Thus there are multiple marriages of Mary Anns to Josephs and multiple marriages for a Mary Ann to a Joseph Coombe.
